tears...

 After months of serious procrastinating, I finally took my little miss in to get an allergy blood test. I'm glad we finally got it over with although it seriously darkened her day. I don't think we'll be able to go near our dr's office (who is also a close family friend) without tears and protestations ever again.
 It was terrible to see her tiny arm being held down and she just cried... I tried to explain it to her beforehand but I know she felt tricked... It'll be worth it once the results come back. I'm sick of playing food detective. I need to know where to start. I want her to sleep through the night and not wake up crying and scratching. I want her to stop biting her nails. I just want her to be happy and comfortable and safe in her body. Living in chronic pain is awful.

here's hoping!
