Allergies Support Group
When the immune system responds to a foreign substance in an abnormal way, it is classified as an allergy. When the body first contacts the substance, it will not cause any reactions, but the immune system will start to produce antibodies to it and subsequent contact will trigger more dramatic responses. Depending on the allergy, the response could be mild or very severe...
I am suffering this winter with what they say are allergies . My only symptoms are eyes that are itchy and swollen halfway shut. I am meeting with a specialist soon, hopefully for allergy testing to find out what I am allergic to. I have a suspicion it is my cats, who aren't going anywhere. I have heard talk of air purifiers? Anyone try one?
80% of folks who say they don't have allergies actually do. It's almost inevitable with all the junk we ingest in our bodies from the air, food and water.
I always had some kind of air purifier and it works for me to this day. Good luck. I think you'll be alright, Diane-M!
How's the weather where you're at? It's dreary here. I expect to run into Edgar Alan Poe next walk w/Lil'Dude!:)
