[QUOTE="Star*, post: 273016, member: 4964"] I am an allergy kid. I should have been put in a bubble and moved to Arizona - but I stayed in a totally stripped down room for years and lived in Ohio, took shots and now today I'm able to breathe. I tested positive for over 300 things out of 350 - the test was grueling and I had the greenie-meanies a LOT. Allergies make you irritable to say the least. I took shots every day for 10 years and felt so bad for my Mom after a while it took it's toll on her - but she was willing to be a Warrior Mom then so I could breathe today. (thanks Mom) Pollen this year has been terrible - I've tried every over the counter and popular prescription medication - and nothing works. Clarinex D is pretty powerful anti hist/decongestant - but makes me speedy. So I stopped taking it - don't like the gitters. I want to try that new gel that you put at the bottom of your nostrils - I figure it can't hurt. There's a ton of things you can do with an allergy kid to help the post nasal drip. WE like to sleep with humidifiers in our room. We like moist nasal passages if they are dry and you can accomplish that with a little KY jelly on a Qtip in the nasal cavity (both sides). WE like our beds propped up (put a couple pillows under his mattress to make his head elevated. Make sure that his pillow isn't goose feathers or down. ONLY foam rubber pillow. He may be aggrivated by dust - so clear out his room of everything BUT bare floor, bed and clothes. Toys like stuffed animals (need to go) and keep one but wash often. Fans tend to dry out of sinuses - not a huge fan of ceiling fans and desk top or floor fans - blow MORE dust. His room at a minimum should have NO carpet, curtains (if washed once a week) and mini blinds are HUGE dust collectors - blinds are better. Air conditioners are a life saver - and no perfumes or carpet sprinkles or any other sprays to aggrivate allergies. Soap and washing clothes can also be a HUGE factor unless you are washing/drying in CHeer or tide FREE - do perfumes or dyes. Bathroom soaps should be like neutrogena or Ivory the same as shampoo - use nutrogena. Theres a ton of stuff that he is going to come up against......and there are a lot of things you can do in your house to help. FOr me - animals, especially cats were a HUGE no no - the dander was just too much and made myeyes look like bowls of jelly - now I have a cat. My Mom washed down my room once a week with a mild solution of bleach and water to make sure that there was no dust or mildew spores - my mattress was wrapped in plastic and so was my foam pillow. I had blinds and a wooden floor - a dresser and some clothes in the closet. THAT was it. I'm sure this is why my sisters house is now cluttered - lol and why I'm still anal and organized. haha. As far as J being upset about manster - -two words come to mind - move out. ear plugs. Both would keep him from hearing coughing and snot inhalation. Hugs TISSUES - Star [/QUOTE]
