Yes to both. Friday was the first time I ate out since cutting the corn and egg whites out of my diet, and even though I was careful, I'm guessing something got through.

Although I'm not feeling as bad as I was yesterday, I'm feeling normal, which still isn't that good. I'm hoping the allergy shots and new diet will start kicking in soon.

That's the problem, I really don't know how long I've had them, I just found out thats the reason I've been feeling bad. But, some of the typical symptoms I've had since a kid, so I assume I've had them for a while.

Nope, I'm also allergic to kentucky bluegrass, mold, dust mites, maple, and oak. But, the allergy shot is supposed to help me with those.

There's 2 ways to test, a blood test and a skin test. The blood test is more expensive, but since it appears one of the allergens can break me out, it would affect the other results on the skin test, so they had to do a blood test. Insurance is taking care of it anyway.

Yeah, they've gotten much worse. I started feeling dizzy, so I finally went to see a doctor about it.

I hope so. I'm usually one of those people who never gets sick, so this is all new to me.

Usually yes, but it doesn't help much anymore.

At this point, I'm only supposed to use that stuff as needed until the shot kicks in.

They said it'll take about 6 weeks.

Some of them, yes, it would. I'd love to be able to move to the desert.

I have allergies too, were you better when on vacation? I seem to be better in the really humid climates. I am worse in the dry areas, maybe because the allergens are more airborne?

I think it depends what you're allergic to. I was so much better on vacation. But I probably live in the worst place possible with the allergies I have. Corn allergies in Indiana? How have I not died years ago?!

yes it is very dry here, were are into about 7 years of drought conditions. Lakes are down by like 40%, stock pond are mostly dry. Pine is the worst allergy I have, and guess what is right in my yard? I have like 7 trees within 25 feet of my house.

Im sorry to hear you both have such allergy problems
