nonethefewerSeems I'm allergic to ragweed, most grasses, a couple of types of tree, and dust mites. This is why every so often I completely lose it due to all the UNHOLY ITCHING.
Found this out via going to an allergist during my lunch hour. I like this allergist. He talks about as fast as I do!
I'm taking cyproheptadine, to see if that helps, per the doctor. So far, I am sort of drunk with dizziness.
But! I know it's not psychosomatic, and I'm not making it up. So yay for that. The worst part was the skin test: a bunch of banks of needles, each with different stuff. Just a bit of a prick, nothing gigantic or anything. At first, I noted a slight itch off to the side, which could have been my mind playing tricks on me. By the time the doc came back, I was calling him an unholy medieval torture artist. I DIES. WOE.
But! I'm not allergic to cats, which is a fine thing.
