Allergic Test Experience

I have been suffering allergy in my nose since I was in elementary school. A lot of friends or colleagues always ask if I have a cold or flu. My allergic condition had improved since I immigranted to Canada. The ear/nose/throat specialist recommended me not to eat dairy products such as milk, bread or cheese in order to avoid nose congestion years ago. However, my allergic condition has gone worse in the past few weeks. I couldn't sleep at night and I had to breathe with my mouth. There were times that I had nose congestion and I didn't even eat any dairy products. Therefore, I visited my family doctor on last Saturday. He referred me to an allergic doctor on Broadway & Heather St. for an appointment on Feb 12 at 4 pm, which is today. I was so happy to have this appointment as I can get off at 3 pm on a normal Tuesday! (Ha...the fact is that this specialist does not work on Saturday and my manager granted me a 2 hours off!)

I thought it would be painful when the allergic doctor poked 26 small needles on my arms (15 holes on my left arms & 9 holes on my right arms) to test what type of food/material cause this allergy. Not exactly! It only took the doctor less than 20 seconds to proceed. I don't think it's painful at all. What's the result? My allergic doctor said I may have allergy to dust. Well, I guess it's time for me to vacuum the carpet in my bedroom. Please pray that my nose congestion will get better after taking nasal spray and allergic medication. Thanks.
