Jesus… Allergy testing was one of the worst experiences of my life. I had the back needle million poke thing like you described, and they also did a grid of shots into my arm. Absolutely awful. All I wanted to do was rub my back against the stucco wall of the doctor’s office like bear but they wouldn’t let me D:
Yeah I legitimately resisted going back because of that memory. But I was in such sad shape I finally said fuck it I'll give anything a shot to feel better. And I'm very glad I did.
A ton of my allergies have gone away since that test (oh gosh that was so long ago!) I no longer get seasonal, and I can rub cats on my eyes now! Cat face rub is an incredible QoL upgrade.
I’d happily get tested again if it’s that much less horrible hahaha
