So, I got ds tested at an allergy clinic and feel quite sad at the results :(

I knew he had some allergies from his reactions but now its been confirmed, I feel really upset for him.
I'm sure I'll get used to it but he tested skin test positive to milk, egg, fish, lentils and nuts. Its unlikely he'll grow out of fish, nuts and lentils. They are very likely to get worse.
I feel quite angry too that there are so many children with serious allergies now (confirmed by the private dr I saw) and there seems to be very little resource given to it. 'They' must know what is triggering these allergies, probably some of the vaccinations. Why does it seem like nothing being done?
Rant over.

Maybe getting a treatment plan organised by your paediatrician would be a good idea. They did this for DS for both his allergies and his asthma, then the community nurse came into the school to talk it over with the teachers and provide epipen training. Then the school have a written procedure to follow - if X happens, give him his inhaler, if Y happens he needs antihistamines. Since we had a plan agreed there haven't been any problems and the school only phone me if what they're doing doesn't work - otherwise they tell me at pickup time 'oh he had his inhaler today at these times and this number of puffs because'.
