Re: Allergiesssssss

It's starting - the sneezing, the congestion, itchy throat and eyes.

I ran out of tissues so now I have a roll of TP on my desk.

The chronic post nasal drip is just constant. I've been sneezing a lot lately. I hate allergies.

It hasnt started yet but I usually get:

post nasal drip, red funky throat and itchy ears.

Re: Allergiesssssss

Thats how I feel, and just generally foggy. I took an Astilin inhaler and a claritin at work today.

Re: Allergiesssssss

Half a benadryl when I get home tonight.
Claritin, Zyrtec just don't cut if. Make me feel woozy and I still have allergy symptoms just milder.
Benadryl knocks me out, but at least I dry up for a while.
DH wants me to try a holistic treatment at his chiropractor's office, but it's too expensive at $795. Insurance won't cover it.

It's done with computers and sensors that are put on your fingers. Apparently it can detect various allergens. It begins with milk & eggs and goes thru a whole gamut of possible allergens, one grouping at a time.
Then when the allergen or allergens are detected, a combination of accupuncture and laser therapy is done to re-wire the nervous system for that particular allergen. You then have to avoid the allergen for about 12 hours. So if a milk alllergy pops up, then you cannot consume anything with milk for 12 hours after the treatment.
