I’d recommend Boise Asthma and Allergist. They are the ones that I went to (as well as my sister) Dr. Keeley (I’m pretty sure that’s his name) is the one we saw. And he took my cat allergy seriously even though I had negative blood work to cats. He even said that blood tests aren’t always accurate.

He’d take the time to help you guys figure it out. I’d highly recommend them…if insurance covers them. But I’m sure they’d be willing to work out payments or something too if needed. (They did for my sister.)

No epi-pen. I’d feel better if we had one but so far he’s been to the doctor three times. First time they prescribed him a week’s worth of steroids. When he went back with the same symptoms, they gave him a shot & the allergy med prescription. Then they did blood work that all came back normal. Now it’s time to progress past the doc in a box and go to an allergist.

Well Benadryl always knocks him out…it does me too…so there was a “good” explanation for the sleepiness. His bloodwork tests came back negative for all food allergies but I’ve read those aren’t always accurate. My plan is to STRONGLY encourage a trip to an allergist.

Does he own an epi-pen?

Um, yeah, that lump in his throat is the “swallowing issues” that the article mentions.

And is he suddenly very sleepy? That’s the drop in blood pressure.

I’m speaking from experience. I have food allergies, and what he’s experiencing sounds a lot like my last episode.

Get that man to an allergist and find out what’s causing this. Even if medicine is suppressing his symptoms, the more he is exposed to whatever he’s allergic to, the less the medicine will work.
