Allergies\n\nI have a son who is allergic to everything. He was about 8 months old when I started with Melaleuca. One by one I slowly tested each product. Melaleuca is the one thing I can use on him that works wonders! We use to buy 2-3 different types of laudry detergent because of allergies in my household. Now, it's only Mela Power. Renew Bath Oil and Renew Intensive Skin Therapy are awesome for any skin problems and I swear by that!  \nI know several people who have gotten off of their allergy medicine as well as inhalers after switching to Melaleuca. The first step is to get all of the harsh chemicals/toxins out of your home. Then get on the Daily for Life Pack and saturate with the Provex (1capsule/25 lbs per day for 2 weeks) Provex is a powerful antioxidant and is a natural anti-inflammitory and anti-histamine! It works wonderfully for allergies and asthma without the side effects of prescription medications! \nthat he got infections on his legs. The allergist that I went to put him on heavy cortisone, if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have done it. That did clear him up but then it came back. Here's the great part.... within two weeks of TOTALLY converting our home to Melaleuca products, he was a different child. Attitude, everything. I am convinced that he felt miserable and (acted miserable) because of the allergies. Hallelujah!!!! The other story is about me, I was always allergic to Easter lilies, I have been taking ProvexCV and went in to the local store, saw the lilies and thought to myself, oh great here goes, my head is going to BLOW up. It didn't. I went over and sniffed, and then took in a big sniff and no blow up, and for any doubters, no the store hadn't pulled the centers out of the lilies! Hope these stories help, any questions, contact me at \nCV and I noticed my summer allergies were not as bad as they use to be... so it helped me too...

"red eye" can be \na)viral- which is self limiting often gone in 2 weeks \nb) bacterial - you will have alot of discharge and mucus, maybe painful\nc) environmental as the other person described \nd) allergy - you will feel a distinct itch \ne) dry eye - which can be associated with tearing and or burning\n\nusing artificial tears works well but you have to use them often, up to 4-5 X a day.  Systane (OTC at any drug store) only has to be use 2X or more per day for an appropriate dose.  \nnote: if you do have dry eye with a dry mouth as well as vaginal dryness then get checked for sjogrens syndrome.  dry eye can also be associated with arthritis and other auto immune diseases.\n\nlast things to consider if you do have dry eyes:\n- increase your omega 3 (ie fish oil, flax seed oil) to increase tear production\n-warm compresses and lid scrubs can allow the natural oils in your eyelids to coat your tears better\n-if all else fails there is Restasis which is a prescription drug.  it can take upto 6mo to take affect.\n\nof course consult your MD or optometrist for the appropriate course for you. \n\nhope this was helpful.

If you are getting up too often you should mention this to your doctor and she/he may suggest urine and blood workups. Sometimes this is a symptom of an illness such as diabetes.

I would beware of non-natural remedies like chloral hydrate, Nembutal, etc.\n\nDo you get enough exercise?  When people work hard enough, they usually have no problem sleeping.  If your work is mostly mental, then you need to incorporate some prolonged physical activity into your daily routine.\n\nDo not drink any coffee or tea for three hours prior to bedtime.  Do not drink warm milk as some suggest.\n\nA glass of water at bedtime is helpful in many ways.\n\nYou can also look up insomnia on http://www.webmd.com\n\nI have allergies (ultra-severe).  I take benadryl, an antihistamine.  This is not natural either, but it has been used many, many years without obnoxious, toxic effects.\n\nIt is the ingredient in some mild OTC sleeping remedies, but do not buy them, you will pay more for the same ingredient you can get for less at the dollar store.\n\nJust look in the allergy med section, you can get 24 pills of 25 mgm each for a dollar.  Benadryl soothes bad coughing that will keep you up all night, also makes most people drowsy, very easy to fall asleep with inactivity.\n\nThis dose would not put me to sleep as I have had to use this for years, but it should do the trick for you.\n\nAnd you don't have to worry about it being so strong you will burn to death in a fire, or not hear someone breaking your door down &c.\n\nIf you chew it (transiently nasty) and swig it down with Ginger Ale it will work faster.  Do this about 15--20 minutes before bed.  But not earlier.\n\nIt is called diphenhydramine (the generic name), look for that rather than the brand name.  Do not take more than two or you will really get zonked out.\n\nThere are some herbal remedies to try, but avoid mixing these with other methods.  See what webmd says.

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection to me, not the flu.  If you ever had the flu, you'd be too weak to write this much on the computer, trust me.  Of course you want to up your fluids with water and juices.  Lay off of the carbonated drinks because they will irritate your bladder and just cause more dehydration.  Hot tea or broth (chicken) will soothe the sore throat; gargelling with warm salt water (1tsp. per cup) for a few minutes will also comfort the throat; take 2-3 aspirin with food (crackers) it will reduce the inflammation/pain and fever.  As for the cough, you can take cough meds if you have them, or honey will help too.  If you're running your heater in your home, it will dry out your bronchi and cause a dry cough.   If you have a vaporizer use it, if not, just put out a pan of water close to your bed to keep the air moist (you can take a good hot shower and that will help also).  Keep warm, get alot of rest and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in the am.  If you're having yellow/green mucous coming up, definitely see a doc.  If not, it will pass in a few days.  Godloveya.

