Allergies

Today I went to the allergist at U of P’s hospital for allergy tests. Oddly enough, the only positive reaction I had was to ragweed — that, and the histamine shot that made a big red golf ball appear under my skin. I didn’t have a positive reaction to dogs, cats, tree pollen, or dust — all of which make me sick as a dog.

I’ve never been allergic to ragweed. In fact, August (with peak ragweed) is the only time I don’t have a problem.

The doctor told me you can have a localized reaction to allergies, so my puzzlement didn’t last long. But the itching is still here. And the antihistamine they gave me is making me very sleepy.
