[nfbwatlk] Fwd: [Chapter-presidents] Fwd:[Nfb-legislative-directors] Proposed Changes to ServiceAnimal Law Defeated

[Debby Phillips]

I dod't know if this would be helpful to you or not, Mary Ellen.  
But in the 90's I was working my third dog Nat, a little Golden 
Retrievg.  I got sick, and just kept getting sicker, or at least 
not getting well.  Finally my primary care physician referred me 
to an allergist, and it turned out that I had dog allergies.  I 
began the slow, tedious process of getting shots to desensitize 
me.  Of course, I had Nat with me at work, and I went directly 
from work to the allergy clinic.  I asked them one day about 
bringing my dog there.  They said that the shoot time I was there 
would not have any affect on people with dog allergies.  They 
said that cost people with dog allergies could be helped by 
taking something like Claritin or something like that, and that 
short bouts of exposure were generally not that big a deal.  I 
sure hope that you are able to get this resolved.    Blessings,
