Allergy specialists and tests

Post by Greengoddess »

My Rhinoligist insisted that I go to a specialist clinic rather then perform surgery on my wrecked nose. ( wrecked since age 7!) I now have blood sent n off for no less then 50 allergens. Specific Ige, Thermo Fischer, ISAC recombinant Ige 112 panel. Hitachi Cheical diagnostics with an "Irish environmental panel," Food allergens and some thing on om Optigen. I'm not sure what I will do if I turn out to be reacting to all these. Live in the moon? It is quite fortunate seemingly that all these specialists even will talk about intolerances and allergies. They are actually interested. I just wish I knew what the solution was. My MC is under control but the other conditions and particularly the rhinitis isn't. He also told me that I wasn't taking enough vitamin d in 10001u per day. Or the B vitamins. And said he was sure forum recommended higher doses!
Seemingly too one can be desensitised to some like dust mites which are almost impossible to eliminate. And cats. I love cats. :cat:

Are you in Ireland Greengoddess........

I have given up trying to find an allergy specialist, glad you found one. I keep telling myself there must be someone with a special interest in allergies in the UK.
