Mistress Tran Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I need your help....what are some of the best ways to deal with horrible allergies. I have all the brand name medicines and they don't help very much....usually they just make me drowsy. There has to be a better way- any good ideas? I am being tortured by mother nature and these horrible allergies! What I have done before or am currently doing: - Neti pot - Allegra, Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec - eye drops Has anyone ever done the allergy shot? Any natural remedies?

EdgarAH Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hey Mistress Tran, I did allergy shots when I was a kid. I have no idea if they actually worked. The Neti pot and Claritin are good ideas, also I have been told and it makes sense, to shower (to rinse off the pollen) before going to bed or even if you've been outside for a while.

MTran (a very upset and sad Mistress) for me, the following works: Mucinex D (over the counter). Doesn't make you drowsy Flonase (prescription nasal spray) and believe it or not......taking wash cloth, soaking it in warm/hot water, and placing it over your face, where your sinuses are. Do this a lot. I am in an ongoing death struggle with this stuff.....and these are the things that work. Also helps , me anyway, when I drink coffee. Must be something to do with the diurertic properties. and the old-time favorite.....aspriin/advil/et all the other over the counter stuff......afrin, bendryl, etc, never worked for me either.

robbie Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Dear Mrs Tran, My sister had hay fever. This is one of the fastest growing 'diseases' in developed countries. And they can find out what kind of pollen you allergic for. My sister had severe problems from April even to September. They found out she was allergic for grass and prescribed Grazax ( Grazax ) . And that really worked. She has not any problems with pollen anymore. So depending on where you are allergic for, something like that can help. I see around me how people are struggling with allergies. I myself do not have problems with allergies. My only allergy I am aware off is Asian Dommes and I don't need a cure for that. Though an Asian Domme nurse can always do some tests! Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress Mina Jung Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Mine are killing me too! I'm taking Allegra which has always helped me in the past, but is not doing much for me this year. I was told it was going to be an extremely bad allergy season this year because of what a wet winter we had. If anyone else has any other remedies, please share....

patches Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Given that my first ever session is this week with you on Thursday, and I suffer in the same way, I feel obliged to share my experience. For about the last 15 years I've suffered from severe allergies, including nasal and chest congestion. I hate taking medicine and always try to go for a natural remedy. Mine were so severe that nothing natural ever worked. There were only two things that ever worked for me, nasonex and asthmanex. They treat nasal and chest congestion very effectively and don't leave you drowsy. They are both prescription and not cheap, but I can now live a normal life. I have no idea what its made from and how it works so well, but desperate times require drastic measures. I hope you find a solution soon, whatever it is.

BibtyBoo Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I don't have allergies myself, but I have heard acupuncture works awesomely. It is also good for quitting smoking, if there are any smokers out there. Good luck getting better! Booboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTran (a very upset and sad Mistress) Very Upset & Sad Mistress Tran, I suffer with hay fever, but only from late August through early October and have tried most of the medicines You have mentioned, including the shots and Flonase, all with varying degrees of effectiveness. Sorry to say, I have yet to discover a sure fire remedy. As Mistress Jung mentioned, because of all the wet weather we have experienced, this is supposed to be an especially bad allergy season, which makes me wonder if that would alter in any way the effectiveness of the particular medication You happen to be taking. I do feel for those individuals who begin to suffer with allergies this early in the year, as it actually takes some enjoyment out of Spring.

Mistress Ree Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Local honey! It has to be relatively local (like NY/NJ states) to work though, so that you are sure you are eating honey made from the pollen of the flowers that are probably giving you the allergies. You can get some at the Greenmarkets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMoon Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I need your help....what are some of the best ways to deal with horrible allergies. I MTran (a very upset and sad Mistress) Try Nasalcrom. It is a nasal spray. You need to use it for a few days before the effect kicks in. No drowsiness at all. Works for all but the most extreme pollen cases. Over the counter. P.S. Check your ventilation at the Fortress. I visited last week and the pollen effect was almost as strong as the punishment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get some at the Greenmarkets! I concur with Ms Ree. I had the worst allergies all of my life until I started drinking Green tea with local honey last winter. I was eating antihistamines all day every day from April until November. Last year I think I took 5 Claritin. This year I have taken none so far. It won't work over night but You should start now. At the very least it will make your throat feel better. TrackWarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being tortured by mother nature and these horrible allergies! What I have done before or am currently doing: - Neti pot - Allegra, Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec - eye drops Has anyone ever done the allergy shot? Any natural remedies? MTran (a very upset and sad Mistress) - Skip Claritin -- it only works with 60% of people - If you have been taking any of the pills consistently, say Zyrtec for a year, switch to something like Allegra. Your body gets used to the same one after a while. - Stick with the Neti Pot (or similar) and saline rinse. It cleans out allergens, and the salt kills certain microbes (a high allergen) Now, here is the biggie... Allergies are an autoimmune disease. Many of which can be treated, or lessened in severity by diet. Sad to say, but most of the American diet causes inflammation and immune problems. If you really what to figure this out, stick to what you are currently doing so that you are only changing some variables... And then change your dietary habits for just 2 weeks. It might seem difficult, but 2 weeks is worth it to find out what the issues may be. For 2 weeks: cut out ALL grains, legumes, dairy, sugar, and nightshade vegetables. Also, avoid refined foods, as they sometimes contain these triggers. Eat a whole foods diet of meat, fish, vegetables. It will be fairly low carb, so if you feel the need for some starch, eat sweet potatoes, and white rice (not brown, it contains gluten). Keep alcohol to a minimum, especially wine. Unfortunately, people love popping pills. But, if we simply ate the right foods, much of the Diseases of Civilizations (DOCs) would disappear (obesity, diabetes, allergies, depression, autism, heart disease, etc.) Good luck.

MTran (a very upset and sad Mistress) Take Zyrtec ,Allegra ,Claritin etc. before you go to bed they work for 24 hrs so you might as well be drowsy when you want to sleep , Nasonex also works well and i agree with coffee or Green Tea with Honey in the Am ,I also use advair once in a while , I might also add that i have a honeywell air purifier in my bedroom .

Mistress Tran Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thank you all for your recommendations!

I will look into the different allergy medicines recommended as I honestly will try anything at this point. Try using a neti pot with a pinch of sea salt in warm water. Do this in the morning and before bed. Maybe during the day if you can. Try alternate nostril breathing techniques (Nadi Shodhana) if you're stuffed up. If you're not familiar with them any yoga website should have instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into the different allergy medicines recommended as I honestly will try anything at this point. While I mentioned the foods to cut out in my response, it is well more complicated than simply what foods are allergies triggers. Yes, some people are 'allergic' to certain foods, so obviously should not eat them. But allergies are an overall symptom of a taxed immune system. Grains are a major problem, and humans did not evolved to eat them in the quantities we do (especially refined). Grains are not well absorbed, and the protein of the grain penetrates the wall of the small intestine, and is literally attacked by antibodies sent out to take care of these 'invaders' just as the body would do with a pathogen! I highly recommend a book called The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf (and his blog, robbwolf.com). He is one of many scientists and doctors who now have a better understanding of the symbiosis of food and health. It also is worth getting bloodwork done to see what some of your triggers are. I know everyone on here giving advice means well, but it is simply common knowledge or though. Yes, saline washes help. Yes, pills can help. But, these options do no more than cover up the symptoms. What needs to be asked and addressed is: Why is there a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
