This smoke is killing me. I can't stop coughing. Pray that they get those fires under control VERY soon!!

Well my Allergy panel is done.

Holy crap do I have a lot of allergies! The Dr. came in and said "Congratulations, you are allergic to Earth." Out of 40 things I am NOT allergic to 5 molds and two weeds. I AM allergic to everything else!! WOW!

I start my dual shots on the 12th. Once a week I go to the Allergists office, get two shots, hang out for a while to make sure I have no reactions. Then I can be on my merry way. I will have to start carrying an Epi-Pen though. Not so sure I like that idea.

Drops work faster and is the naturopathic way to go, but my budget says, 'can't afford it, if insurance doesn't pay the $800 a year'

I will get relief in approximately 2 months.

Dust mites are the worst allergy. I can't avoid them!! I got full zipped covers for the bed, box spring, the daybed and all my pillows. NOT cheap! My vacuum cleaners are both with HEPA filters. Lots of steam cleaning (thank GOD I have one on each level & Pot Belly for the rest). No more sweeping. Dusting only with steam or a damp cloth. I have to strip once inside the apartment. Clothes in a plastic bag, and shower immediately. Obviously I handle everything I am doing outside the first time. LOL with jacket items to wear of the occasions

Who knew allergies could be this much work!!
