Allergy & Asthma Assoc

I got chronic hives and angiodema on July 19, 2008. It was a horrible scary disease. I couldn't sleep at night and my lips and eyes blew up. My GP did not know anything about it and prescribed prednisone which made me deadly tired. She sent me to a Hartford Hospital allergist who did nothing for me and told me I had a 50% chance of having them in a year. I had every test done. I searched and searched on the internet until I found a woman who had the same thing as me and went to a dermatologist, allergist, immunologist like Dr. King.I found Dr. King on the internet. I brought the articles to Dr. King who agreed with me that the disease is autoimmune (I am allergic to a component of my blood). He prescribed 2 types of antihistamines (H1 and H2) and they work. I got off of the predisone and have been on the antihistamines ever since. If you have a weird or rare allergy go to Dr. King. He will help you. He also saw me the next day. One allergist had a 6 month wait.

I have two daughters with asthma and allergies. I was reffered to this proctie. They are wonderful and very good with children. The staff are friendly and the office is very clean and kid friendly. I found it to be a pleasurable esperience. They got us in quickly and did all teh testing in one day. They called me for a follwoup a few days later to discuss our plan of action. i felt ver confortable with tehm and had confidence in their services
