Allergy testing with pricks on your back is nothing. You just lay there and fall asleep for 15 minutes til they come in and check them. Then if there are any "iffy" ones, or ones they'd like to try a higher dose of allergen, they give a small shot on your arm above your wrist. No big deal. I had the tests a few weeks ago. 56 on my back, and 11 on my arm.
As to your diarrhea. It might be a side effect, or maybe you were just having a touch of the flu. One doctor told me that if you have side effects, give it a little while and see if they go away. Sometimes the side effects aren't that bad, and the medicine is doing more good than harm. And often, the side effects go away once your body gets used to it. So unless they are life-threatening or really bothersome, just tough it out.
By the way, I'm on Advair 250/50 and Singulair and not experiencing any problems. The first night with Singulair I had a bad dream, and read that can be a side effect, so now I take it in the morning, not in the evening. No problems.
