Have had a stomachache for the last couple of days and am wondering what else it could be.

I have an allergy test scheduled for tomorrow, but I'm thinking of bailing because even if I do get an idea of what my exact allergens are...so what? Nothing I have tried (e.g., Claritin, Astepro) has worked for me, and I don't think I will go as far as getting shots because my allergies only seem to appear during the springtime.

So I'm on medicaid right now. Found an allergist on Zocdoc who would seemingly take my insurance, and she did when I went in for an initial consulation. I've got an appointment for allergy testing tomorrow, but I called my insurance to confirm whether or not it's covered. Person on the phone said they couldn't find the allergist in their network, so the testing wouldn't be covered. They had no idea what to say when I asked if it was possible that their listings simply weren't up to date.

I've got Horizon NJ Health. Called them, but the person on the phone seemed clueless. I actually saw an allergist the other day who was apparently in network (found her through Zocdoc, and she took my insurance when I came in for an initial consultation). But the person on the phone claimed that I wouldn't be covered because she said the allergist was out of network.

Is it normal to barely feel the mist going into your nostrils? I primed the bottle and made sure that there was an obvious mist coming out, per instructions, but when I'm actually spraying it into my nose, I barely feel anything. Bottle is upright (or close to it) when I'm spraying, and my head is tilted downward toward my feet.
