Hello.
Sorry, this isn't PANDAS related but thought there would be some good knowledge out there...
I was just wondering what people thought of intradermal allergy testing, for inhalant/environmental and food allergies.
Thoughts on accuracy, false positives etc.
I'm wondering 'cos I've recently visited an integrative doctor to attempt to find out why I get ill so often and for as long, when others in my family throw illness off much quicker.
I've had some level of allergic rhinitis for years, along with increased nasal congestion, ear popping in the last 10 years or so.
I'm just surprised at the number of allergies found so far.. many molds, cat, (haven't tested pollens yet) and all foods so far tested - wheat, corn and soy. It's not beyond belief but I'm just surprised I'm not experiencing worse symptoms.
Up side is the allergy technician lady says lots of folk with these many allergies experience weight loss once they get treated.. so there's a silver lining in there that I could definitely benefit from
