Allergist/Immunologist

Since every bloodtest, endoscopy, 24 urine test, & lower abdomen ultrasound found nothing, I scheduled an appt. to see an allergist.
Happy that they can get me in this coming Monday morning.
Receptionist said my appt. will take 2 hours.. I'm hoping that means that this doctor is "very" thorough..
I will tell him that 2 tests were not taken and they are the serum typtase and the plasma IgE.
Hoping that it doesn't get down to the cytometric analysis.. That scares me....

Love

Hi Dee:

Hope going to the allergist gives you the answers you need so badly.
I know what it's like having 1 test after another just to be told NOTHING SHOWS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can be very frustrating my friend but hand in there and hopefully you will have some answers real soon.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love and God Bless:
Jodi

A two-hour visit sounds promising. Make a list of everything you want him/her to answer. Keeping my

Morning Dee,

They gave you a great time for a real visit to the allergist. Good luck and I sure hope they get to the bottom of this for you.

Love, Maggie

We left for camping on Friday.
I've noticed that the past few days the appearance and duration of these hives is changing.
Not for the better.
Had them all day yesterday. Definitely visible on the insides of my arms.
Woke up today and the insides of both arms from the wrist to the elbow they were like big, red, raised masses, not blotchy......
Some around my right knee cap.
Some in the groin area.
I sure hope that I'm on the right track with the allergist/immunologist that I'll be seeing tomorrow morning.
Weirdest things that I've ever seen.

Love
Dee~

I really can't imagine how uncomfortable you must feel, Dee. I sure hope this new guy can get to the bottom of this problem.

Love, Shirley

What happened with the allergist? Did I miss a post? Sorry the hives seem to be getting a little worse. Hope you get some help.
