GiaKrembs 0 #1 March 13, 2006 Some of you may recall I posted a thread about allergies sometime in January (too lazy to search for it)... I finally got off my ass and I am seeing an allergist today. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. The attacks are getting worse and about monthly now... knowing that there is a potential end to this makes me very happy, however knowing I'm going to get poked by a bunch a needles makes me a bit nauseous. Well, anyway, if around 4 pm (Pacific time) today if you have a second or two to spare send me some warm happy thoughts. I know, I'm a PANSY ASS!!! g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

He said the pin pricks did not hurt, not at all deep. What bothered him most were the ones that he did have a reaction to. They reacted rather quickly (itching) and then he had to continue to sit still for the required amount of time. He said that chewing gum helped him to not scratch. I hope this does not make you more anxious. I seem to do better if I know what to expect and am hoping you are the same.
