Well I must say that someone needs to come to the defense of Jill, You're just expressing YOUR opinion and I think it's a good one at that!! I have researched all of these posts and couldn't agree with you more! You just had the guts to tell someone how it is. Reality Sets In!! I think there is a very simple solution for Annmarie, if you don't like what the allergist says.. call your OB & relate the allergists info, Annemarie may just find that the OB will agree with the Allergist after all. It seems very apparent that if Annamaria doesn't like what the doc says then she will continue until she hears what she wants. btw, i suffer from allergies as well, when I was preg i discontinued all meds and survived. Annamarie, you can too. Just my opin
