Topic: Allergies! | |
---|---|
So what do you do about allergies? Any good suggestions/ideas? Right now
my nose is like a leaky faucet that won't turn off! I've tried a lot of different things like allergy medicines, hot tea, hot baths, cleaning up my apartment (dust), and drinking lots of fluids. Do I just have to chop off my nose??? |

Try going for some allergy tests if you haven't already to see what you
are allergic too and they can give you injections of histamines to build up your resistance to them!!!! I had allergy shots for awhile until I got pregnant!!!!! |

Ooh I didn't know they had shots for allergies! That sounds awesome. I'm
ALL over it...aaa....aaaaaa....Chhooooooo!!! |

Some people use air filters and such. Wash your bedding weekly in hot
water to kill house dust mites and run your pillows through the dryer on hot for 20 minutes (I think that is what they told me). I have dust mite allergy, is almost impossible to get rid of those things. A trip to the doctor for testing is good, and you can do the shots if you want, I never did, have just put up with them. I use the prescription nasal sprays when they get bad, and over the counter meds, Sudafed for congestion, and prescription antihistamine (Singulair) or you can buy Claritin over the counter now. Other than trying to keep the house as dust free as possible, with things blooming now, there is a ton of pollen out there. Use hypoallergenic laundry detergent and I don't use fabric softener or anything with perfumes in it. Hope this helps. |

I have had bad allergies for a lonnnnnngggg time too and they are a big
pain in the BUTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! I have a low resistance to meds and even the non-drowsey medication makes me drowsey...Go figure!!!!!!!!! |

It's just kind of ridiculous...everything is in bloom and I haven't been
able to get a good night's sleep for a few weeks now. Okay so I will try the washing of my bed linens and pillows weekly, and also going to the doctor to see what kind of shots are available. I'll also go to Safeway or something to see what kind of over-the-counter meds I can get. |

I know what you are saying, La..I have so many allergies, don't think I
could stand that many shots. It has rained here, hopefully washing the pollen out of the air...should help. I have tried an old fashion remedie...Vicks vaporub, helps some. |
|
|
|
The boiled potato trick works? I'll have to try that one! Now, Vapo-rub,
I haven't tried that one yet. |
|
|
|
yup it works on all kinds of infections
my own doctor has not given me a flu shot since i started it (18 years)nor has he given me anythin for infections bein out in west texas ya can pickup infections fast party on... |
|
|
|
don't take Vaporub orally rub it on your chest and
put a warm cloth over it. Dang, I'd never make it as gynocologist.. |
|
|
|
Make an appointment with an alergist.They can do alot for alergies now a
days. (oh-sorry) |
|
|
|
I can personally testify that it works
I use to get real bad tooth infections But when Steper told to drink that It works One of my women use to have infections {female ones} But started drinking that and poof No more Who would think just one cup a day could do so much |

An idea for next year.
Go to the local farmers market, now, and buy some wild bee pollen. You want it freshly collected in the season that affects you the most. Put it in the fridge. This next winter, start adding it to things you eat, like smoothies and such. You’ll start to build up a tolerance before the blooms bust open. I did this when I moved to where I am now. It made a big difference and I can make it through the spring and summer with just a few sneezes. Good luck with this year, shots seem to help folks in the short term. |

my 10 year old has allergies so bad her ENT is talking about a minor
surgery said it would not stop it completely but would slow her drip way down. so we will see i have to take her back in a couple of weeks the nasonex and claritin and even low dose of steroids has never helped her we just keep going in this cycle! it is awful!! feel so bad for her! |

I've run the gamut on allergy meds. Steriods, antihist., the works. I
know what it is; the doc knows what it is--it's the animals! Since getting rid of them is not an option, I guess I'll just have to shut up and live with! Esperenza, don't chop off your nose. Even if it's useless, it's a nice decoration on your face. HAHA |
