My daughter has some pretty serious skin allergies. We took her to the allergist to have her tested. She was pretty well allergic to everything they tested her for. She's on weekly allergy shots now and has seen improvement. The funny part about all this is the doctor made all these suggestions about removing all her stuffed animals, taking the carpet out of her room, cutting down the pecan tree in my backyard, and multiple other suggestions. All the things she described and suggested took part of her being a kid away. We did none of it other than a daily antihistamine and the weekly shots. I got a really funny look when the doctor asked what all changes we'd made. My answer was none other than shots. I told her I didn't come in looking to raise my kid in a bubble, we needed some shots so she didn't break out in hives all the time.
