I’m terrified. I remember asa young girl atabout4,I hadthesetests done. Theywish tore-test measI don’t havetheresults,andit’s 20 years later.
I washighly allergic (+5) toabouteverything theydidtome. Theytook needles andpoked allover myback anddidthisabout3-4 times. Ititched andhurtsobadI wasscreaming andcryinginpain. I remember thissoclear likeitwasyesterday. Itwasvery traumatizing tome.
I amterrified togetthisprocedure oranything similar done. Theallergist wanted todoskin scratch testing onmyarms. Dothewelts stay? Howdotheymakethemgoaway? WillI beaffected allday? Hemademe2 appointments andsaidforanynegative results they’d usetheotherarm toputsomething under myskin.
Please anyadvice orBTDT? I know I’m allergic toalltrees,pollens,grasses,animals,dust,etc…already andI don’t want totorture myself ifitisn’t warranted.
Thanks!
I’m going toaskmyMom forthetesting doctor’s name orsomething. I remember thelocation butnottheexact address. Maybe ifI grab theresults andshowthisallergist. I don’t want tobetortured likethis. I havetoalways bealert andonthego. I havea very active 12 month oldandI can’t afford tobeitchy andfeeling likecrapola over someallergy test thatwasn’t needed.
Theyapplied rubbing alcohol over thewelts whenI wasa kid. I canremember thesmell andthestings. Mymom wasgiven somehuge10+ page report showingI hadvery severe allergies toeverything thattheycouldpossibly test mefor. I wasvery sick asa child.
I’m itching andhyperventilating thinking aboutthis. I don’t know ifI canendure it,justthinking aboutit’s bothering me. Mybacks allitchy andsoismyhead…. grrrr
I found theplace! There’s 2 ofthemthatcouldmatch soI’m going tocall onTuesday. Wo0t!
I can’t take benydryl asI ambreast feeding ;(

A friend
itsallpain inthename ofscience. itsnotasbadasyouremember fromchildhood butyouwillgetwelts andtheywont magically disappear. asa kid allthepoking andprodding woudl probably bea nightmare —buti promise itisn’t thatbad. i havefound plain oldbenedryl towork thebest formostallergy symptoms andifthatdoesn’t doitthenyoujustgettosuffer. ifyouhavesinus allergies a neti pot rinse twice a day isbetter thananything elsei havefound. allergy doctors arekinda wack —i thinkeveryone expects toomuch fromdoctors. anddoctors likethecolor ofyourmoney. ifyouneed anoperation geta doctor —ifyoudon’t thentheydon’t doa lot ofgood.
I toohadscratch tests whenI wasyounger. I remember before going toallergy clinic theygave mesomecream toapply onto myarm,didtheygive youanycream ofsomesort? Even iftheydidn’t I’m sure theneedles today arebetter andfaster(goes inandcomes out quicker) thantheyare20 years ago…
Hi,
Here’s a video withinformation aboutit. Itsaysit’s notpainful.
Itshows howit’s done andsomeguy whogets theprocedure done.
Thebumps last a day apparently.
Itlooks pretty painless andeasy tome
Itwillnotbenear asfrightening asanadult. After,andnotbefore thetests take benadryl tohelpanywhelps togoaway.
I haditdone,I amallergic to…..a lot ofthings….yes..lots.
I haditonmyarms,a scratch test,thewelts last abouta day andarenota bigdeal.
I wouldimagine theproceedures arebetter thentwenty years ago.
Probably WAShorrific,now it’s not.
