Has anyone ever gone to an allergist before? I stayed home sick yesterday because I felt so crappy so I think it might be time to get those horrible shots. I got the name of an allergist from my regular doctor, but are there any tests that a good allergist should definitely perform (or not perform)? I don't know how to judge if I'm getting the best care.
i go to an allergist and get shots twice a week. and yes you get tested...on your back...there's about 100 up and down your back.
*the shots dont hurt
I've actually never had the scratch tests done on my back, I've had it done twice on my arms, though.
yeah the second time i had it on my arms.
Twice a week for how long?
there are certain levels you reach....it all depends on your immunity.
