I don't haz allergiez?

Went in for an appointment with an allergist this morning, and a skin test. Basically all negative for environmental allergens; they'll do a more sensitive test a week from tomorrow.

I did, however, get a lot of useful information: how to properly apply nose spray (the nostril opposite the hand holding the sprayer, so as to avoid spraying onto the septum) and the fact that my itchy legs are probably eczema rather than an allergy (with a prescription for a cream I can use on them that's more effective than 1% hydrocortisone).

Plus the fact that my history of TIAs makes me a bad risk for desensitization shots. But it looks like I might not be needing those anyway.
