[quote=Anonymous]I have a 15 year old who is allergic to peanuts. She was food-challenged by Dr. Wood at Hopkins when she was 6 and she failed. Since then we have just been doing the obvious avoid/carry epi pen thing. After a few years of going to our local allergist and basically being told the same thing, we honestly just stopped going and our pediatrician fills our epi pen prescriptions and writes our allergy action plans. I've been thinking lately that I should probably take her back to see her local allergist or even Hopkins but I'm not sure if there is any point. I don't want to get her hopes up or put her through new testing if there is little point to it. Thoughts? (PS - this poor kid, who is absolutely wonderful by the way, also has dental issues despite excellent care, and back problems so that's the other reason I try to avoid unnecessary appointments for her.)[/quote]
