Taking 2x500mg capsules of Flax seed oil per day continuesly reduced occurance of my allergies significantly. Also keeping away from anything too hairy, and if I start getting bit of itchy nose and runny eyes I take over the counter medication called Claratyne (Loratadine 10mg), and when i cannot breath I use nasal spray called Spray-Tish (tramazoline hydrochloride).

:luck: :luck: :luck:

I thought I had pet allergies too, as I've had odd, periodic flareups of allergy-type symptoms which come and go without explanation.

It was really bad last year; sinus, eyes, skin, oesophagus so, after going back and fore to the GP with no success, I went to see a private allergy doctor. He did a range of skin tests and said I was only very slightly allergic, not enough to explain the degree of irritation I was suffering (I had ulcers all over the inside of my eyes and the skin around was so swolen my glasses were cutting in painfully).

I told him it was worst when the weather was sunny; he immediately asked if I wore a high-factor sun screen as the substances in these are very bad for inducing extreme sensitivity. I did use it, and so I stopped immediately and the skin irriation went away in days. The sinus problems went when the weather got cooler and fresher.

Further to this, I've found I'm just extremely chemically sensitive. The trouble is that aerial pollution tends to be high at the same time as pollen (in hot, sunny weather) so it's easy to assume irritation is just down to the usual allergens. One GP did say that it's very common in Oxford due to the fact we are in a sort of basin so that aerial pollution can't escape, and there are times when lots of people come in with skin/eye/nose irritation and asthma-like symptoms when conditions are bad.

The allergy doctorr also suggested that my chemical sensitivity also extends to prescription medicines which means it's almost impossible for me to find a stable dose of thyroid replacement; but finally knowing this has really helped a lot as none of the other specialists could fathom what the problem was.

The only thing I found effective was high doses of pirition; if I know it's going to be hot, still weather I take them preventatively (don't drive of course as they make you very, very drowsy).

blimey, you lot do suffer don't you

I do too, but normal medication works fine for me :b

my sister is extremely allergic to animal/pollen/dust the whole kaboodle :wacko: so had some sort of anti histamine injection last summer, first thing that has ever really worked for her :thumbsup:

hope you find something to relieve it soon, and well done with your girl :cheers:
