#Allergy Symptoms

[violetjedisylveon]

Your body and brain are supposed to work together to create a functioning being.

But my body didn't get that message and gives my brain shit whenever it wants.

Yes I'm back on my bs of complaining about my health issues online.

I was almost at maintenance for allergy shots but my body said fuck you, horrible allergy attack + other issues, so I'm pissed.

Today's been shitty.

TELL ME FUCKING WHY I told my mom like 4+ months ago "oh yeah I think I'm allergic to cats" (I live with a cat half the time) and she didn't believe me, and then today I had what I can ONLY describe as an allergic reaction(?) after being around my incredibly clingy cat for several hours and not having taken allergy meds for the first time in a while (context- I just got my wisdom teeth removed and haven't been taking allergy meds for the past 5 days, my allergies have been getting worse by the day and I think they finially wore off completely). I have had pretty intense eye irritation after petting my cat then touching my eyes for a while, which is where the allergy hunch came from. Today, I had one of the worst irritations I've ever had, itchy skin (face, arms etc), and nonstop sneezing and runny nose. I've used eye drops twice, washed my hands idk how many times, took a shower, and tried to stay away from my cat and nothing worked completely, so I finially caved and took my meds. GUESS FUCKING WHAT. The symptoms I've been dealing with for like 4-5 hours went away within 15 minutes :) (<<passive aggressive smiley btw)

I've also noticed that any sites where my cat scratches me gets really puffed up and pink, which is most likely an allergy symptom too :)

The only symptoms that I dont have are trouble breathing and hives :P (I'm having SUCH a great time)

Idk what she thought I was allergic to before? I've been taking allergy meds for at least 2 years but I recently realized that I dont know what I'm reacting to. I just figured out that I probably inherited some milder versions of my dad's allergies which include animals with fur, grass, and pollen 👍

[primrosebitch]

my allergist highly suspects i have a condition called mcas (mast cell activation syndrome) and i agree with her cause the symptoms match and antihistamines (which is commonly used to treat mcas) work to lessen the frequency and severity of my symptoms, the reason i don't have a diagnosis of it though is because not only is it extremely difficult to definitively diagnose but a significant number of the symptoms do also overlap with a few of my other conditions (which funnily the conditions i have that overlap with mcas are nearly all also comorbidities with mcas)

And dear god is mcas annoying, if you haven't heard of it basically when you have mcas your body just randomly decides to have an allergic reaction to whatever the fuck it wants with no consistency. I am lucky enough to have it somewhat mildly (though it can and likely will get worse over time) but some people who have mcas can get anaphylaxis because of it, which is fucking terrifying, like nearly anything has a possibility of triggering anaphylaxis and you have no way to know what

anyway some of my mcas symptoms include being itchy nearly all of the time, brittle nail and longitudinal ridging on my nails (which i had no idea was abnormal till i looked it up cause i didn't know what it meant), chronic congestion, tinnitus, chronic build up of fluid in my ears, throat irritation, chronic post nasal drip, frequent headaches, tics, difficulty recovering from infection (it usually takes me around 2 weeks to recover from a minor virus but on one memorable occasion i was sick for 3 entire months), tremors, i get eye irritation that feels basically identical to when you cut onions, and the only cool symptom dermatographia aka skin writing

Now of course those are only the symptoms i get that aren't also symptoms of my other conditions, i could go on forever if we include the symptoms that overlap

Woke up with a cold!

So I'm assuming that it started yesterday afternoon. I started having a slight sore throat around 4pm and it started getting worse throughout the night. so, I go to bed thinking maybe it's just allergies. then I wake up this morning feeling congested realizing that these were not my usual allergy symptoms. My allergy symptoms usually are not this bad. that's when I realized it was an actual cold... Hopefully it's just a 24-hour bug. it looks like I'm going to have to quarantine myself for the next 48-hours to see if My symptoms get better or worse.

Navigating Allergies in the Monsoon Season: Tips for a Healthier You

The monsoon season, with its refreshing rains and cool breezes, often brings a welcome respite from the scorching summer heat. However, for many, this season also ushers in many allergies that can dampen the enjoyment of the rains. Allergies during the monsoon are a common issue, triggered by increased humidity, mold growth, and a surge in pollen levels. Understanding these triggers and learning how to manage them can help you stay healthy and enjoy the rainy season to its fullest.

Common Triggers of Monsoon Allergies

Increased Humidity: The high moisture content in the air during the monsoon season creates an ideal environment for dust mites and mold spores to thrive. These allergens can cause respiratory issues, skin rashes, and other allergic reactions.

Mold and Mildew: Damp conditions in homes and other environments encourage the growth of mold and mildew, which release spores into the air. Inhalation of these spores can lead to nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, and in severe cases, asthma attacks.

Pollen: Contrary to popular belief, pollen is not just a springtime issue. Certain plants release pollen during the monsoon season, which can exacerbate allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Dust Mites: These tiny creatures thrive in humid conditions and are commonly found in bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets. Dust mite allergies can cause sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and even eczema.

Insect Bites: Increased insect activity during the monsoon season can lead to bites and stings, causing allergic reactions in some people. Mosquitoes are more prevalent and can cause not only allergic reactions but also transmit diseases.

