Odo 0 Posted April 18, 2005 I know what your saying. My allergies kicked into overdrive about a week ago. And the older I get the worse they seem to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted April 18, 2005 Mine have remained about the same for the past 3 years, Luckily I do not suffer from Asthman anymore, I did when I was in HS, but I was determined not to let it botherme, and kept up my athletics like Wrestling and Soccer and i think it helped me overcome iit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madame Butterfly 0 Posted April 18, 2005 I'm allergic to dust and tree pollen, as well as some food allergies. My allergies got better when I started doing yoga. Mostly it helped with the headaches and the under eye circles and yes, even the drainage. I still have allergies, but they aren't nearly what they used to be.

Odie 0 Posted April 18, 2005 I really hot shower helps a lot with the drainage with me. If I short term help I will have a cup of coffee. It works for a couple of hours for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Butterfly 0 Posted April 18, 2005 I used to get killer sinus headaches too, but I only get them now if I don't do yoga. For me it's helped on many levels. I went for my first class in about 5 weeks though today. I felt like my thighs were on fire, but dang it if my headache wasn't gone within 30 minutes of the start of class. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madame Butterfly 0 Posted April 18, 2005 Mine is like that occassionally, I hate it, as I don't know when it'll happen. Sometimes it's in a very delicate or embarrassing situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) The worst time it happen for me is when I was giving a brief with my ship's CO on the bridge. Oh God, that was so embarrassing! <_< Lucky no one said anything about it. Edited April 18, 2005 by Odie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted April 19, 2005 I am not particularly sure if I have allergies to pollen per se. I know I have to go for testing on the grounds that I may have had asthma for a while(meaning not just adult onset). Though the pollen gets pretty thick here, and I tend to get sinus headaches and a bit stuffy when that happens... so maybe. Allergy wise.. I have a skin allergy to acetic acid(it is in things like vinegar, and another form of it is Vitamin E) and ammonia, betadine(I found this out the hard way.. when I came out of the operating room and where they had applied that on my throat and upper chest had broken out really bad and the skin peeled a few days later). And I had a really bad reaction to allegra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is another one I tend to forget about on the grounds that save for my earrings(which I will wear real gold or silver if at all possible or at least nickely free earrings) and a pendant on a silver chain. I really do not wear jewelry much. If I wear more, then I am sometimes reminded of that allergy when my skin changes color, peels or gets itchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted April 19, 2005 I found out the hard way that I was allergic to sulfa medications. It was my freshman year in college. The reaction wasn't bad except I felt I had the flu, a truck ran me over, lowered my blood pressure, and my whole body had rash. It wasn't bad at all acording to the doctor. <_< This happen over Thanksgiving weekend. It took a month to get over the reaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know the buckle on Jeans? I have to paint that with nail-vanish or put a plaster over it; one time it made my stomach like lumpy, scabby, burning jelly...inpatigo...

Itchygomba69 0 Posted April 20, 2005 With the Rain Finally Coming today it should help me by knocking alot of the Pollen out of the air? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted April 20, 2005 I only have problems when its super-hot outside and theres a lot of pollen floating around. My eyes start watering then. Other than that, I'm ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gotabite 0 Posted April 20, 2005 This too is the worst time of year for me. I also believe this is going to be a long hot summer....which means bad air quality...not helping my situation. I take pills, shots......it's really rough. Winter is the only time I truly get relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted April 20, 2005 With the Rain Finally Coming today it should help me by knocking alot of the Pollen out of the air? 319991[/snapback] It usually does here.
