Well, the testing went well, and I feel vindicated by the results. I had Skin Endpoint Titration done. It uses needles in your arm and tests various concentrations to see what you react to. I tested positive for a few trees my blood testing didn't show at all. That alone explains my winter misery. Also, my dustmite and molds were still very high, and the nurse said I haven't been getting strong enough allergy shots for those. Grasses took a very strong concentration of serum to produce a reaction, so it shows that those shots are working. Cat came up suprisingly high, while the dog shot is apparently working because that was okay. Ragweed didn't register at all, which suprised us both because it was highly positive in my South Carolina results. Apparently, the allergy shots I recieved there took care of my ragweed allergy.
All in all, It was a good test. The nurse said she is very glad we did it, and it will be very interesting to see if these shots improve my symptoms. She is very optimistic.
