[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 408, member: 1722"] We learned this lesson the hard way. We were advised last spring to treat Duckie's allergies with prescription singulair. We were told allergy testing probably wouldn't be necessary as she obviously suffered from seasonal (environmental) allergies. We stopped the singulair after she began having a "behavioral" reaction. Incidentally, this is when her hands swelled the first time. We tried Zyrtec, she developed a suspicious rash. We later learned that "hypersensitivity" was an adverse reaction to Singulair, as well as urticaria (hives) and anaphalaxsis. Unknowingly, we created a situation for Duckie's body where it became hyper-sensitive to her existing allergies and may have even triggered her food allergies. We are now all paying the price, but Duckie suffers the most. Shots bi-weekly. A difficult diet to maintain, especially for a 5 year old. And I'll be holding her down for three more days of testing next month, where she'll probably receive up to 90 injections. And I believe it all could have been avoided. If I'd only known. :grief: -TM [/QUOTE]
