Allergies

rachiee

Hi All,

I appear to be allergic to a lot of things! Is it possible to get a allergy test at the docs?

I know i am allergic to;

Feathers
Dust
Lenor Washing Conditioner
Hay
Straw
Those smelly things you put in the hoover

If i go anywere near any of the above i come out in red rashes and i sneeze like a gooden!

Also theres something in my room i share with my OH that sets this off and i cant put my finger on it! I dont have any off the above anywere near me!

Yep -see the GP. Some surgeries do the tests themselves, some send you to a hospital clinic. The tests are quite expensive for the surgeries though (£250?) so GPs don't always like referring you -you can get it done privately too-but in your case since you have quite a severe allergy you should be ok. Its worth trying to narrow down the allergens as much as you can coz usually they will do the basic ones (pollen, cat fur, dust etc) and if you have anything specific you want to test they may ask you to bring some of it with you. (my friend wanted to know if she was allergic to all fur or just cats/rabbits etc)

Hope you get some relief soon.
