Arse. DD has made no progress in 'growing out' of her allergies, and it seems there are more to add to the list. Possibly.

We dont know for sure, because the pathology dept apparently cocked up the tests and "didnt have enough blood to use". Which is a crock of shit, but, what can you do?

Therefore, the test was far less detailed this time and, instead of knowing which nuts she is allergic, it just says "mixed nuts". Also she has a reaction to Cats and Dogs - again - no specifics - not enough blood.

As for cows milk - levels are the same, well, slightly higher - this is the most disappointing one.

The Consultant said that all her reaction levels had gone up, in fact . He did say that this could be because there was 'more of her' too, which sounds logical, but its still disappointing and the tests arent that accurate either. He suggested that they could be done again, but, I dont really want to put DD through it - clearly she is still reacting .

Her asthma is more under control now though, although the 3 inhalers are making sure of that.

Found out today that Piriton syrup is not recommended for very frequent use.

Apparently you can get other antihisthamines in syrup form.....you learn something new everyday, dont you!!!!

Aww thank you folks - has been very informative

I do know a fair bit about avoiding cows milk because we avoided it totally for DD's first 2 years. I'm just utterly disappointed that its not showing signs of getting better. Also disappointed at the prospect of more medicine we have to give her.
