Medical Records aren't clear about allergies

[Pepsiman]

Hello everyone. I'm currently filling out my DoDmerb questionare, and going through my medical records, and my mother and I found a bunch of documents pertaining to me taking albuterol and nasonex for allergies. I stopped seeing an allergist and taking medication in 2011, but there is no document that definitively states that I dont have allergies anymore. The appointments just end in 2011 in the records.

We then saw that my pediatrician put down "sees allergist" on my last check up in 2018, which I dont. This literally hasn't affected me at all since 2011.

What would be the best way to go about this? I know I can try to get that mistake amended, but would I need to get a note from that allergist saying I haven't had an appointment or needed treatment since 2011? I'm worried I'll get disqualified for something that hasn't been a problem in 8 years.

She also put in the notes for the last appointment that "asthma seems to be under control" even though in the previous notes, she never mentioned asthma or diagnosed me with it, so I'm confused about that.

Any suggestions on what to tell dodmerb would be extremely appreciated.

First I would talk to your current doc to see if she can/will correct the records. That's very important. You might contact the original allergist for appropriate comments to be safe, but not sure that's needed since you stopped seeing that doctor and things evidently terminated in 2011, which says you were what, 10?
Just my 2 cents.

I'll definitely try to get that error fixed. And I think I might have to get some sort of letter from the allergist since there's no clear indication in the records that I was "better", but maybe I'll just wait and see if they ask for one. Thanks for the reply!
