I tried on a coat last week. Didn't like it and took it off.
Then I started with the horrible symptoms...running nose etc. Looked at the label. It was wool and cashmere blend. It got so bad that I actually came home and changed clothes and washed what I was wearing.

I was sure I must have tested wool, although it wasn't on my list. I knew I had tested the Fabric Mix. So I figured I must be allergic to cashmere. I took some samples in to Lisa. I don't own anything cashmere but I have some angora sweaters. (Cashmere is goat fiber, mohair is hair fron an angora goat, and angora is either from an angora goat or rabbit.) I figured if I'm allergic to cashmere I would probably be allergic to the other things.

Well, I was allergic to those. And then she pulled out the wool vial and I was allergic to that. Needless to say, I was stunned. Lisa has been to the house and we tested everything. We have wool area rugs and they were O.K. when she was here. So is that why I'm still having such a problem in the house? And in the car with the carpet? Not allergic when she was here and now I am?

We cleared the fabrics. She suggested cupping again for my lungs but it didn't help. I'm getting very discouraged. Nothing seems to help right now. I'll have to go back to the doctors because I can't breathe. Very very sick of this. Feeling sorry for myself. So tired of feeling bad. I've been doing this for a year now. I've seen the testing work. I've seen the clearing work. What is going on? Anyone doing NAET have a suggestion? I'm considering getting an appointment at Devi's office to see what they come up with. Maybe something has been missed, or maybe there are just so many allergens outside that you can't keep up with them.
