Urk.. I've gotta make the graphs not squish the titles when they are resized.
This is an unfortunately side affect of having to write the entire GUI code for the graphs from scratch, due to a bug in Qt libraries. Fun. :/
Oh, you want the library functions to actually work? What a quaint idea.
To see you here again, good it is.
"Nonstandard" allergies are a real pain to get treated. There are lots of nutjobs out there that are convinced they're allergic to lots of things that they really aren't allergic to. They'll have an allergic reaction if you switch distilled water for what they think they're allergic to and "expose" them to it.
Unfortunately, the nut jobs make it difficult for the people who really do have an unusual allergy. It's really easy for the doctor to decide you're one of the nutjobs instead of one the people who really has an unusual allergy.
Even if you find a good doctor who believes you and is willing to work on it, he has a tough job. There are only solutions for the common allergy materials. He and you probably can't afford for him to go out and start checking on thousands of possible causes. Then, of course, the evil insurance companies aren't going to pay for any "experimental" allergy tests.
I had a good allergy doctor. There was something that gave me allergies when I went to visit my Dad several hundred miles away. The doctor admitted he couldn't help me because he didn't have the test samples for the area he lived in, and that I'd have to see a doctor there to figure that out. He also told me there are no "standard" allergins. Each group makes up its own stuff and one group's results mean nothing to another doctor.
Unless the doctor is something like a university researcher, they aren't really set up to do "custom" medical treatment for "custom" allergies.
If you want to get to the bottom of it, you're probably going to have to do your own experiments. Do your own testing to see if you can find something that reliably triggers a reaction. Maybe get someone to give you a "blind" test where you don't know whether you're being exposed to the real thing or not. Might be hard to do if it's something with a distinctive smell.
