Ursula,

I had the intradermals done and I personally prefer them to skin prick

testing. My back is ultra sensitive and I HATED that type of testing.

Intradermals were easy and you could barely feel them. My boys and I

tolerated them quite well. Why 60-100? That seems like an awful lot, but

then maybe they are trying to get in done in one take. It does not even

seem like her arms would be big enough for that amount of intradermals. Are

you sure that they would do all of those in one day? I know that this is

not an easy decision for you...I would talk it over thoroughly with her PED,

allergist/immunologist, and ENT...have them talk and then perhaps you will

have enough feedback to know what to do. Maybe you could work out a " deal "

with Macey...promise her something special, whether it be a special toy or

special time with Mommy etc., sometimes that helps the little ones. I do

not look at it as " bribing " but rather, rewarding bravery. Good luck and

let us know what you decide.
