I echo everything that Sharon Badian said about finding an allergist, type
of testing, shot reactions, etc. She neglected one thing... be sure that you
go to a REAL allergist, i.e. someone with "allergist" right after the M.D.
on the sign. (There are a lot of quacks around who will tap the bottom of
your foot to see if you're allergic to something, and other wierd things.)

I've been treated succesfully for the last 19 years of my life for my
extensive allergies. I'm one of those people who 100 years ago would have
been a basket case for the few SHORT years of my life; now I'm 99.9% normal
with a normal life expectancy thanks to modern medical technology. :-)
