I'm a freak...

Yesterday I spent the morning at the allergy clinic at the hospital. Which I'm not complaining about I've had worst Monday mornings.

I'm allergic to lots of things (unfortunately) and this test was to confirm what exactly it is that doesn't like me.


Interesting test, it went like this: the nurse wrote weird codes all over my arm (see picture below), these codes apparently mean something! She then put a blob of each solution next to the codes, before pricking my arm no less than 15 times!!!!



My arm - lovely isn't it.
It's starting to swell and go red next to the solutions that I am allergic too

So I'm allergic to:

Cats: tell me something I don't know. I found this out when I was about 14 at a sleep over when I sneezed for about 4 hrs and eventually got my mum to collect me
Dust mites: slightly harder to avoid, the buggers are everywhere!
Grass Pollen: kinda figured that out already too
and the cherry on the cake = Tress: yes trees. The very thing that keeps us alive (the whole oxygen cycle thing)

So after the test I assumed the nice nurse would help me remove the strange coding from my arm........oh, no, no, I was wrong, she sent me packing!

I got a few funny looks on my way to work. I bet I looked like some mad woman who had written a coded message (or more likely a shopping list) on her own arm!

I've managed to get most of it off, but I look like a grubby school kid. The pen won't come off!!!!

Poor thing.. :(
It sucks to be allergic.
(I'm just allergic to things you can eat..)
I'm guessing there will be no trips to the woods in the near future.. :P
Do you get any medicine for it?
(All of them..)

Where do you work?

What are you allergic to? I get heaps of medicine for it, bit of a nightmare.

I work in Marketing.

Red meat, oranges, apples, kiwi, beer, wine, anything too spicey..
Most things containing an amount of acid.. :P
But that's really because of my stomach^^

Taking loads of medicine is really troublesome, but it's good if it helps.. :D

Ok^^
