~Post is made possible by My Allergy Test. I was given a complimentary at-home test to facilitate this review. Stories and opinions are my own and are not influenced by any form of compensation.~

Over the past few years we’ve been in and out of doctors and allergists for my son. For those of you that suffer from allergies or have a child that suffers from allergies, you understand how confusing and frustrating it is trying to pin down triggers and find medications that work.

My son had his first skin test when he was 3 because he was having severe reactions that we couldn’t pinpoint. A skin test requires the allergist to pin prick the skin with a tiny bit of an allergy and see if there is a reaction. You can’t touch or scratch it for 15min and although my son did a remarkable job being patient, I can understand how that might be difficult for some children. We found he was allergic to so many things, but the problem was that we had no idea which ones he had very low reactions to and which ones were causing severe reactions. These levels could only be found through a blood test, but paying over $2000 to get a blood test done (due to lack of insurance) was out of our budget.

My Allergy Test removes many of these bumps in the road to stabilizing allergies. First of all, it is the 1st and only at-home allergy test which removes the fear (and financial burden) of going into the lab to find levels on basic allergies. The results not only show you the allergy class and allergy response level, but they also provide a personalized plan for managing your allergies.

Taking the My Allergy Test is very, very simple. It is just as easy as getting your sugar levels checked, if you have ever had to prick your finger for those! The kit comes with:

A lancet (a teeny tiny needle) to prick your finger.
A very small vial to collect a few drops of the blood from your finger.
A alcohol swab and a band-aid.
The stickers to place around the vial and on the card that goes with the package.
Information Card to send with the vial and also one to keep with your PIN.
Pre-paid shipping label to ship the package to the lab.

First you fill out the information on the cards and place the stickers where necessary. Then prick your finger and collect a few drops of blood into the vial. Place the vial into the pre-paid shipping envelope and mail back to My Allergy Test. Wait for your results!

We both wanted to test my son and had waited awhile to be able to do it. He actually fell down and hurt his hand really bad and didn’t want anyone near his ‘boo boo’ so we couldn’t prick his finger. I went ahead and tested myself and have a second one for him for when he is ready!

I tested very low to negative on everything so it isn’t very interesting at all, but it tested for:

We’re hoping that we can see how severe my son’s Mold and Dust Mite allergies are to see if we need to do anymore readjusting of medication and/or cellophane our house from the outside. Just joking!

My Allergy Test is a godsend for many of us. There is a wonderful sense of ease and privacy being able to take the test at home, on our own time and in our own way. The information sent over to My Allergy Test, as well as the results, are completely confidential and cannot even be accessed unless you have the PIN # that came specifically with the kit that was mailed to you. This gives you the same security as having it done at a facility and not being able to get the results unless you go in to speak with the doctor.

This is a very genius, innovative way of allowing people a little bit more control over their health and that is something we all need.
