A breeder told me that for people with allergies, having a short haired chuchuaa for some unknown reason relieves the allergy symptoms. I have some kind of pollen, tree, dust allergies going on now. I am wondering if anyone who has these types of allergies has a chuchuaa, and has it helped? Has anyone heard this before now?

Do you refer to the psychological factor?\nDo you want to say that some persons have taken a dog and they have relieved their allergy symptoms because they were just feeling better, more relaxed?\nIf you want to say this, that I can understand, yes, according my opinion can happen what you say.\nBut if you are allergic to pollen, as you say, you have to remember that all pets carry a small amount of allergens and they can BE ALSO CARRIERS OF ALLERGENS FROM OUTSIDE and each one of them may carry different allergic responses.\nBathing your dog frequently will probably harm the hydrolipidic equilibrium of their skin, and will not deprive them from all the known allergens. Maybe it will help in depriving him from some allergens in which you are allergic, but are you sure that you will wash out the allergens that are causing TO YOU the allergy?\nLet's take another consideration.\nHave you ever tried to go to a specialist and discuss with him about a desensibilisation treatment?\nThis is possible in our era. You will see after a successful implementation of the therapy, how much your quality of life will be improved!\n\nKaterina\n\n\nI CAME BACK TO CHECK IF YOU HAD SENT SOMETHING MORE, BUT I DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT ALL. IS IT EVERYTHING OK?

Good, I see you have been taking him to a Doctor, which would be my first answer.\n\nAnd a second opinion may be in order, has he seen a allergy specialist?\n\nAlso, yes, anti biotics can lose their effectiveness.  And there may be something in the environment that he is particularly sensitive too.\n\nSo book an appointment with an allergist first!! And then take necessary steps to "clean" the environment.  You can't get rid of it if you don't know what it is, which is why I suggest the Doctor FIRST.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPeace.

I usually get it every year.  I'm trying to go without this year.  There hasn't been any noticable side affects.  It takes 24-48 hours to work.  It lasts the entire season.  There's a list of warnings inside the package.  Go to the chemist and ask to see the lable or you can possibly google it if you know the name of it.  The one I get is called Kenalog(check spelling).\nAlso, it isn't an antihistamine, it is a steroid.  I believe it acts to supress the immune system.

I will agree with the ginger, in any form.  \nGinger tea, ginger ale, ginger beer, candied ginger, gingersnaps - as long as it has ginger in it, it will help.\n\nI'm also having problems with this.  Here are some of the avenues I've pursued.\n\nSleep - I have definitely noticed that when I don't get enough sleep that the nausea is worse.  (Unfortunately, that doesn't keep me from staying up too late)\n\nFood allergies - My mom is allergic to peanuts and if she eats just a few (or some peanut oil) accidentally it will make her nauseous.  You can do a self-test to determine if you are allergic to a food.  What you do is eliminate one type of food for a week and see if it helps, then try another food.  Given the problem you are having, it's best to start with whatever you eat the most of, probably wheat products.  This is a pain but it can work well.  (I should do this, but the most common food I eat is chocolate.  Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!)\n\nWhat my doctor is calling insulin something or other; basically it sounds like hypoglycemia or pre-diabetes, but it isn't showing up in the blood tests.  I am trying to take the 5 light meals a day route for this.  It helps as long as I have access to something besides junk food.\n\nGood luck - I hope you find a solution.

I live in northeast Alabama and I have bad seasonal allergies and right now I am doing the best I've done all year. I don't know what could be blooming right now over there I think that most everything is dead now. I wonder if your having indoor allergy problems. It could be mold.

Flax seed helps something, but i am not sure what. My brother has the allergies real bad too, and he is into all that "natural" stuff... I'll ask him and have the answer edited into my post.\n\nIn the mean time, Walmart has the generic Benedryl. 100 pills for less then $4.00 a bottle. It might help...\n\nI'll re-post again soon.\n\nEDIT**********\n\nYep. They are right. Local honey. It will help to aclimate you to the pollen around you. It HAS to be local honey. You should be able to find some at your local grocer, farmer's market, or flea market.\n\nGood luck.

Sorry, but it sounds like he has allergic reactions to these two food groups.  Only treatment is avoidance.  Given his severe symptoms, he should be motivated to do so!

