That's interesting, as X's skinpri ck to egg white is 16mm now (was over 20mm) and we've been told to test with wellcooked egg... but strictly no raw or under-cooked egg even if he appears fine with the challenge. (plus I can't do the challenge yet anyway cos he's not coming off zyrtec any time soon, but that's a separate issue). GL with it, can't wait to hear about it
Oh wow hun, maybe as J had reacted very recently with hives and very swollen eyes at the time he tested at 16mm?? He was only 18 mths at the time but I pretty much know he has outgrown it for cooked egg anyway. We are away as of Wednesday so I won't get to do the test until we get back. Not too stressed he hasn't reacted for so long and has eaten a fair amount of egg cooked in stuff up until now. Just need to keep the raw stuff away. He also said if he reacted again I could get some bloods done to test the severity and something else I can't remember Bel do you see Dr Cutting???
Yes we do normally - for skin tests for the last 2 years... but today just trotted off to see Dr Orchard (dermatologist) who also does skin tests. Got some answers re his chronic itchiness which was great (am updating my other thread about that in a mo). May stick with Dr Orchard as I liked his explanatory style a bit better... plus, he's ..erm... not too hard on the eyes. Rawwwrr!
