Dessie - you're the best!
I hope my doctors won't need too much convicing re: the allergy testing. Some are a bit adverse to having tests suggested to them, but I'll hope for the best! I did call my allergist and they offer what is called Immucap testing (which apparently is the same as the RAST test), so I'm going to request to have this done.
THANKS for calling Alcat for me! Gosh, that was so nice of you. I think my physician would be on board as far as ordering the test, so I'll see what information I can gather about it.
I'm STOKED to try the enzymes! Thank you again for the recommendation, especially for the Allerase. The information they provide, especially about sugar intolerance was excellent! So, this IS a legitimate issue - thank gawd I'm not the only one!
I've been ok as far as being around animals, but I don't allow my kitty in my bedroom. I do try to keep it fur-free

. Sorry about the news, but likely as your body heals, you will hopefully develop a stronger and stronger tolerance to the allergens! Fingers crossed!!
