I have always had asthma that is agrivated when I get sick. Well yesterday I went to the doctor because I was certain I had pneumonia. However, the doctor told me that it is my asthma and it was triggered by allergies.

I never want to feel this way again, especially without infection. Does anyone know a good way to manage allergies and asthma without using drugs that make you tired (benedryl) or have horrible side effects (prednisone)?

Thank you all.

i have adopted most of my pets and i dont see why they were given up. my lovebird is a sweet heart and the only quiet bird i have, my parakeets are noisy but not too noisy and my conure is agressive but not enough to give him up. i know the people that gave them away owned their own home and had no allergies, because they kept their other pets, so what would make you give up your pet?

I think I might be allergic to my dog or possibly, cats. Anyone have any medicine to recommend me so I’m not feeling so miserable around my baby?

i am getting married in july-fiance is over dramatic regarding allergies and pets b/c wasn’t raised w/ them. he has a mother who will strap an oxygen tank on if she sneezes too many times. so.. i am not dealing with a ralistic situation. i have a short hair mini dachsaund ( wiener dog ) i had her 2 yrs. prior to ever meeting him. he dated me knowing this! sorry to trail off. i am trying to bubble proof my future home to physically make him comfortable. as for those who will tell me i am cruel to him.. he seems to have this gift of being able to turn these allergies on and off at his at his will. i have tried experiments and he has slept next to gracie the dog all night with no breathing issues and talked to me for 30 min the next morning perfectly fine until i pointed this out! so… to make our lives more comfortable, what vacum has a great hepa filtration system and a strong motor for picking up dog hair etc…? thanks so much?

RLJ asked:


My body seems like having an allergy attack is a daily thing now. I’ve gotten so used to having hives daily it’s like if I forget to take my allergy meds then I will break out in the middle of the night. Last summer I would break out in hives everyday around 4pm not matter where I was or what I was doing. If it’s now hives my face, around my eyes, my lips, tongue, or throat will swell or fequent headaches. How do people deal with the same problems daily? HELP ME!! This doesn’t run in my family. I have it and now I’ve past it on to my daughter who hasn’t had them as severe as I yet. Can anyone dealing with the same problem give me any answers. The only stress that I have in my life is these allergies. I eat healthy and I used to exercise on my eliptical daily but now that I’m on allergy meds daily I just don’t have the energy anymore.
