These people are massively arrogant and they don't really have any clue about the possible effects of what they are doing. If you don't want to do what they say then don't do it. You know best. (I say all this while really knowing nothing about your situation. Sorry).

Think they thought I was insane. <br />If there is anything I can do, if you want me to wade through any reading or find stuff or just listen give me a shout - call or email.

Ok, having seen Measles make a quick recurrence, and ditto mumps in the state next to mine, I'm going to out there and say that I think you should continue to look into allergy testing so that you can eventually immunize him to some of this other deadly shit. <br /><br />I'm with everyone who said find another allergy guy. This sounds completely unreasonable, and in fact I think it was incredibly unprofessional to tell you in so many words how he thought you must have felt. Fuck him, indeed. I can't believe you didn't say that out loud, because lord knows, I would've and then marched out of the office.

They don't know nearly as much as I thought they did and should, and they have way too much fun playing the "let's see what happens" game.<br /><br />Surely if anything, they would wait till Cason was older and stronger before doing any testing like that?<br /><br />My son had an allergic reaction to something years ago. He came up in a horrid itchy rash all over his body (doesn't compare at all to what poor Cason when through) and we took him to the docs to be treated. On the follow up visit we asked the doc what we could do to test for the culprit. We thought it was strawberry yoghurt or pinenuts. The doc told us to feed him these things again and see if he reacts. I looked at my little boy, relived the last few days, and said "No thanks!"<br /><br />Big hugs. I hope they can come up with some better/safer options for you and Cason.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682329663202706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335150632431753345.post-21549977407369668602009-04-23T20:18:00.000-07:002009-04-23T20:18:00.000-07:00wow, follow your heart, if it doesn't feel right, ...wow, follow your heart, if it doesn't feel right, don't let them do it. big hugs!Shannon Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288990166879426608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335150632431753345.post-70840989397573933452009-04-23T19:20:00.000-07:002009-04-23T19:20:00.000-07:00This guy is an arrogant idiot.

...This guy is an arrogant idiot. Or, he's ignorant.<br /><br />A vax is usually given into the muscle, which means that Cason managed to pull off a seriously impressive reaction from an IM shot? Even if the vax was very, very diluted, I would be really hesitant to do the scratch testing. Our allergist in NY won't scratch test a highly allergic kid for a potentially severe allergen - and he's the top guy in the field.<br /><br />THE TOP GUY. IN THE FIELD.<br /><br />Which means that your local allergy doc is a serious shmoe, who isn't paying attention to the risks he's asking you to take. Beyond unacceptable. <br /><br />I'd walk away, and see if PubMed has any recent articles with authors based in your area. You want someone who's seen enough to believe that a kid can pull a fast one. Who won't fuck around with a child's safety, especially after their 'fast one' turned supersonic!ZMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469113104449353180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335150632431753345.post-57460641815038067012009-04-23T18:30:00.000-07:002009-04-23T18:30:00.000-07:00a 2nd allergists' opinion?

I don't know if they've done that and still want to check further, but maybe check as much as they can NOT on your son.

We've decided to postpone vaccinating until our children are older (we'd decided this long ago, not to do it on the traditional schedule) and to not do bundles, simply because of the allergy issues. It's such a scary thought and I cannot even imagine what you are going through. I am sending you warm thoughts and hopes that you can find something that isnt as scary!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335150632431753345.post-23296478931170585802009-04-23T14:33:00.000-07:002009-04-23T14:33:00.000-07:00I can't even imagine.
