The Dr. Said

In a search to figure out what is causing Justin's health problem, he visited the allergist the other day for a series of tests. When he previously met with the allergist, the doctor felt confident that his issues could be due to some sort of allergic reaction.

On Friday, Justin went to get pricked with needles...and LOTS of them. Out of 40-some parameters, Justin was allergic to 26 of them! His most severe allergy is to molds, however, he also is allergic to trees, grasses, dust mites, weeds, cats, and even dogs! (FYI---Zoe will continue to live with us!)So what's next? Well, the doctor gave him some samples of prescription allergy medication to see if that helps. Justin will need to follow-up with his regular doctor to see if allergy shots are an option for him. Keep your fingers crossed that this may be the answer we are looking for!
