severe allergies


Posted: Apr 19, 2016

I cannot take most allergy meds.  Is there a spray out there that does not cause nose bleeds?  Thanks so much.

I would suggest regular saline spray - sm

You could also try a neti pot. I've never used one, but I have multiple friends who swear they are wonderful for helping with relief of their chronic sinus issues.

When I had to move down south for a job, I developed horrible allergies. My doctor there told me to eat honey that was from my specific area so as to combat the allergies. Worked wonderfully. Apparently the bees harvest all the allergens from many places in that area and help you build immunities, which if you think about it, it makes sense. Good luck.

I Use - Regular Saline

I agree with checking with your doctor since they're so severe, but there's no harm in trying saline spray. You can get it anywhere and it's not expensive.

I just use it every morning, and my allergies don't flare as much. It keeps the nasal passages moist and it flushes out allergens, because after using 2 sprays in each nostril, you'll need to blow your nose. Let it sit there for a little while, then have a good blow, but not a forceful blow.

FYI: Don't EVER force blow your nose. That just exacerbates the swelling in the sinuses.

Dogs With Allergies...Feb 23, 2012
My dogs definitely cannot have poultry or corn, and wheat is questionable.  I am trying to find dental chews/biscuits.  I'm using Zuke's Z-bones right now but the problem is that one of my dogs is just biting/breaking it into chunks and swallowing the chunks, not much good for his teeth and gums!  He chews his crunchy dog food and regular treats so I was hoping maybe I could find some dental biscuits of some sort, but everything I'm finding has wheat or chicken ...

Question Regarding Allergies. (sm)May 05, 2010
My 24-year-old daughter started breaking out in a rash yesterday.  At first she thought maybe it was a heat rash, but then overnight she started to feel a little feverish.  This morning she woke up and the rash was tripled in amount of bumps and all over her body.  Plus she has been dizzy and very nauseated.  She went to urgent care and they told her that it was an allergic reaction to shrimp she had eaten.   They just gave her a shot of prednisone and some Benadryl ...

Cat With Possible Food Allergies?Apr 24, 2013
Does anyone have a cat with food allergies?  My white/tabby mix seems to always be itching but does not have fleas.  His white ears are frequently pink and warm and he scratches quite a bit.  Last night I noticed him licking his belly and it, too, was quite pink. We have been round and round with this kitty since we inherited him from my MIL.  He was always a puker and I have improved that condition with different food and hairball treats, but I'm wondering if the pukin ...

Person Around Suddenly With Allergies, Does ThatJun 30, 2014
I have a lady who comes to clean every other week. I have 4 cats and they are all long haired and yes they do shed. This person has now worked here probably at least 3 months or longer. This past week she said was sick, visited her doctor with chest tightness. I asked if she had ever had asthma. I did as a child and had 2 bad recurrences as an adult and this sounds somewhat like that. Her doctor went down a list of things and one thing asked, are you around animals. I would think if allergic to ...

Back Pain......severeFeb 13, 2012
Any suggestions for severe higher back pain? It's around my left shoulder blade and goes into my chest.  I've done the heat and ice, hot bath, Advil, Flexeril, and sleeping in different beds in the house.  Nothing is working and it is literally killing me. Unfortunately I work for a company with very little work so I can't just up and go to the doctor.  Sitting here and working is just too hard when all I want to do is lay down and try to sleep. ...

Severe Depression And AnxietyMay 16, 2016
This is going to be all over the place, but please bear with me. I have to get this out. I've been fighting severe depression since I lost my dad, and that was in 2011. I went for months and months not even wanting to get out of bed, waking up and immediately having a panic attack. Who has a panic attack when they first wake up? It seems as thought negative life events have just piled up so far, that I don't have the energy or the motivation to care anymore. I was molest ...

Severe Shoulder Pain, Does This Sound Like SomethingNov 13, 2012
anyone else has heard of or perhaps had, needing some input. I know we are not doctors but we hear and type so much that someone might have heard of similar.

No arthritis, nothing else diagnosed except have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia in the past although this is 1 spot. I had EKGs, x-rays, have been given Flexeril, anti-inflammatories, Medrol Dose-Pak, pain pills, have been to P ...

CTS And Severe Hand Pain On Awakening (sm)Dec 10, 2013

This Morning I Woke Up Suddenly With Severe DizzinessJan 06, 2010
like the room was spinning out of control and I could not stop it.  That lasted about 1 minute I think followed by terrible nausea.  I thought I would throw up but didn't.  Then it kind of subsided over the next couple hours, and now at the end of day I feel okay but still a little nauseous.  Wow - what was THAT????  I've never had that experience before and I hope to never again!  I started looking online but there are so many things that could cause this ...
