Waking up an old thread, I hope. This is long and probably unnecessary to read for some people, but I don't know how to explain this any shorter. If you wanted I asked my questions down at the bottom without the details.
EDIT: I took the details out, it was extremely long. If you want details to answer them better or just want to know because of curiosity, let me know and I will message you.
I'm looking into joining as a reservist in maybe 2.5 years (I'm not done highschool until next February) and I have some weird allergies.
Dragonfruit (only once, horribly sick), cats (but I have one, sneezing), trees (so said the test but I've never noticed it before), nuts (all except almonds, carry an epipen), and I think I'm allergic to sulpha/sulfa? I'm looking into get a blood test for allergies done to clear up the unknowns and to find out if I'm actually allergic to nuts and trees.
To shorten up my long post:
- Would my needing a puffer when the weather goes below -25 C go against me?
- Would my needing an epi-pen for unknown allergies go against me?
- Would my needing an epi-pen for known allergies (most likely nuts or extreme cold) go against me?
- Would my asthma go against me even though I use my puffer maybe three times a year.
- If it turned out I don't need an epi-pen as the incidents were just a fluke or I'm not allergic to anything, would my having them in the past go against me?
Thank you!
