Re: Thank you for concern about ASA desen!

[Guest guest]

Boy, you're a brave one. I am so petrified of even trying desens at

Scripps. I have had two doctors tell me that I am not a good

candidate for desens but for the life of me, I can't remember why...

Please be careful.

I think it is a tribute to the maturity of this group that this technique

was brought forth more than *two years* ago by Drew in his post:

samters/message/582

(and please consider a Cerf's impassioned followup)

and this excellent post was referenced in the primer:

samters/files/Desensitization-v3.html

which is found in the desensitation section:

I was told the same thing...based on having anaphylaxis from

aspirin/nsaids. Trudy.

I don't recall them saying it was because of the anaphylaxis

reactions. I will have to look back through the records I still have

and see if I can find the reason they quoted. My understanding is

that those who do have the anaphylaxis seem to have the best results

with desens. but I could be off in left field with that. but even

with that I am still scared silly to try it.
