On Februaruy 10th I went to visit Dr. Norman Tremblay, the allergy specialist. I was just beside myself excited about this appointment since I haven't been able to breathe through my nose in approxiamately 8 years! Anyhow, upon my initial consoltation, Dr. Tremblay introduced himself, interviewed me and then took a quick glance up my nose. He wasn't up there but a few seconds when he said, "Well Jenny, you're not fake'n!" About an hour and a half later, after many tests and retests he comes to this conclusion...
I am allergic to Texas! I reacted to nearly every tree, all grass except for burmuda, ALL animals (even chicken, geese, and duck...no Green Acres for me!), every bush and all brush and most of all...dust mites (that warrants a cleaning lady, wouldn't you say?). The only thing I showed only a level "1" reaction to was mold! The nurse forgot to take the picture until it was time for me to leave so some of my welps had gone down. However...I'm still scratching the cat and that darn mountain cedar!
Alright, now that we know the problems, how ever will we solve them? Perhaps a little...
How about a steriod for starters? Then we'll mix in a couple of nose sprays, some Singular, Claritin D...O, and did I mention I have just a touch of asthma, so a fast-acting inhaler too!
D-A-I-L-Y!!!!!
I curse you cats...and mountian cedar...but, Thanks Dr. Tremblay!

Oh my goodness!! Do you have to give yourself shots? I thought I was highly allergic - I would love to go to one and see what happens!! Good luck :)
My poor darling daughter! I knew they were bad when you were small, but I can hardling believe you are allergic to so much. Guess we all need to move you to Hawaii.....we can try Florida for starters. Keep up with your meds. Hopefully, the itching will subside soon. Love you bunch, Mom
Dang, girl!!
I can't believe your back!! That is crazy!!
Hope the meds help!
I'm telling you, you are going to be a new woman! DIdn't you love Dr. Tremblay? I love his laid back but we're going to get you taken care of attitude! I wish I would have taken a pic of my back, mine would have been all mold, mildew, fungus, grass, but not trees.
