If only I had known when I was at college that I needed hypoallergenic covers for my pillows, mattresses, Hepa air filter machine, as I had bad allergy to house dust mite residue. But that was the 1970s, Hepa air filter machines, covers for pillows, mattresses weren't available then. Didn't know about this from allergy doctors until 1980s. Now, I have covers on all my pillows, mattresses, hepa air filter machine in my bedroom & 1 in my studio where I work. Worth the costs as I get a good...
@Kathy P I did purchase it . I got it to try because Of the promise of allergy free and no scent . I think it works well . However the bottle needs to be reworked . It leaks easily from the top . Also when you pour you need a funnel . Or it comes out way to fast . They should of designed it better .
No joke my asthma has gotten worse this winter . I think it’s the extreme between the heat and extreme cold . Between the allergies and asthma and drip . I got a respiratory infection. Was on antibiotics not fun . Now anything sets it off . Someone smokes I can’t stop coughing. I was never like this before . Also doesn’t help that my workplace is an active construction zone so it’s non stop with dust . Also sometimes the air flow isn’t working . Just stagnant hot air . Doctor is having me...
Sorry to hear about the increased symptoms this winter and the respiratory infection. It can take some time after a flare (like from a respiratory infection) for your lungs to settle down. Do you have a sick plan from your doctor to tell you how and when to taper off any increased medicines/nebulizers after being sick. Is the new medicine Tezspire ?
Thanks for commenting, Brenda. I wasn’t aware that all tires are made of latex now — I thought that had stopped decades ago with artificial substitutes. i’m so glad to know that’s not true!
This is awesome information that we can hand out to our clients from a credible source. My husband and I operate an air duct cleaning business. We live in Michigan, so we get a lot of humidity and people often forget to turn their humidifier off after the winter. We have witnessed black mold and very poor indoor air quality in the majority of homes here. Our main goal is to help improve indoor air quality and raise awareness. Thank you for writing this article.
Welcome to the AAFA community @Amberlee84 . You may also be interested in 3 Ways Humidity Affects Asthma . Would you consider starting a new topic about using your HVAC to manage Asthma triggers? That would be a fine addition to the Asthma Support forum.
And many of us, especially the disabled, cannot afford these expensive items. It's hard enough affording the inhalers, biologics, oral meds. How about we make asthma care affordable!!
Goodness...l have been so sooo remiss. I have so sooo many of these signs BEFORE my chest realllly starts to tighten up...and l wait and wait and wait before taking my reliever inhaler! Every....single ....time. I wasn't aware that l was supposed to take my medicine during the warning signs. I keep waiting and hoping they'll go away . No wonder things are getting out of control 😣
I have gone to the ER with these symptoms and they put the PulseOx on me and I'm still in the 90s and they say I'm OK. This confuses and concerns me as I'm clearly exhibiting the signs explained above. Thankfully I have my asthma specialist's cell # and I'm able to have him explain to the ER doc that I need prednisone and breathing treatments. I too, usually wait a long time before seeking help, because it's frustrating when I do. Does anyone else experience this? Great article, thank you 😊
Asthma is worse in poor people like me that live with cockroaches due to allergy to them. On Tue, May 3, 2022 at 8:21 AM Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America < support@aafa.org> wrote:
I take a daily allergy medication. I am struggling with when to take it. I seem to have horrible allergies early in the morning and again in the evening as the sun sets. I have pretty bad seasonal allergies but it seems like I cannot get relief during the transition time between environmental allergies. I have only been prescribed one-a-day meds for allergies. Does something exist that is more than once a day to combat my morning and evening allergies? Thank you!!!
