After multiple months of insane body crap, I finally got a referral to an allergist. Had one already picked out, some friends of mine swear by him. So I went over this afternoon. Already had my paperwork filled out, like when a doctor makes it easy to do the stupid stuff quick.

Got the vitals checked, and saw the doctor within 10 min, if not less. Nice guy, chatty and has a sense of humor. Given my doctor phobia, it's good not to stress out on meeting the guy. We went over my history, my symptoms, what I've done, etc. Long story short (seriously, we talked a long while.) I have allergies from hell. Seriously, I've seen less OMG looks from doctors telling people about cancer. So, it's not just basic sniffles and me being a hypochondriac. The down side, besides the obvious Mt Cedar...it really could be ANYTHING. My vitamins, my diet, grass, some plant I've never heard of, or, more than likely, some combination of the above. On the plus side, I'm already in a lot of the habits I'll need to be to get over this. And the ones he wants me to start aren't out there for me. So what's the plan ?

Week after next I do the full panel of pricks. (laugh, the only way I'm keeping my sanity is thinking like a 13 year old). 165 of them. But we'll find out what all are the problems. If it's non-food allergies, the next steps are shots. Lots of shots. But I can handle needs if it helps. If it's food allergies, well I change my diet. Which, given my experience with onions, is far more palatable. I know I can change my diet. It will suck, but it's a suck I can control.

So, we'll see. Until then it's more crap up my nose, gargling, and a lot of my current activities. At least I doubt I'm allergic to magnets, for that would make tomorrow SUCK.
