appt with allergist but not sure if we need to go??
« on: April 16, 2012, 12:42:12 pm »
M was referred to an allergist a couple of months ago as she kept having ezcema flare ups on her tummy which I was concerned about. The appt is on Friday but in the last months she has seemed absolutely fine.
I really don't know whether to go - I don't want to waste their time or take up space someone else might really need but I don't know if these things can come and go??
what do you think??

Good to hear, Becky.  Is it after the appointments with alternative therapy that the ezcema has improved or gone totally?  Or are you doing ED?  If you are doing ED, i would still go and hope to get blood tests to confirm the allergens.  If the allergies have been removed, i would still go to just educate those allergists a bit about what alternative methods there are to plant a seed.  One day hopefully they will pick up a course or two and realise that there is a whole world of healing out there that they can combine with their expertise.  Hehe.

No she is FF now and I have only avoided egg but gave that at the weekend and she was fine.

I see, that is great!  You never know, when she is on more solids, there might be reaction from other things.

exactly, that is my concern. Also, she eats loads of solids, not much now she has not had other than foods which are not recommended.

Could you rebook for another 2 mths or so? And if she is still fine at that point then cancel??

I'm not sure what they can say if it is a problem which has gone away  :-\
