Take very small amounts and only increase them once every 4-5 days - very very gradually only! Read all you can in the Healing Folder - it is really enlightening. Also read information in the Allergies Folder. Hang in there Mike. Things will improve. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 As mentioned by somone else, I too use Nasonex whichis a prescription nasal spray and helps a lot. I also use Saline Nasal Spray, over the counter med any brand, in addition to the Nasonex 2-3 times a day sometimes. And that too helps!!! Clara OR [ ] Allergies I am having a hard time with allergies this year. As most of you know I have Sjorgens and that makes me very dry. Everytime I take allergy meds it makes the dryness extreme. I can't even swallow and I feel like I have something in my throat all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to clear the sinuses without these awful side affects? My doc said to just suffer through but I find that a hard option to " swallow " . Thanks for any help. the WV hillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I asked my doc for nasonex or flonase and he said I didn't need it. He also said that the salt water wouldn't do much good so was really a waste of time because it would dry me out like everything else. I think he is a jerk.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 , I have done that salt-water thing; it works but was not pleasant. And one time I aspirated the junk and then had pnuemonia. I've taken Advil cold & sinus without feeling noticably " dryer " . bsmyers1@... wrote: I asked my doc for nasonex or flonase and he said I didn't need it.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 When I did it, I was given a recipe that made a quart at a time (you could save it for a week). It had salt that is used for pickling vs. table salt. You use a syringe and flush it in one nostril and it comes out the other nostril. I really hated it. And the, like I said, I aspirated it and ended up with pnemonia. Joanne just sent out a bunch of other alternatives; I'd go with one of them. bsmyers1@... wrote: I'm not sure what you mean by sinus cleansing?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I did take Advil cold and sinus,Alka Seltzer cold plus, and Alleve cold and sinus.I Quit them because I was afraid I was taking it all too much. Is that possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks for the info. I will try the peas and get some of the cough syrup. Even after all these yrs. I still have trouble figuring out meds. You'd think that agfter 10yrs. I'd know how to handle things but my body keeps changing on me and stuff that used to work no longer do. Thanks for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Sinus irrigation using a neti pot and normal saline solution. You can also use a baby bulb syringe. I can give you more details if you need them. It has really helped me avoid antihistamines and antibiotics. If you do a Google search, look to see if there is any instructions that include leaning upside down over a bathtub.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I have to do it upside down to prevent aspirating. But if you have swallowing difficulty it might not be enough protection.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 My mother does this. She has even had sinus surgery. I thought maybe you meant something else. I think I well pass on the cleansing. The time I tried it I about choked to death.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Barb, Thanks for the info. Does anyone else in your friend's family have the same issues? Has your friend ever been given a reason as to why she has the allergies or if something can be done like desensitizing? It's just so odd to be allergic to so many things and with the CMT posts I thought, hmmm.....maybe this is why. Thanks again for the info.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Carmella, I want to weigh in on the allergy issue. Since childhood, I have had allergies - seasonal and environmental, especially to molds, fungus, hay, Bermuda grass, bees, and 100's more. Because of the mold allergy, I am allergic to certain medications, and have to be cautious about eating cheses, mushrooms, etc. Also during the rains, I am affected. My allergies are limited to skin issues. I clean with bleach which kills mold, and thank God my gym is spotless and cleaned regularly too. Over the course of my life I have had 3 or 4 'series' of long-term injections to antibodies - at one time I received 2 shots a week for 2 years. But had no problems for years after Another time I gave the injections to myself at home once a week for about 4-5 years. Had no problems for years after. While I am a gardener, I make sure I'm wearing my gloves, and immediately on finishing, I bathe in warm water and baking soda, which can prevent any allergic reaction from occuring. I can't do much about the bees, lol, they love my Jasmine, and so do I. When there are too many of them around, I go inside. A bee sting has been known to put me out of breath, fortunately that hasn't happened in years. It almost seems like the more attention I have paid to my allergies, the more control over them I got. And yes, I had ALL the tests, on my arms, back, etc., for everything, even foods. Also did the 'food elimination diet' to understand food groups and find any 'hidden' causes. My allergists were some of the best doctors I ever had. Desensitation worked wonders, and speaking from my intuition, I feel I have outgrown some of my allergies. Having allergies (to anything) can happen to anyone, with or without CMT. Just having CMT doesn't mean we are immune to anything else. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 If you're concerned about your bed, vacuum your mattress thoroughly (turn it over while you're at it), then launder your mattress pad as well as pillows and comforters. If you've never vacuumed your mattress before, empty your vacuum first . .. you'll be amazed at the stuff that comes out! Pollen is covering everything here with a layer of yellow. . . I was enjoying sleeping with the windows open . . but not now. . .AC is on again! Eating locally grown honey is supposed to help with local allergies . .. If you can handle sugar. . .It's not a option for me. . . Hubby has been eating some though and seems to be doing better this year than usual.
