Did I read right that he's doing a challenge after good RAST results? They don't SPT? I'm curious about the different ways doctors do things, so that's why I'm asking.

- April 02, 2013, 03:55:50 PMGot the call, the almond challenge is a go. Will probably schedule for mid-summer when the pollen is lower since he has to be off antihistamines for a week.

- March 27, 2013, 07:20:30 PMGot the RAST results back with no surprises. Almond still a little high; waiting for a call back to see if they still feel a challenge is warranted, or not. The value could contain some background noise from Birch, which continues to be quite high.
I'll keep y'all posted.

- March 20, 2013, 10:25:51 AMRecent studies suggest that the magic number is (as evidently car rental agencies had determined using only actuarial science, curiously)....
about 26yo, at least as a 90th percentile of people.

How about Bert and Ernie for the young 'uns?
Yes, of course we will time the challenge foe when he can manage without antihistamines for a week, but given how busy they are there we will call to schedule it ASAP.
And now a vent: He went out to dinner tonight and did not take his epipens. When I challenged him on that, he justified it by saying that he ordered something he's had before at a resttaurant he's eaten at many times.
So, at what age does that frontal lobe finally mature? Yeah, I'll be totally gray by then.

I have him all sorts of scenarios that could have led to a reaction, and he got very defensive. I hope he's doing a better job up at school.

- March 19, 2013, 08:47:42 PMGlad the appointment went well. How exciting that he might be eligible for a food challenge! I hope the blood test leads to the next step.
If he has a food challenge, does he need to be off antihistamines for the food challenge? If so, would you want to postpone the appointment until summer?
As for voiceovers, wow Pee Wee Herman would be annoying.
