allergy testing take 2

After two years, it was time to have my allergies re-tested. So, in I went for them to write the numbers on my back, drop lots of droplets of antigens on my back, and scratch around each droplet. Wait ten minutes, and this is what you get:

Well, this is what you get if you are me and have severe allergies!!

At any rate, good news! My allergies have gotten better in the ragweed, mold, and mildew categories! So the shots are doing what they are supposed to in some degree.

However, in comparing this year's list to the list from 2005, it seems like I have more things on my list now!

Hmmm...she had told me that my allergies were "significantly" better. I didn't have this list to compare while I was there, but now looking at them side by side, it seems like more things showed up on the test today. I have to go back in tomorrow to get my shot, so I think I will take both lists and ask her about that.
