After skin prick testing last week our lovely consultant Prof Lack is sending DS for a Challenge Test at St Marys. RAST tests came back negative but DS still tested positive to skin prick testing but size of bumps have slowly been getting smaller (still very visible though!). He said we'd spend the day there and DS would have an IV line in but didnt really explain what else happens. Anyone been through it and can explain? DS very nervous about it, not keen on having IV in all day and I'd like to tell him what to expect so he's prepared.
Thanks
