I have had allergies since shortly after birth. They have progressed from skin irritations due to chemical allergies to food and perfume allergies that cause anaphylactic reactions.
I have chemical, food, mold, dust mite, pollen, grass, cat and tree allerges. Instead of outgrowing my allergies since childhood, I have continuously acquired new ones.
Every year I become allergic to at least one or two new foods. I have tried allergy shots in the past and they do seem to help for a while but then I start reacting so bad I have to stop.
Right now I am trying to look at the positive side of things trying to deal with this. I take medicine from my allergy doctor, but I am also taking alternative medicine supplements to try to help.
One thing new that I have learned recently is that digestion may play a large role in allergies. Therefore, I'm taking natural digestion aids. I seem to be doing a little better...it's too soon to tell though. I will update when I know more.
