My allergies are enough to be the legal drinking age! Whoo!

[snapdragon76]

Well, I went to the allergist today. Interesting results. I suspected I was allergic to a few things, but good Lord!

Follow the cut for the full list:



Here's ALL of what I'm allergic to, in a convenient list.

Trees:

Elm
Hickory
Maple
Melaleuca -- huh?
Mulberry
Pepper
Pecan
Palm
Oak
Pine

Basically an entire frickin' forest.

Molds:

Epicoccum
Penicillium
Helminthosporium
Stemphylium

Environmntals:

Cat hair/dander -- yes, I'm allergic to my cats. Luckily it's not sever enough where I can still keep my babies... I just have to wash my sheets more often.
cat pelt -- whatever that is
cockroach-- basically their droppings. Eww.
dust mites - this was a given. I have to wear a mask when I dust.

Weeds:

Nettle

So that's 21 things I'm allergic to. The one I'm most upset about is the cat one. I'm not getting rid of my cats no matter what, so I opted for weekly shots. Not too bad. Kinda bums me out a little though.

Yeah, I have it set up for me to start getting the shots soon. I have to get them once a week and luckily my allergist is in the same building I work at, so it's no major inconvenience.
