To explain why I'll ask odd questions like this from time to time: It's confusing to figure things out when you have several related things going on. Allergies, and eosinophilic esophagitis are related and interact, but are separate. Same thing with allergies and MCAS, and same goes for MCAS and the eosinophilic esophagitis. Even the things I need to avoid are difficult to figure out without extensive blood work. My skin prick tests are um. Well, like this:

(Disclaimer, I usually react to the negative control too, so take it with a grain of salt). The things I reacted to least (or not at all) are among my more sensitive allergens. Like peanuts and pears. So the entire test was basically useless. *Shrug* doesn't make it easy to figure things out. It also doesn't help that my reactions can be weird. Severe reactions make my blood pressure go UP not down. Toss in the anxiety (aka feeling of impending doom) and most doctors first assumption is anxiety disorder, since I often have little skin involvement. (Except with peanuts)
