As the Allergist Digest turns...

Mike took Madaya to her Allergist yesterday and had the next set of allergy testing done along with the follow up and visit for her recent actions.

Madaya has been sneezing, complaining of a sore throught and mouth, itching her eyes, snoring, being moody, distended belly, and wheezing most days lately for the past 2 months ( it started the week before her birthday party ). We had her to the pedi 2 times and both times she repeated that it appears to be brought on my allergies and her system in general the fevers spike, the nose gets clear and runny yet we never find anything - so we waited for this appointment.

The Dr that saw her was new to us, because her Dr. is out on maternity leave, so he was on the cautious side and wanted to know exactly who and what with Madaya which lead to an all over exam again and going back to the basics.

We started with things in our home. I.e. Dog, Rabbit, Fruit, Veggies etc... and then went on with other things we have noticed I.e. Cat, Trees, Grass, Mold ....

All of those two panels were negative except : Cat ( all 3 markers ) Dog ( 1 marker - Long Hair ) and the other environmental were all 1's. They think because she is in a " Histimine Reactive " state right now so some will have to be repeated.

The cat allergy was severe at a 9+ of 8 @ 15 minutes. And the Dog 1:8 @ 20 min.
The route for now it to bring her into check and to get her regular again. She is out of it, moody, bouncing off the walls, and a truely uncomfortable state most of the day.
We will treat with allergy meds 2 times a day, and using her new ProAir Inhaler 4 times a day or as needed to control the asthma that is coming along with these reactions.

We have to keep a record of reactions, places weve been etc for 3 months and see if we can find a pattern.
The allergist and Immunologist says that these things sometimes just get worse with age, instead of better and maybe thats the case with Roo. Last time the cat was a mild reaction of 2:8. and Dog 0:8.

Here is hoping to some quick releif though and finally some answers.

Let the momma guilt begin. I should have known better. She hasn't been herself in a while.
