You're sneezing, coughing, your nose is runny and you just don't feel well!

The Dr. tells you that you probably have allergies and suggests that you be tested.

Now what happens?

"Who should be tested for allergies?
Adults and children of any age who have symptoms that suggest they have an allergic disease."

Basically, they introduce allergens into your skin and watch for reactions.

For more info on Allergy Testing, please see the link below - it gives an excellent explanation!

BTW... This is wonderful information... my DH hasn't had an official allergy test done however he knows mostly what he is allergic to by the seasons but the tests don't seem too horrible really, I think that he was not really excited about doing the allergy test but I will print this out for him so he can see that it really isn't that bad

Thanks Teri, you Rock!!!

Take Care

Hiya, Des!

Re the link - sometimes when they don't fit the forum, I move part of it to the next line, figuring it could then be copied and pasted. Thanks - It wasn't as long as I orginally thought.

Tell your Husband that my daughter was tested when she was very young!

Hope he gets some help soon and feels better!

Bunches of Hugs, Teri
