kimberley replied: mine are horrible right now! and i think i have a new allergy to dogs . we were at the IL's last sunday and i was playing with the dog and my eyes were swollen are itchy by the time i got home.

MommyToAshley replied: MMEEEEEE!!!

And if I sneeze one more time....!!!!

I love the weather during the spring, but I just dread the allergies. OTC meds really don't help much either.

MommyToAshley replied:
Oh no! I am that way with cats.... my nose starts running and then I get the watery, itchy eyes. Meds don't help me at all when it comes to cats.

DVFlyer replied: Add me to the (sneeze) list. Hating right now.

coasterqueen replied: OMG mine are soooooo bad right now. I can't hardly move I am so miserable. The weird thing is my allergies were horrible before getting pg with Kylie. Then during my pg and after my pg with Kylie my allergies didn't bother me anymore. Then I got pg with Megan and my allergies came back full force and they've been horrible ever since.

I have been on allergy shots for years and took allergy meds before getting pg with Kylie. I guess maybe it's time to look into allergy meds again.

coasterqueen replied:
I have the same thing with cats. If you see an allergist (like I do) they can give you drops that will clear your eyes right up. They really are a god send because mine would get so itchy and swollen that they'd literally close shut.

gr33n3y3z replied: My Allergies are so bad its triggering my Asthma to start up
Now I have a double whammy

mammag replied: Okay, here's a question..... how do you know whether you have a cold or allergies? Do you just have to pay attention over a couple of years to see if it repeats with the season or is there a way to distinquish (w/out getting tested of course).

kimberley replied:
any idea what the drops are called? i could really use this i have always been allergic to cats but have always had a cat, so my body built up immunities to it. now that my cat died, my allergy is back in full force . i just never had this problem with dogs before.


i can tell my allergies apart from a cold by the syptoms. i almost always get classic hayfever symptoms... itchy/watery eyes, congestion, sinus pressure, and an endless faucet for a nose . with most colds i feel weak or fatigued and usually get a sore throat.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I do.. I haven't noticed them getting any worse yet this spring. But I get sneezy and get itchy watery eyes when I pet my cats, and my dogs give me a runny nose and make me sneeze too. I never used to be alergic to animals... I practically grew up in the barn for heaven's sake!

gr33n3y3z replied:

mom2lilnick replied: Hi, I am late posting to this.

I have severe dust mite allergies and take weekly allergy shots for them.

My dh has severe grass, pollen, trees allergies and he is taking part of a clinical trial right now testing a new allergy shot for grass for FDA approval.

I get a constant sore throat from mine and recurring sinus infections.. I had NO idea that it was from dust mites until I saw an allergist.

My2Beauties replied: My DD has them something terrible and Brian does too! I don't really have them,e very now and then something triggers a sneeze from me or a runny nose but not very often! I livein the ohio Valley too where allergies are prominent so I got lucky but I've noticed as Ive gotten older I do have more allergy attacks.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Mine are awful, as I type this my eyes are watering, I am about to go grab yet another kleenex and If i stick anything else in my ear to scratch it they will probably start bleeding.

oh yeah the Claratin D that is supposed to be helping is worthless, I did find a nasal decongestant spray that kinda helps numb your sinuses for a few minutes, it help when you are ready to go to bed (if you fall asleep quickly)
