S. had allergy symptoms as well. Runny nose, itchy eyes. She didn't have the wheezing or other major issues (ok, major to us), but somehow it clicked that she shared some of his symptoms, so maybe she had allergies as well.
I took her to the same wonderful place. She had 32 (I believe) pricks on her lower arms. This is before they had a chance to react.
After they did the testing on the lower arms, they did more specific testing on the upper arms. She had to have 16 shots (that is not the technical term, but there were 16 needles and they went into her upper arms.) The pictures show obvious reactions.
We discovered 17 allergies that day. There was 1 we already knew about for a total of 18 allergies. Poor girl. She's awesome!
So to sum up, S. has more allergies, but J. has a stronger reaction.
