I saw your reply in the Epi post that the appt didn't go quite as planned. Yeah, the antihistamines have made us delay stuff before too. I hate that. My allergist's rule is 3 days for the Benedryl though so maybe she's really not allergic? FX! Anyway, we've done the blood draw a number of times now and all have been traumatic except the last b/c they finally offered us the numbing cream. It was a miracle, seriously! You have to wait 30 minutes for it to work, but it's so worth it.
