felis_ultharusSo 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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).

Date: 2006-12-03 01:24 am (UTC)If you want to drive them off, it works better if you speak cat. ^^;; Stare intently at the cat you want gone and make that low 'wrrrrrr' noise cats make when they're seriously peeved. Most domestic cats will fuck off, not wanting to get into a fight with someone as big as their owner, and the ones that don't will shortly convince their owners to boot them into the utilities room for the duration of your visit. Problem solved! Now to get rid of the cat dander on the sofa pillows...
