I had it done. It wasn't exactly FUN, but it wasn't horrible. And at the end I got a sheet showing exactly what I was allergic to (or at least, all the things that I was allergic to of the ones for which they tested. I'm sure I'm allergic to way more than that!)
After it was over, they gave me a Claritin to help any swelling go down. I took a Benadryl at home and that helped more. Some of the bumps on my back itched for days (ragweed, etc.) But still, it wasn't bad.
How did yours go? Are you allergic to a lot of things?
