I'm surprised he didn't prescribe some type of cortisone to get you through the worse part. My doctor use to give me a shot now and again, but before that, the other doctor I had, before he retired, would give me pills, I would start out taking about six a day for so many days, and keep decreasing them until I was down to one a day for a few days. It did help to get through the worse part. But like I said, once the shots kicked in, where they give you what you are allergic to, to build up your immunity, anything for a quick fix is nice.<br /><br />I don't remember what type nose spray I was using, but I no longer use it. Because, I ended up with thrush in my mouth two different times, finally the second time my doctor said, do you rinse your mouth after using the nose spray, I said no, no one ever told me to. He claimed that could cause the thrush.<br /><br />SO JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, AFTER SPRAYING YOUR NOSE, RINSE YOUR MOUTH AND EVEN GARGLE A LITTLE.<br /><br />Hope you get some relief soon.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-65029949553992051792009-07-29T09:11:52.041-04:002009-07-29T09:11:52.041-04:00Gill, before you plant anymore trees, you might wa...Gill, before you plant anymore trees, you might want to wait until you get tested for allergies. One of our older sons is allergic to many types of trees and has a horrible time in B.C. When he is on the prairies where there are few trees (maples & oak mostly where we are) he isn't near as bad. <br /><br />Just a suggestion.Scrappy quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643346408388508283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-67616019676826139622009-07-29T08:32:11.480-04:002009-07-29T08:32:11.480-04:00You are having a time of it with those allergies. ...You are having a time of it with those allergies.

I hope they dont do a skin prick test as if you have a reaction to one thing, it can make you look like you have reactions to others as your skin becomes hypersensitive after the first...if that makes sense. My son had blood tests for antibodies, but then he can die from his allergies and he has to have antihistamines and sprays daily..summer it is grass, grass pollen, dust mites, and all other pollens, Autumn it is mould spores, fungi spores, leaf litter etc etc. Yes...grass...not just the pollen but the actual grass and then the animal allergies start, and the birds and the list goes on. And on top of that he scored the highest you can for reacting to them all. Constant lol.<br />We always know when he is awake cus the sneezing starts lol.<br />Still, at least if you stop reacting when allergy season stops you will know it is probably pollen. If you dont, I wonder if there is anything in the house that is triggering it as it was so dirty when you moved in.<br />Hope you feel better soon.stitchersanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844767540468536515noreply@blogger.com
