Thread: Ugh, allergies. Any sufferers?

My immune system is so harsh it kills children and small animals if i thouch them. Actually I have no idea what fights allergies, I just wanted to write that. Didn't see any other conversation getting closer to the subject

Actually, an allergic attack is caused your immune system itself, fighting against imaginary threats and going completely haywire. It thinks strawberry is a highly dangerous compound and goes completely nuts trying to eliminate a threat that is not real.
Most allergic treatments try to get your immune system to back down.

So if your immune system was really that strong, it would have killed you a long time ago.

It tried but it fought back killing itself and then ressurecting again, i think i might be jesus

I had allergies really bad as a kid, did the shots, hated it. Couldn't tell much difference. Took a ton of Benadryl, because that's about all we had in those days.

When I was about 19 I got a job in the road construction business, and worked outside for about 5 years. Haven't had much allergy problem since.

The first trip to the field for dove season usually gets me a little sniffly, but that's about it.

according to my asthma and allergy doctor, when she did the grid test on me, i am allergic to everything she can test for except mold

so, i'm taking several shots a week now, we'll see if it helps. makes sense, i am always sneezing and sick.

Wow!
I have the exact same results.

I underwent some extensive testing after my midnight ER visit, and from the dozens of tests, only the mold spots failed to react.
They also found that my throat doesn't consrict during an alleric reaction, which is always good to know.

Damn son! I feel bad for you guys. I need to have that test done, I just haven't had the ability to get it done. As far as I know, my immune system does a pretty good job, but when it gets bogged down it really needs a helping hand to stay on top, otherwise I look and feel like crap.
