I took Eli in to get tested for Allergies. Ever since he was born he has always been stuffed up-the weather has been really windy this week and I think it has been affecting him so off to the allergist we went.
They drew lines on his back and then pricked him but they said it doesn't hurt-he didn't seem to mind so I guess I believe them.
There was one dot that really looked bad-turns out that is just a test area to make sure the test is working.
So the results-he is allergic to....NOTHING! Well they call it Non-allergenic Rhinitis...which doesn't really mean much to me. I think it may be that he has symptoms of allergies but to nothing specific. But they gave him a chewable that when he seems like he has symptoms to give it to him. The positive is that he doesn't have to be medicated everyday-just when he shows symptoms.

I would love to know specifically what I am allergic too. Mine are terrible right now. I'm glad those pricks didn't hurt little Eli.
Garrett wasn't allergic to anything either, just seasonal allergies, but I think in Vegas with it being so windy and dry there is so much more gunk in the air and it affects all of us more. I would love to see what happened to our allergies if we moved somewhere else.
I have never suffered from allergies until I moved to Vegas. Every spring I get 'em really bad. This spring has been particularly unbearable. So I feel for Eli. I am glad that the test didn't hurt and that it seems to be just seasonal allergies. Hope he finds some relief!
I had the same test done, and they told me the same thing - I'm allergic to "airborne dust". WHAT! At least they didn't say horses or hay...can you imagine? Eli is such a trouper...*High* 5 for Eli!
ugh, that doesn't look like fun, but glad you got good news! my sister is alergic to grass... not fun, along with a bunch of other everyday necessities
i'm just a blog stalker. but what is that bump in the second picture? my husband gets that on his side sometimes and it stays for like a day, other times a couple days and then completely goes away. is it allergy related? we can't figure it out for the life of us. he says it doesn't hurt, it just shows up.