I have the same problem - No one has mentioned "environment" (that I saw?) - It's now Spring - What kind of climate do you live in? I'm in CO - and the Humidity today was 8% (Yes, EIGHT percent) - but "cold" so the heater was blasting all night ... so dry air effects me as well as lack of moisture that comes with higher humidity...\n\nOption #2) - Do you take Tylenol PM (or any antihistamines?) - For whatever reasons - these too dry out my eyes (well, B/C they're a type of antihistamine)\n\nOption #3) - People have already mentioned allergies... and alcohol - May wanna check with an allergist about down pillows, or Spring hay fever - or even "mold" if you are in a northern climate, and the windows are sealed - I found my "allergies" were worse in the winter than summer, and never understood this since all plants/trees/weeds and such are "dead" (dormant) - well, turns out Mold in the air ducts was the cause... \n\nIf you go to a Doc, and tell him about using "Clear Eyes" or "Visine" - those too have a "rebound effect" and he'll (she'll) encourage you to go to "natural tears" for the others' can CAUSE red eyes after long term use... But I too still use them, cuz "natural tears" don't remove the red - and don't wanna look hung over at work - When I'm NOT! LOL \n\nCheers and good luck!

Cucumbers on the eyes, or a wet teabag. Use Visine as well to get rid of the redness.\n\nPS: I hope you will be ok. Sorry for whatever happened to you.

Get extra rest. Bed rest can help you feel better. It will also help you avoid spreading the virus to others. \nDrink plenty of fluids to replace those lost from fever. Fluids also ease a scratchy throat and keep nasal mucus thin. Hot tea with lemon, water, fruit juice, and soup are all good choices. \nIf fever is uncomfortable, take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to lower it. You may also sponge your body with lukewarm water to reduce fever. Do not use cold water or ice. Lowering the fever will not make your symptoms go away faster, but it may make you more comfortable. \nTo relieve body aches and headache, take aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Do not take aspirin if you are younger than 20 unless your doctor tells you to do so. Also, aspirin and ibuprofen can upset your stomach, while acetaminophen does not. \nTry a decongestant or nasal spray if your main symptom is a stuffy nose. Look for a single-ingredient decongestant that contains phenylephrine. If nasal drainage is thick, a decongestant that contains guaifenesin may help keep it thin and draining. Do not use medicated nasal sprays or drops more often than directed and not for longer than 3 days. \nBreathe moist air from a hot shower or from a sink filled with hot water to help clear a stuffy nose. \nAvoid antihistamines. They do not treat flu symptoms and may make nasal drainage thicker. \nIf the skin around your nose and lips becomes sore from repeated rubbing with tissues, apply a bit of petroleum jelly to the area. Using disposable tissues that contain lotion also may help. \nUse cough drops or plain, hard candy to help ease coughing. \nTake a nonprescription cough medicine that contains dextromethorphan if you develop a dry, hacking cough. Some products contain a high percentage of alcohol. Use them with caution. \nElevate your head at night with an extra pillow if coughing keeps you awake. \nAvoid smoking and breathing secondhand smoke. This is good advice any time, but it is especially important when you have a respiratory infection like a cold or the flu.

Do your eyes only get watery when you wake up?  You could be responding to dry air or it's possible that you have an allergy.  You may want to see your eye doctor to see what he/she recommends.  If it's an allergy, you may need some special eyedrops to help alleviate the symptoms.

What symptoms do you have?  If your nose is running all the time, try some antihistimes, if stuffed, decongestants.  If you have green or yellow discharge you need an antibiotic, call the dr definitely.\n\nIf it's allergy or just weather sinus, you can try different things.  Zicam is a natural zinc product you can get in Walmart or drug stores that helps open up and keep open sinus passages.  Cold-eeze brand zinc is good too.  Silver water is very good along with saline sprays to prevent stuffiness and keep sinus infections at bay.  Products like Vicks, that have menthol, even the cough drops are good for the nose and throat as well.  Robitussin makes a great light menthol orange vitamin C cough drop that give you your daily dose and helps sinus too.  I use those.  For eyedrops, if your eyes bother you with sinus too, try the "tears" formula's, because those help moisturize the eyes and flush out pollens.  Air filters help too especially if they have hepa filters, so do air conditioners.  If it's allergy related, you can also keep your mattress covered in plastic and use special hypoallergenic pillow cases.  Wash all bedding in hot water, take a shower before bed as that washes off pollens.  Also, vacuum you mattress, you'd be surprized at all the dirt and dust that comes out, do that before you seal it.  Good luck!\n\nPS I forgot, you can get a netti pot or nebulizer to use to flush the sinus cavities, netti pots cost about $8.00, Walmart and drug stores sell them.  Nebulizers cost more about $30.00, I use silver water in mine.

Morning allergies.  You've got too much dust/allergens where you sleep.  Clean it up well & get a good air cleaner.  It'll make mornings easier for you to cope.

You can go to an allergist, referred by your primary care physician if your insurance allows.  They will subject you to hundreds of dollars worth of tests and come up with a list of things that you are allergic to.\n\nI have been battling allergies for years, was on a prescription drug for 3 years until the drug made me sick.  I use good old fashioned, over the counter, sudafed (store brand).  If my eyes start itching I'll also take benadryl before bed.\n\nYou might want to try some basic over the counter stuff before subjecting yourself to the doctors tortures, errr tests.