Symptoms of Monsoon Allergies

Common symptoms of monsoon allergies include:

Sneezing

Runny or stuffy nose

Itchy or watery eyes

Coughing

Wheezing or shortness of breath

Skin rashes or hives

In more severe cases, individuals may experience asthma attacks or chronic sinusitis, requiring medical intervention.

Managing Monsoon Allergies

While it is challenging to completely avoid allergens during the monsoon season, there are several strategies you can employ to manage and reduce the impact of allergies:

Keep Your Home Dry: Ensure that your home remains dry and well-ventilated. Use dehumidifiers to reduce indoor humidity levels and fix any leaks promptly to prevent mold growth.

Clean Regularly: Regular cleaning can help reduce dust mites and mold. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to trap allergens effectively. Wash bedding in hot water and dry it thoroughly to kill dust mites.

Avoid Outdoor Activities: Limit outdoor activities, especially in the early morning when pollen levels are at their highest. If you need to go outside, consider wearing a mask to reduce inhalation of allergens.

Use Air Purifiers: Air purifiers with HEPA filters can help remove airborne allergens from your indoor environment, providing relief from respiratory symptoms.

Natural Remedies: Some people find relief through natural remedies such as saline nasal rinses, steam inhalation, and consuming local honey, which may help build immunity to local pollen.

Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps thin mucus and keeps your respiratory system functioning optimally, reducing the severity of allergy symptoms.

Boost Immunity: A strong immune system can help mitigate the impact of allergens. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and other immune-boosting foods, and ensure you get enough rest and exercise.

When to See a Doctor

If your allergy symptoms persist despite taking preventive measures, or if you experience severe reactions such as difficulty breathing, it is important to take an allergy test after consulting a doctor. An allergist may recommend different allergy tests to identify specific allergens and recommend appropriate treatments.

Conclusion

Allergies during the monsoon season can be a significant inconvenience, but with the right strategies, you can manage and reduce their impact. By keeping your environment clean and dry, avoiding common allergens, and taking care of your health, you can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the rainy season without the discomfort of allergies. Stay proactive, stay informed, and embrace the monsoon with confidence.

Different Allergy Management

Allergies are increasingly common and can range from inconvenient to life-threatening. Traditional allergy management often involves taking antihistamines or using an inhaler, but there are alternative methods that have gained popularity in recent years. These methods include acupuncture, herbal remedies, and dietary changes. In this blog post, we will explore these different allergy management techniques and weigh their effectiveness. Whether you are tired of relying on medication or want to explore holistic options, this post will provide valuable insights into managing your allergies.

Understanding Allergies

Understanding allergies is crucial for individuals who suffer from allergies on a daily basis. Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a harmless substance as if it were dangerous. This can cause symptoms such as sneezing, itching, hives, and even anaphylaxis.Common allergic reactions can range from mild to life-threatening. Pollen allergies, food allergies, inhalant allergies, and medication allergies are among the most common types. Some people may also experience allergies to latex or insect venom.To handle allergies, it's important to identify triggers and avoid them, as well as considering antihistamines, corticosteroids, and other treatments under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Managing Allergies

If you suffer from allergies, it's important to work with your doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your medical history, allergy test results, and symptom severity. The plan may include avoiding allergens, taking medications, and/or receiving immunotherapy.

1. Allergen avoidance

When it comes to managing allergies, avoiding allergens is key. Even though it may not always be possible to completely avoid an allergen, there are steps that can be taken to decrease exposure. For instance, special dust-proof covers can be put on pillows, mattresses, and box springs to limit contact with dust mites. Furthermore, washing bedding frequently with hot water and avoiding stuffed animals in the bedroom can also help. Grasses, trees, and weeds produce pollen that cause seasonal allergies, so it is important to stay indoors on high pollen count days and keep windows closed. Finally, individuals should work with their doctor to create an allergy management plan and always carry medication in the event of an allergy attack.

2. Medications for Allergy Symptoms

Allergy medications can come in various forms such as pills, liquids, inhalers, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams, and shots. There are over-the-counter options as well as prescriptions, depending on the severity of the allergy symptoms. Antihistamines are commonly used to block histamine, which causes allergic reactions. Decongestants provide temporary relief for nasal and sinus congestion, but they are not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, or hyperthyroidism. Corticosteroids are used to suppress allergy-related inflammation and relieve symptoms such as stuffiness, runny nose, and sneezing. It is important to be aware of the side effects associated with allergy medications and consult with a physician before use.

3. Immunotherapy for Allergies

Immunotherapy is a preventive treatment for allergic reactions that involves gradually increasing doses of the substance or allergen to which the person is allergic. It helps to desensitize the immune system to the substance, probably by causing the production of a "blocking" and "tolerizing" antibody response. Skin or sometimes blood tests are performed to confirm the specific allergens. Allergy shots are tailored to the patient and could be accelerated or slowed down based on how the patient tolerates them. It is a cost-effective and beneficial treatment approach for many people with allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, conjunctivitis, or stinging insect allergy. Allergy shots work like a vaccine, leading to lasting relief of allergy symptoms even after treatment is stopped. If allergy shots are successful, maintenance treatment is generally continued for three to five years.

If you suffer from allergies, it's important to work with your healthcare provider to develop a treatment plan that's tailored to your unique needs. Based on your medical history and the results of allergy tests, your provider may recommend avoiding allergens, taking medications, or undergoing immunotherapy. By following a comprehensive treatment plan, you can manage your symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life.
