I changed my diet to organic. I removed all white/sugar and got rid of yeast overgrowth. I also used raw organic LOCAL honey as my sweetener - but used it sparingly. I did many anti-fungals and do so today: garlic, grape seed, pau d arco, oil of oregano, etc. My diet helped ALOT. I am no longer on steroid sprays. I also refuse Anti-biotics. They will kill all of us eventually. I do not EAT meat that has been treated with antibiotics to get them to grow fatter and I believe it helps. Then, I got tested for allergies. They are gone.

Some trees and shrubs always are in bloom in January and in a mild winter can start in December. Elms, maples, and willows have family members that drop lots of pollen at this time of the year. Depending where you are some honeysuckles, witchhazels etc are also blooming. Watch which trees the squirrels seem to be spending their time in. We used to have what is commonly called slippery elm that the squirrels killed because there was no food and they ate the buds and large portions of the bark. I have had various seasonal allergies all year. This winter started last week of November.

I had strong hay fewer from childhood so I know how limiting allergies can be. I used to hate it sooo much. And practically all pills made me sleepy, even if they had "Non drowsy" labels all over... And no pills helped entirely, I always had more or less allergic problems. So when my doctor put me on Singulair it just simple has changed my life. I am not sleepy and I practically do not have any alergic problems. My alergic asthma is perfectly controlled too. Actually last year I first time in my life could smell spring. It is funny - I always thought that spring smells just in poetry since I was not able to smell it really. I am so fond of Singulair that I always recommend it to everybody with allergies. It definitely has changed my life...and I know it sounds kinda ridiculous. But if you had such a bad allergy and suddenly you did get rid of it - you would understand. Anyway, good luck to everybody to control any allergy.

Hi Hun, Well this week has been a real B*tch.. Medical probs with memers of the family have sent my emotions to rolling again... To much to try to explain about the families medical probs. Pains in the upper right quadrant again. This is how this whole thing seemed to have started so yes Iknow it all menopause related. I went thru all kinds of tests and all is ok internally. I had it out with one of my little coworkers the other day. Little smart a** he is. When I reported him to my supervisor he just kind of blew me off I think. Not sure but I think he is assuming that because of all these nerve issues ( the family issues) I am alittle on edge.. WELL NO SHI!!! But the darn little brat still screamed and cussed at me so he should have been reprimanded. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR I had a follow up apt, at my doc yesterday and my blood pressure was high and she could clearly see how stressed out I was sooooooo she suggested I start some antidepressants to try to calm my life down some. I agreed. I have been on HRT once before but told her no way was I going back on it. So I will give these a try and if my life calms back down I will try to go without them for awhile. My poor husband is always telling me he is sorry I feel so bad. I am taking a online course as well right now to try to get into a new job field so theres a little more stress. I have yet to figure out why we women take on so much. Did you ever notice men dont seem to try to do so much all at the same time? lol.. I am glad your sex life perked up, mine sure hasnt! My husband walks around limping some times cause he hurts. lol. kind of funny but then again I feel so bad when I see him doing this... well thanks for the vent.. hope you are feeling good.