Andyes,I hadlarge reactions toseveral (one inparticular…hehe…),butitwasnotthatbad,I actually found itinteresting..andnow I canhavemymeds x)

Please don’t allow yourself tobetested again fortheirexperiments merely fortheirpersonal research. Theywant towrite a research paper ona ‘case study’after2 decades fortheirbenefits only. IfI wasatyourpace I’d nothaveallowed even iftheygive me$1 billion oranyhigher amount. I’d never want mybody tobedamaged,temporarily orpermanently byothers unnecessarily. Safety principle says:“Safety first,anything elselater.”Never compromise yourpersonal safety. Ladies require more safety thanmen,youknow very well,being a lady. Youarebrave&bold enough thatyouhavebeenwithstanding much more hardships thanyourage actually requires &thattoobeing a greatstruggling lady ofrare kind. Butgreatpower towithstand allsuch traumas doesnotmean thatyouhavetoface those things again. Never allow anytrauma toberepeated. A wise person innever bitten bythesame snakehole twice. Planyourstrategies inallyourdomestic &outside activities for100% SAFETY. Insafety matters don’t believe anybody. Always listen towhatyourmind saysattheendaftergoing through allanalysis &advices ofothers. Itisjustlikeanarranged marriage ofa young girl inAsian countries ,somany proposals frommany boys’side come . Parents,close relatives &well wishers shortlist thegoodones,find out finer details,arrange meetings & secretly find out informations tooaboutanyparticular boy after final selection butattheendONLY&ONLYthegirl tobemarried hasrighttosayyes orno,aftera lot ofthought&herpersonal analysis. Similar logic apply fordecisionforyourtests &anything elselooking problematic. Excuse me,ifI’m wronganywhere.
Theyput21 needles inmyback and11 inmyarm wheni wasyoung
Lily: Youaretaking a greatfirst step incontrolling yourallergies bygetting a skin test. Itwillnotbeasbadasyouremember asa kid. Forone,youareanadult now andunderstand whatisgoing on. Asa child,youdidn’t. Also,now thatyouarea Mom,youarea role model foryourchild. Sojustdon’t freak yourself out. Try toberelaxed. Ifyoulearned anyrelaxing breathing touseduring yourlabor,usethat. Mykids aregrown,butI still usethebreathing tohelpmerelax.
Itsgreattoshowthemthetests from20 years ago,butyourbody haschanged andyourallergies haveprobably changed also, Itisnotuncommon forwomen tochange sensitivity levels astheirhormone levels change.
Justbebraveandremember thatyouaredoing thisnotonlyforyourself,butyouaredoing itforthatprecious baby.
Goodluck
Don’t gofortheTesting further,youwon’t getanyfruitful result. Try todothisNature cure:
Whencoldcontinuous even aftertaking regular treatment over a period of 2 to 5 years,itistermed as‘cold’due toAllergy andwhenthereiscongestion,itistermed asBronchial Allergy. Inspite ofresearches,thisAllergy isnotunderstood andsoitisnotcured. Andasresult,thepatient hastosuffer forentire life andbeina perpetual fearofcatching Allergy anytime.
Itistruethatpainful tests aretaken tofind out thecause whichcreatesAllergy. Then Anti-allergic injections areprepared andgiven tothepatients. ThenAllergy seems tobecured fora short while,butapperars again andmakesthelife ofthepatient miserable. Although Allergy isnotfatal,itisconsidered tobedreaded.
Thebasic fact isthatcommon coldisnotunderstood andneitherisAllergy. Mostofthe‘Common Cold’isdue toexcess heat inthebody. Now whensuch common coldcontinues,theendocrine gland ofThyroid andParathyroid isthefirst tobedisturbed. Asnotreatment istaken tocorrectthefunction ofthisgland,itstartsfunctioning less efficiently. Thisendocrine gland controls thedigestion ofcalcium andsowhenthisendocrine gland doesnotwork efficiently slowly,butsteadily a deficiency ofcalcium iscreatedinthebody. Disturbance intheThyroid/Parathyroid gland leads todisturbance ofAdrenal gland,whichcontrols ‘fire’element ofthebody,i.e. spleen,liver andgall bladder anditalsocontrols proper oxygenation. Thus,less functioning ofthesevital endocrine glands reduces theofresistance power ofthebody.
Thisvicious cycle continues. Thedrugs consumed tocure common coldonlyincrease heat inthebody whichinturn damagestheliver-theradiator ofthebody. Moreover,due tothecontinuation ofcoldfora period oftwo tothree years,even thelungs lose theircapacity tothrow out toxins gathered fromtheblood. Thenet result isthatthebody develop Allergy forsomething. Theover burdened nerves develop irritation against certainthings likeperfumes,pollen,dust,etc. Andsowhenthepatients come tocontact withthatparticular thing;thenerve getexcited.
