    I hope the prednisone will work because I’ve been on it countless times before and it hasn’t always come through…

    I know it has side affects which is why I Kept pushing it off – I pushed taking this stuff off for like 2 weeks and then my doctor told me I reached my limit… so she put me on a low dose – 40 for 5 days but she said she doubts that will do the job so I will probably land up on another 20 for five days…

    BTGuy: I tried homeopathy – I went to someone in Williamsburg and he took me off dairy which is torture because I don’t really eat anything aside from macaroni and cheese and pizza!… despite that I tried it for about 2 weeks and it did absolutely nothing! He also put me on all different vitamins and I don’t feel a difference…

    BTGuy: thanks for the concern! really.

    Health: I made sure to check it out and it is not any sort of infection it is pure allergy.

    I was just given prednisone so hopefully that will help and I will start to feel better soon…

    Thanks for all the help!

    Thanks for all the posts guys!

    Health: I’m just curious but what else do you think it can be?

    We have HEPA filters and all our beds are covered with the dustmite covers, we have carpet in my room but my doctor said it doesnt really make that much of a difference (she is the head of the department of allergy and immunology in cornell)

    I tried the neti pot but I feel like I have water in my nose for the next couple of hours and I cant deal with it.

    I am a young person with no anxiety of any sorts or any emotional problems…

    I’ll ask my doctor about the other medicines you mentioned instead of singulair…

    I have not been sleeping and even when I fall asleep I wake up to sneeze… and cough… I’m so ridiculously exhausted from all this blowing and not sleeping… so I think I like the benadryl idea at night but is it ok for me to take it every night? I don’t want to get addicted (chas v’shalom)and also sort of immune to it if I take it to much…

    psocha bchochma: thanks for the tip I’ll try it!

    2 scents: thanks for the tips… B”H I’m no where near overweight so thats out – but I know that it’s the dustmite that is causing it and the annoying thing with that is you can’t get rid of it they are everywhere!

    I really appreciate all the feedback! and to all those allergy sufferers out there – feel better!

    I just went to my doctor yesterday for shots and she said it is all allergy…

    I’m highly highly allergic to dust mite and I suffer from it all year I’ve been having a flare up for like 4 months now and I have reached my limit tonight I’m really going insane…! I have severe allergic rhinitis and mild asthma – I’m on:

    singulair – both for my nose and for my asthma

    allegra sometimes I take a zyrtec with it

    nasonex (2 sprays)

    pataday (eyedrops)

    flovent

    albuterol as needed

    thanks!

    update:

    So I asked her today for a source and she said mishne berura siman ayin daled.

    she said that it doesnt say that you cant walk around in front of your father with ervah showing, rather he cant make a bracha or say krias shema in front of you if ervah is showing so therfore some poskim hold that he cant see you in pajamas at all.

    she also told us that some people have a problem with swimming because the shechinah is resting at the pool…

    to everyone – I did ask my father and my brother but I wanted to hear what other folks had to say…

    apushatayid: I do agree with the overall haskafah of the school but your always going to have a couple of teachers that are super fanatic.

    Sorry so late…! i went Succah shopping today…

    we anyway – I didn’t break my fast because I felt guilty but I threw up straight from 7 A.M. till 12 in the after noon with fever n’ all and then at about 3 the whole thing passed and I was able to go to mincha and neilah. Aside from the fact that I felt really hollow being that I hadnt eaten in 3 days from 3 P.M. and on I felt like it was a regular fast.

    that is a very controversial subject I think someone should make the choice for what is best for them.

    They say the ones done professionally are like throwing your money in the garbage. Supposedly the other ones work just as well and are just as unhealthy for your teeth. Every time I ask my dentist to do a professional whitening he puts the garbage pail in my face and sais to take a one hundred dollar bill and put it in. Good luck!
