If your body isn't healthy it is not working well and you know it's allergies and it cn happen when you sneeze and also it's a very common thing for people like us and also we might know that."

You're not born with allergies. YOu can develop one to anything at anytime in your life. That really is annoying, isn't it? I don't think anyone can tell you why. I have my own theory. I think maybe you had some bad milk (may have had some thing in it like a bacteria or chemical) that kicked up your immune system. And so now, even when you drink any milk with nothing bad in it, your body sees that milk as the enemy and wants to get it out of your body fast. What you could try doing is not drinking milk for a time period say three months and then introduce it slowly using organic milk. Otherwise, there's always Lactaid. Some people drink a lot of soy milk. But the newest research says you have to watch that as it can cause problems with thyroid.

Sheesh! We'll ignore the fact that you can't spell and your grammar is atrocious. It seems some people are also addicted to putting things in the wrong category, and you appear to be afflicted with that addiction. \nThe reason people are addicted to anything, from smoking and drinking to eating peanut butter, is that when they do so the pleasure center of their brain produces endorphins, which makes them feel good. In an effort to get more of these endorphins, they repeat the action that produced the salubrious result in the first place.

It isn't really possible to have a true allergy to those things because they are just hormones...your body already has these hormones.  What sounds like might be happening is when you have an increased level of hormones (when you took depo, bc pills and had your baby) your body reacted to it by getting hives.  I might go see an endocrinologist, which is a doctor that specializes in hormones.  You could go see an allergist too.

Well yeah, you can be allergic to pretty much anything. I have a close friend allergic to orange anything. You should have your allergies checked to be safe.

It definitely sounds like your allergies are affecting your eyes.  You should talk to your eye doctor about your options (and to make sure that there really is a link between your allergies and your eye problems).  Your eye doctor can recommend an eye drop (most likely over-the-counter) that will work the best for your particular situation.

yes...you can be addicted to pretty much anything.  Drugs, alcohol, sex, food, etc.\n\nTYPES OF ADDICTION--\n\n\nAddiction reaches beyond alcohol and drugs. Many people suffer from all sorts of different addictions. Gambling, eating, shopping, sex, internet, work, video games, etc can all be just as addictive in many cases just as destructive to a person. Those behaviors may affect the person differently, but they can be just as devastating as substance dependence. The 12 step program, which was originally devised for overcoming alcoholism, has now been transformed into well over 200 different addiction support groups. Always remember too much of a good thing can hurt you.

Exercise is great. I went through a period of making myself not having any expectations of anything just so I couldn't be disappointed with anything. Also not everything in life suits us, just like people have nut allergies, they stop having nuts. If someone or something upsets you lay off them for a while. keep wellx

Gambling, drugs and sex are more likely to be addictions, in which case you need to an addictions councilor. Eating can be a compulsion. All of these behaviors are usually the result of an anxiety problem, in which case there are thousands of highly successful treatments, ranging from therapy to medications. Discuss your symptoms and treatment options with your doctor.

I read that there is a medication in the works to work on the addictive part of the brain. Right now there isn't a cure.  You can stop doing the addictive activity but it's not a cure, just restraint.  Lot's of times it turns into changing the addiction to something else. I quit drinking and now I eat too much candy even though I wasn't much of a candy person before. I also buy more scratch tickets.

allergies have nothing to do with skin and oils in your skin.That's another problem.See a dermatologist

I'm addicted too. You can try to slowly cut back on your intake. Maybe that will help. That's what I've been trying to do but I tend to revert back to drinking it all day long.

Depends on how bad your problem is, and your family genetics. Alcoholism runs through peoples genetics causing some people to be more prone to having a drinking problem. Sometimes the best thing to do is to find a therapist or some other outlet to help you out. I don't like A.A. though, they are too spiritual and in essence a money scam for a couple companies isnce they push books from one publishing company so much to people who don't have the mental will power to realize they don't need the books or the spirituality that ocmes with it, also A.A. becomes a factor to make people too co-dependant on the group. So I suggest seeing a regular therapist to increase your likelihood of not giving into temptation for drinks.

well, it's possible to be allergic to anything.... but, if you're getting a strange rash in that area, I would suspect something other than a sperm allergy.

Maybe you are allergic to the ingredients in alcohol or it could be that your body is holding in water due to the alcohol.
