How to Live With Your Allergies

Allergies may be as simple as itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, or they could be something more serious such as an asthma attack or anaphylactic shock. No matter which route your allergies take you, they are at best uncomfortable and at worst life shattering. However, you can learn to live with them.

There are several things that may be needed, depending on the severity and the type of allergy. You may need to use more than one of the tips below.

1) Find out what you’re allergic to. That may sound like a given, but it may not be as simple as you think. Pollen from trees, flowers, herbs and grasses differ to a certain degree. Pet fur and/or dander can be problematic and so can the excretions of some pocket pets, like hamsters. You may find yourself more allergic to one than to another. You could even skip a few variations.

There are more things that cause allergies than pollen. For respiratory allergies, smog, perfumes, cleaning products and some foods can be the problem source. If your allergy runs to hives, it is most likely to something you’ve had to eat or drink such as strawberries, seafood and some herbal preparations. Having the testing done will make things more simple.

2) Deep clean: This may not be needed for all allergies, but if your problem is pet or dust related, a regular deep cleaning of your house is a good idea. Make sure to do carpets, under beds, window coverings, the whole nine yards. You’ll want to use caution choosing cleaning products, but the testing should help you find one that won’t be a problem.

3) Lose the scents. I’m not only talking about perfumes, though that can be a must for some people, I’m talking about all the scented products in the house. Since we stopped using laundry soap and dryer sheets with dyes and perfumes, allergy symptoms have dropped dramatically. When I choose something scented, I use essential oils that I know we aren’t allergic to.

4) Follow the doctor’s orders: That may be harder than you think. Those allergic to peanuts know this all too well; it’s not always obvious the allergen is in a food item. There are a lot of medications that can make things easier and prevent more serious outcomes, but multiple drugs can be hard to remember, especially if they have to be taken at different times of the day.

Living with allergies isn’t easy, but we don’t have to let them progress, which they will if left untreated. Use these steps and you may find yourself breathing easier.
