    Default Do you frequently suffer from allergies?

    Because I do In fact, according to the allergist, I am allergic to "all trees, grasses, weeds, and molds". All of them.

    Actual picture of me on a normal day, trying to keep my runny nose at bay:

    Some point a few years ago something happened with the cigarettes my brother and sister were smoking. Right after our house fire, all the places we went, my nose was going insane. Even after we moved back into our old house I was in misery. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to find ways around that crap, since you're not allergic to smoke or cigarettes. It's an "allergy-like" reaction. Which means anti-histamines don't work. So I ended up with all kinds homeopathic nasal sprays and nasal cleansers and whatnot. And what ended up working was this really badass humidifier and vaporizer combination. We put so much moisture in the air, nothing allergy-inducing had much of an effect on me anymore. I mean, my sinuses still hate me, but I'm much better

    And of course once I moved back home and my girlfriend moved she wanted a cat. Which is legitimately my worst allergy. Fortunately all the moisture in the air tends to help with that. Though I do have to keep up on keeping water in the tanks and stuff. And have to take at least some kind of anti-histamine each day. But it's not so bad. We have an awesome cat so its kinda worth it. Though frequently she likes to sleep on my chest at night, or take a nap on my lap. And that really wrecks most of my day, and sometimes I have to take a benadryl or two, since they're the most potent OTC antihistamine. But yeah. It's a living

    I think I may be slightly allergic to cats but otherwise no. And I love my kitty too much for it to make a difference. Something does give me a stuffed nose 90% of the time year round. but it could just be dry air sorta thing.

    Occasionally, but only because I take Claritin and largely stay away from the things I'm allergic to. All my life I've been allergic to dogs, cats, fur, dust, tobacco smoke, paint fumes, milk, eggs, cockroaches, and I feel like I'm forgetting something but don't know what. I'm starting to question some of these because rather recently I had milk and been eating cheese for most of my life with no problems. Recently had eggs too and nothing.

    All the time growing up my parents didn't know what the smurf they were going to do if something happened to them because all our relatives either smoke or have pets, but thankfully nothing ever happened.

    Not frequently, no. I am affected by seasonal allergies - which I never had until I moved to Arizona - but that's as bad as it gets.

    I do feel like I'm kind of lucky because I'm not allergic to any animals.

    Just, you know, everything else...