Hi Vicki,  I found out a year ago that I was a celiac, now I am feeling so much better, finally found out whats wrong with me. I have had to change a lot of things in my life but its worth it, I didn't have any rashes, mainly a permanent stomach ache and aching joints, lethargy and moodiness.  I have found replacement recipes for all my favourite glutenous recipes. I am also a vegetarian so it makes it difficult to eat out, except at various India, or Thai restaurants.  So now I cook so much more than before, wheat is just about in everything and I have been caught a few times eating the stuff and suffering afterwards. If you would like exchange recipes feel free to email me. And I hope you feel better soon :0)

Well, let me tell you what I know about asthma.\n\nWhat causes it?  Allergies can trigger it...Many triggers include, dust, dander from animals, pollen, leaf mold, dust mites and I read that roach pooh can trigger it. (UGH)\n\nMy youngest daughter had asthma and outgrew by age 5.\n\nMy oldest daughter began experiencing symptoms when she was eleven. (shortness of breath and wheezing, especially upon exertion) She is 31 years old now and has lots of problems with it. She has been hospitalized several times in the last few years with it. She uses a puffer. Her Dr prescribed her meds for a nebulizer. For her birthday --I bought her a nebulizer.\n\nSeveral of my grandchildren had problems with wheezing when they were infants.\n\nI didn't experience problems with shortness of breath and wheezing until I quit smoking about 6 years ago. I smoked for over thirty years. I have COPD but I also have asthma. \nWith the asthma I experience shortness of breath. Even getting ready to go to work can leave me breathless, at times. When I have overexerted myself, I wheeze. I experience thses symptoms every day.\n\nPeople who bath in perfume or aftershave really tear my lungs up. I get wheezy after a few minutes of inhaling the mess.\n\nWhen the wind blows, dust and allergens send my lungs into a tail spin. Sometimes extremes in temperature affect me too.\n\nI am on  Zyrtec (for allergies), Spiriva (a steroid dry powder inhaler), Advair (another dry powder steroid inhaler), Prednisone (a steroid) and I also have a nebulizer to use when I am having a really rough time.\n\nSometimes emotions and stress can affect Asthma.\n\nThey use to say that asthma wasn't that serious but now they know different. A person can die with a serious attack. \n\nIf you suspect that you, or any person in your family has asthma, Go to a Dr. Only your GP or a pulmonologist can gauge the seriousness of your condition and prescribe medications to alleviate your symptoms and make life a bit easier for you.\n\nTake Care,\n~Linda~

Several members of my family can have anaphylactic reactions to certain foods and medications containing corn.  I have driven myself to the doctors with my throat swelling.  My mother has landed in the emergency room more than once. All three of my kids have the potential, but avoidance is the key.  We do carry an Epipen.

You might be allergic to the dust or hay, not the horse dander. Or the hay allergy might be worse.\nWhat was different the times you didn't react?\nLess windy? Less dusty? More grass? Leaves falling/ trees blooming? Horses shedding or not?  Shavings bedding or straw bedding? Indoors/outdoors?\n\nMy husband takes Claritin when he comes to see my horse-\nit's a bit drowsy-making for him but lasts a while and works.

I know what you mean about some deodorants aren't working for you. I've actually had allergic reactions to some. I've had good luck with Ban products and, most recently I've fallen in love with the new Dove deodorants, especially the Cool Cucumber & Green Tea...or something like that

I too am allergic to wheat, corn, dairy, cats, house mites and house dust oh and some trees. no grass though. I have been taking Atarax at night, because it makes me sleepy and then Allegra 180 in the am. By the way i was diagnosed with Uticaria, Skin Writing. Get with a good allergist, really push him, make him write a small dose of some form of anti histamine. And, as horrible as it is, keep your child off the foods that make him allergic. But  in saying that, foods may or may not make him itch, it could be just one food. Corn does make me itch. I can sneek a few foods in once in a while. I thank the Atarax and Allegra.\nGood luck.

It sounds like you may have developed an allergy to something.  On the surface you would say to peppermint, but that's to obvious. It may be something to do with the mint but the only way you are going to know is to start with the medical profession who can then give you access to skin tests to see what you are allergic to, if anything.
