This is huge news! I need to connect with my pulmonologist. Could you please make an Instagram post about these changes? Would like to spread the info . Thank you!
I've had things I knew I was allergic come up negative on blood tests but positive on skin prick tests and obviously positive when exposed to the allergen. From what I understand there is a difference in allergic responses that isn't always picked up on blood tests, and also that sometimes an allergen has more allergenic components in it than what is looked for on a specific ige blood test but that do often pick up on the skin prick test. I have also heard some allergic reactions are more...
@Shea is absolutely right -- a reaction can indeed occur immediately or 2 - 6 hours (sometimes more) later . Seeing a board-certified allergist is definitely a way to get a more accurate assessment of what your allergies truly are.
Excellent question. There's more than one type of rhinitis (or nasal allergies). Allergic rhinitis is caused by an allergen (for example, pollen or dust). Non-allergic rhinitis is caused by other things like chemicals or a deviated septum (i.e. physical nose defect) to name a few.
Hmmmm. Soooo. The 2 types: allergic and non allergic, would cover rhinitis? Or is it more broad than that? Trying to avoid triggers for the fall season when my immune system is the weakest, could turn into a full time job. But I guess that is 'par for course' as I enter into this new world of survival due to allergies and asthma. 🙁 gps On Mon, Oct 25, 2021, 09:55 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!!!
Hi! So one thing that took me MANY years to understand is the value of using a spacer. I have multiple friends with asthma that I have tried to convince to use a spacer. Is there a "short" answer you could give as to why using a spacer is beneficial? I always just have to say, "I don't know it just does make a difference."
I've taken it every morning for years and have had no problems. Word of caution: don't forget that you took it in the morning and then take it at night. I know someone who did this and it made them very sick (not me).
Hi tkdgirlms- You bring up a great point! Putting a daily reminder in my calendar or phone had been helpful for me to keep track of when I take medication. Do you have other tips for remembering when to take different medicines?
