Allergic to Doctors

I saw an allergist today. He said we made a lot of progress for the first visit. He also told me many things that shocked me and seemed very helpful. 

My doctor told me that I don't need to see an allergist and that it won't help. He didn't want to get me a referral because he said it'd be a waste of time and that maybe later on I can try an allergist but for right now it's not a good idea.  I got my neurologist to give me a referral. 

These doctors are supposed to be good. Why do I have better advice than they do? 

Either way, apparently I'm allergic to beef, tuna, pineapple, pistachoios and soy. It's ironic because beef is my favorite food. It's also ironic because beef is the one of the only foods which does not make me sick. If I don't eat meat for more than 2 days I get very weak and sick. So it's very odd that I'm allergic to it. 

He also said that my nose is very stuffed up and in horrible condition. I mentioned my nose problems to my doctor who said that it wasn't a big deal. 

The allergist also said I have stomach problems and prescribed something for it. My doctor said that the stomach problems are part of fibromyalgia and that there's nothing I can do about them for now. 

I'm going in next week again for more tests. I have to get the food allergy tests and then the air thingy allergy test. I knew I was allergic to a lot of things, but BEEF? I wonder what other fun things they discover I'm allergic to. 

I need to be out of the country before September 13th. I was supposed to leave in July. We'll see how this plays out.
