Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 OK, I can see if they were going to be done on the back, that would make sense for 60-100. I think the reason why ours were done on our arms is that our backs had been tested on the same day with the skin tests. In that case, her back would be extremely sensitive. Ask about her arms. See what they say about doing some there to lessen the burden on her. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 and Les both had theirs on their arms, both arms were used. Rows of 10 done twice over with 20 different allergens and each allergen done several times over until a wheel was big. Les had closer to the 100, had closer to the 60. 's arms were pitiful looking. Didn't seem to faze Les too much. Les was so allergic that on the photocopied list of what they tested for they highlighted what he wasn't allergic to instead of what he was. The positive's so outweighed the negatives. wasn't so bad. I probably should have stated there is the possibility of 60-100 sticks, not different allergens. I like the nasal smear idea though. The next thought is though, would the Atrovent nasal spray she is on interfere with the eosinophil count?
