So last Thursday I had what could only be called an accidental allergy test. I call it accidental, because the-CLSC-doctor-who-couldn't-get-anything-right wrote me a referral for the guy thinking he was a dermatologist.

I know have a complete list of what I'm allergic to, and I was right about most of the things I'd guessed. But my most severe allergy is to dust mites, which means I'm going to have to keep this house as dust-free as possible.

Much more disturbing is that I have a mild cat-fur allergy. I'm getting prescription medication for this one. [livejournal.com profile] montrealais says this explains why cats like me so much.

These two allergies probably explain a lot. I've felt like I've had a permanent head cold the last two or three years, which I just chalked up to work-and-school fatigue.

Anyway, the allergist was also crazy -- there are plenty of sane doctors around, but I never seem to get them -- but his nurse performed the test, so I trust it. And I now have a referral for a real dermatologist.

In other news, NaNiWriMo is over, and I seemed to write much less, not more than my usual output. 50,000 words is about average for me, but this month I only managed 16,000 on the non-novel (not counting jettisoned earlier versions).