TheAllergy point (Acupressure) No.21 onthefront andback oftherighthand palm sends signals,one totheliver toslowdown itsfunctioning sotheexcess heat canbeproduced andtheotheranSOS tothebrain todefend against thisenemy. Yhe body knows onlyone language ofdefence-itcreatesHeat. TheBrain produces more H+ i.e. Histami. Aftera while,thebrain comes toknow thatAllergy point hadsent a wrongsignal andrealises thatnothing hasgone intothesystem ofthebody. Andso,inorder toremove theexcess heat fromthebody itcreatescoldbytaking one atom ofoxygen fromtheair webreathe andmixes itwithtwo atoms ofHydrogen,i.e. H2O= water. Theseresults insneezing,watering ofthenose andeyes,coughing,vomiting,etc. Thisfight inthebody between theexcess heat andcoldresults inbrathlessness,depression,etc. Thisisnotunderstood andsoinstead ofhelping to remove theexcess heat andincreasing thepower ofresistance ofthebody byreducing thedeficiency ofcalcium ,drugs likeanti-histamin aregiven tocurb theAllergy. Forthetime being,this process ofremoving theexcess heat fromthebody isarrested. Butvery soon,thebody startsthisprocess ofthrowing out theexcess heat-whichisconsidered tobeanother attack ofAllergy. Thevicious cycle continues. Andso,even Adrenal gland ismore damaged-whichdamagesoxygenation inthebody-createsmore breathlessness andcreatesmore andmore weakness inthebody-leading tomore depression andthepower ofresistance ofthebody becomes solow thatthepatient develops Allergy even against microscopic dust.
Now,once wehaveunderstood aboutAllergy,‘cure’isvery easy. Forimmediate cure;take treatment onpoint No. 21 onthefront andback ofpalm ontherighthand.
2. Starttaking Cal. phos 6 or 12 i.e. 3 pills inthemorning and 3 pills intheevening-Thiswillreduce thedeficiency ofcalcium.
3. Take Kali Phos 200-8 pills onthefirst day andthenonce a week. Thentake Kali Phos 12-3 pills inthe morning and3 pills intheevening. ThisBiochemic medicine willsoothe theexcited nerves,andtheAllergy willunder control. During thistreatment,drinking gold/silver/copper charged water of2 glasses reduced from 4 glasses isalsoadvisable.
TO REMOVE ALLERGY PERMANENTLY THE PATIENT MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:
(a) Treatment ofexcess heat fromthebody dothis: (i) Take asfirst thing inthemorning 1 teaspoonful ofharitki churna (harde powder-powder ofterminalia chebula retz)+1/2 teaspoon ofsugar for 8 to 10 days continuously,thentwice a week. Thiswillalsokeep thebowels clean.
(ii) Take anequal quantity ofcumin seed powder(Jeera),black pepper(Kali Mirch),saunf(Sauwp),amla powder,crystal sugar(Misri), andginger powder(Saunth). Grind themintopowder andkeep itina bottle. Take 1 teaspoonful ofthispowder withwater inthemorning andevening.
(b) Drink 2 to3 cups ofgreen juice adding init1 teaspoon ofHelath Drink + 1 tablespoonful ofhoney. Thiswillsupplement Vitamin “C”anddigestive power andincrease thepower ofresistance ofthebody.
(c) Drink 2 glasses ofcharged water reduced from 4 glasse. Thiswillempower thebrain andtheresistance power.
(d) andalsotake thefollowing Bio-chemic salts: Cal. Phos 6 or12 -3 pills inthemorning &evening for45 days.
Kali Phos 200 -8 pills once a week. Kali Phos 12 or 30 -3 pills inthemorning &evening.
(e) Treatment ofAcupressure isa MUST.
(f) Andtake Blue Light onthechest andback for 5 to 7 minutes twice a day. Thatwillempoer theweakened lungs. Once youstart feeling beeter finishthePranaym withprolonged breath-alternatively fromrightandleft nostril-repeat itatleast10/20 times. Ifpossile alsodoKapabhati andBhastrika.
(g) Incase ofbreathlessness,dothefollowing:
Askthepatient tolie down ontheback between 11 A.M. to4 P.M. andopen his/hermouth wide open. Andpour 1 tablespoonful ofhoney directly intothethroat insuch a way thathoney doesnottouch thetongue. Andthus,justin45 days ,thebody wouldhavebuilt up enough resistance power-removed thedeficiency ofcalcium andalsoempowered alltheendocrnie glands. Sothepatient willbecome free fromAllergy anditsfear.
