Do you have allergies?

Have you always had them or is it something you developed? Is there a way to tell if it is an allergy without taking a scratch test? I have a suspected allergy to dust mites. I get real phlegmy overnight and I tend to sneeze and have a runny nose all day because the house is dusty. Tell me your allergy woes.

I have allergies really bad. I have had them ever since I was a kid. You would think that since I grew up in the desert that there would be little out there to be allergic to. Well I was allergic to creosote which is the major plant that grows out there. Have have gone through the allergy shots four times. Each time I get better and then after a while start a new set of allergies. My current doctor told me when I first went to see him in 2000 that out of the 200-300 patients he sees a week there are only one or two a year as bad as I was. So that shows how severe my allergies are. Then it doesn't help that the area that we live in is often called the allergy capital of the country. Mark

I have the dust allergy, allergy to ragweed and some kind of tree pollen or something. Whenever I have the windows open in the living room. I start to sneeze. I think I'm slightly allergic to pet dander too, but not majorly cuz my dog sleeps with me.

I have a similar problem with dust, and pollen. My allergies flare up the worst at the changing of the seasons. A weird allergy that I have, although I have discovered that it is not as uncommon as I thought it was, is to the cheap twenty-dollar necklaces that you can buy in Wal-Mart and other places. The stuff that makes up the fake jewelry causes the skin that it is touching to break out!
