I went to the allergist today. I've always had allergies, but since I got Roscoe, they had about tripled. I'd been living on Tylenol allergy for the past three weeks or so, and the past three days I couldn't take any sinus meds before my appointment. Friday and Saturday weren't bad at all, but last night just about killed me. It's the typical stuffed nose, tight chest sneezing, and a red rash/bumps when I would touch him.
I got tested for all kinds of things - I'm super-allergic to mold (had a welt the size of a quarter in that area), as well as most trees, grasses, and dog hair. The doc said that I will most likely have to get shots, but we're going to see if the medicine works first. I got sent home with two different types of nasal spray, eye drops, and to take Claritin once a day. Hopefully this does the job. I'm ok if I keep myself on the sinus meds, I just feel pretty . . . medicated! The shots are expensive and I have a stupid insurance policy, so I doubt if I'd be able to afford the shots, at least for a while. The allergy testing today cost me $350 for my share, which is killer for me at the moment. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Roscoe is doing well - his ears perked up this weekend (no more one up, one down) and he had fun playing with Bella, my brother's girlfriends American Bulldog. We're working on climbing stairs . . .
