Allergy Tests

Today, I found out that my persistent sinus infections, ear infections, headaches, and body aches are all caused by allergies that I suffer from. The reason why it lead to the development of all these illnesses is because apparently I not only have seasonal allergies but indoor/outdoor! Here's what I'm allergic to:

Foods:
1.)Cheese(all types)
2.)Alcoholic beverages(wine/beer)
3.)Mushrooms
4.)Vinegar;except White Vinegar
5.)Breads containing yeast
6.)Pickled/smoked meats
7.)Sour Cream, Buttermilk, Yogurt
8.)Dried fruits or vegetables
9.)Unwashed fruits or vegetables
10.)No leftover fish(over 24hrs)
11.)Products with citric acid
12.)Cereal, Oats, Rye
13.)Sour cream and yogurt
14.)Chinese Food/MSG
Molds/Fungus:
1.)Alternania(plants)
2.)Aspergillus(soil,hay,grain)
3.)Cephalosporium(soil)
4.)Helminthosporium(cereal,oats,rye)
5.)Hormodendrum(dead plants)
6.)Penicillin(antibiotic)
7.)Sternphyllium(damp areas)
8.)Mucor(Vegetables that are fungi)
9.)Fusarium(soil)
10.)Stachybotrys(straw,hay,paper,lint,dust)
Dust/Mites:
1.) House Dust(all types)
2.)Dust Mites and its feces
3.)Bugs and its feces; esp. roaches
Danders/Epidermals:
1.)Dog dander/saliva
2.)Cat dander/saliva
3.)Bird dander
4.)Dead Human skin
5.)Rodent dander
Pollens:
1.)Hay
2.)Grass(Timothy,Johnson,Bluegrass,Bermuda,Fescue, Redtop)
3.)Weeds(Ragweed,Lambs Quarters, Mugwart)
4.)Trees(Oak,Elm,Cedar,Ash,Maple,Hackberry,Sycamor e,Tree of Heaven)

Let's just say,I'm very upset because not only am I already on a strict diabetic diet, I have to cut out all of these foods in order to help reduce my allergies. In my case, I'm allergic to so many things that its hard to avoid all of them.
Starting next month, I'll be on allergy shots(once a week)! More shots!!! I'm on the pump now so that helps, but still-its always something new I find out I have whenever I go see a doctor! Does anyone have the same issues
