I'm off to Vietnam in six months so I asked my GP for a referral to the allergy clinic. Just been for my appointment and there are no desensitisation programmes available through the NHS (or privately) and I wasn't rechecked on the skin test because it's only five years since my last one.
So that's a bit disappointing.
I have private healthcare but they won't cover anything that the NHS doesn't. The chinese medicine guy at the top of the road did a pulse reading and concluded poor lung function is affecting my immune system and causing my allergy. He prescribed a course of acupuncture and some tea and pills. Kinesiology people are getting back to me.

The kinesiologist didn't ring me back!
I will look at participating in a desensitisation trial.
