Mom with severe allergies/asthma, grown kids, spouse, like puzzle games, cats (yes, they have to go). Trying to be positive, But...I'm trying to find a way of earning a living that doesn't interfere with my condition(s).

    • Close Environmental Allergies

      The drop down menu said choose one if applicable, I have them ALL. Plus atypical asthma, arthritis (inflammatory), and carpal tunnel. Are we having fun yet??? I'm trying to find a job that I can do from home and not be exposed to the work place issues (smells). I've had this since I was young (undiagnosed then), my mom had it, and now 2 out of 3 children have it.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Helps w/breathing
      Allegra Working / Worked
      Thank goodness something works! But, only for mild reactions.
      Allergy Shots Not Working
      Lasted 6 months and had to quite because the reaction lasted too long and I couldn't function.
      Astelin Working / Worked
      I use this when nose/sinuses get clogged. It really helps, but don't use everyday, causes nose problems.
      Clarinex Not Working
      Didn't work.
      Flonase Not Working
      Caused nose problems
      Nasal Irrigation Working / Worked
      Nice when everything is too dry.
      Patanol Working / Worked
      Great stuff, helped me recover my eyesight. Too bad it's so expensive.
      Sudafed Not Working
      Knocks me out cold.
      Zyrtec Working / Worked
      Marginal success.
    • Close Asthma
      Type: Cough Variant Asthma

      Hello, My name is Ann. I have Severe Allergies, Asthma, and Vocal Chord Dysfunction. Married, 3 Adult children. Love music, logic puzzles, and am an Entrepreneur.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Works ok
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      This helps with a mild attack
      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      Am working more on this angle, trying to stay clear of too many meds.
      Flovent Working / Worked
      It's ok
      Immunotherapy Working / Worked
      It didn't work. I started as an Adult w/kids and I couldn't function! I stopped after 6 months (bad, when your children have to drive you home!)
      Singulair Working / Worked
      Stopped taking on trial (month), was having problems sleeping, moody, etc. Now am more tired, but my cognitive thinking is better!
