Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 You’re a fine squeaker!!! Good for you. Now, did you ask to be put on the cancellation list? Between now and then, someone will cancel. Probably a lot of someones. They call from a list. You can also call there once a week to see if they’ve had cancellations, which will reinforce your place on the list. Can you avoid latex until then? It would be a shame to confuse the issue, and I know latex does make those nasty blisters. My sister found latex in her Isotoner gloves once (years ago). Laurie lbilyeu@...

BUT-he's sooo booked up, the appointment isn't till may 17th, and the next place i called i couldn't get in till april sometime. But at least i finally am going! YAY! now i can know for sure my only other suspect is latex, but i don't think it would be so obvious that when i eat wheat 2-3 days before that i get those blisters. Thank you for encouraging me- SQUEAK SQUEAK! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I never thought to ask to be put on a cancellation list, i don't wanna miss school tho, i'm shooting for perfect attendance (employers LOVE that sort of thing...anything that helps me at this point in my life, i have weight lifting restrictions, tendonitis/carpal tunnel from previous jobs, plus all the soldering and latex stuff i have to avoid.) So i figure i'll just wait till i get in, i'm happy to just get in! I hope i am avoiding latex, but i can't say for sure cuz my boyfriend doesn't realize what he's doing half the time (he works at the place i used to with the latex anti-static mats everywhere) I have him paying pretty good attention, but there's always those little slip ups that keep me untrusting....I would think tho that the antibodies they look for for gluten intolerance are different from latex ones? I've found it in thie dumbest places, band-aids, rubber bands, shoes, my underwear : " > the backs of my drapes, the bathmat rugs...sheesh! The braces i was wearing for the tendonitis were neoprene to, made with it. what a mess to get used to!! I still wonder if my immune system all of sudden decided to go haywire, cuz as far as i remember, i NEVER had all these allergies up till about 5 years ago. Ok...sorry for the mini-novel!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 If they call you to fill a cancellation, you can turn it down if it isn’t convenient and still keep your original appointment. I just don’t want the dermatologist to dismiss your rash as latex allergy and refuse the biopsy—that’s all the confusion I meant. Laurie lbilyeu@...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Could still just call them and ask once a week? I see waht you mean by the biopsy thing, i wouldn't tell them it might be latex, cuz i REALLY want to have them check for gluten intolerance instead, i've been fighting for that for about a year. > > > > You're a fine squeaker!!!
