We are having very humid weather here in upstate New York and a heatwave. I did go out briefly last evening to throw away more garbage and to get some items from my car. It is supposed to cool off on...
The unprecedented heat has caused more growth and therefore more pollen, ragweed and other allergens. This is what I think....
Well, this is really talking to myself BUT. Now after two or three days of diaheria (the poops), it is very hard to settle back into regular pattern. I know a dentist who has IBS and also a young...
Sorry to say but there will be a big weather change here ... 35 degrees and I am so scared my asthma will flare up. They seem to blame me for my asthma (the medical people). Most of the people where...
It was a gastrointestinal virus and am doing better. Of course, I cancelled out the car check and podiatrist. Am intrigued that they are doing studies in Australia of the link between allergies and...
Have been uptight lately. Today I must see my podiatrist and have my car checked out. Have IBS and gas pains. Since my immune system is impaired due to allergic asthma, I don't know if this IBS...
I am a believer now. I first came down with IBS when I lost my wonderful husband, moved and stopped my career. Had it calmed down until I underwent a pharmaceutical heart stress test. Not a fun thing...
Yes, I do sleep with a covering for my eyes, very sensitive to light in the morning. They used an industrial sander to grind out the old glue for the new carpeting in the hallway. Eyes are a bit...

Is that a pain medication? It might cause IBS / C. Check with pharmacy. Find out who the manufacturer is and find their 800 number on line. Call them up....
I have been repeating the same word over and over (mentally) before I sleep for years. This is to block out thoughts. Now when I say that word (mentally) I do feel some relaxation. I also do not move...
It is really the allergic asthma which puts me into a hole. Since that is better, I am coping better now....

besides dry eyes, there was grinding down of old glue in the apt. bldg where I live. My eyes kept flickering and now they feel sore. Went to the hallway and the new carpeting is irritating. Am...
Wanted you to know that advil probably has some aspirin in it. Alka seltzer is buffered aspirin. Why don't you call a pharmacist to find alternative. Tylenol is an alternative but you must be careful...

At the very least they should be ordering x rays of your neck and back or a scan....

Go low tech and get a futon, you can get allergic cover for the mattress and then get a nice cover. Very comfortable and low $....
You should see a doctor. I have had asthma since 1983 and am short of breath a lot especially after getting over a virus. Definitely rule out heart problem. I have allergic asthma which is a "strange...
hope the doc can find something else for you. I have had three drugs taken away. Zelnorm has no alternative. Darvon can be replaced by another. This is a drug I used for 50 years but only rarely....
thank you. I find opening the windows helpful. I did manage to clean bathroom and kitchen yesterday. I worked on living room today. I can not go for a walk because of hammer toes and dislocation of...
I have lost my sense of smell due to numerous sneezing bouts and sinus infections. My eyes right now are burning but I have had tearing non-stop of the eyes in the past. Over the counter...
I suppose I can call and get somebody to help with household chores once a week....

One doctor constantly gave me antibiotics, another said she thought I had lung cancer, another said he thought I was a blood clot. Tried with allergists but the good one retired and the other two...
I would guess that no one wants to lead the forum. Living with asthma is very tiring and I understand. Perhaps some time in the future someone will step forward to lead the forum. I can't do it...
my tiny gem of wisdom is that the pain of the high blood pressure cuff is TOO much around my upper arm and now they have a cuff for the lower arm below the elbow. I am your born with dislocation of...
I had a bad summer with a lot of gas pains and other problems. Since I have been taking a probiotic every morning my BAD system of IBS - C is gone. This was a soiling of undies. It was slight but...
Thanks for the replies. I think this has been a bad virus/flu season and since I am older it is harder to get over stuff. Sore throat was unreal and lasted for 25 days. Just very tired now and eyes...

Never heard of something like that. My doc gave me small doses of each thing I was allergic to. He did not add in dust because I was very allergic to that. He made me wait for 15 minutes and then I...
I am very allergic to all respiratory allergens, grasses, mites, weeds and all. Very allergic to drugs too. Luckily not allergic to any foods. Sorry you having this problem. It is pretty shocking to...
