for some reason, I woke up like 20 minutes ago because I cannot breath and my eyes starts to itch and my non-stop sneezing started...it's my allergic rhinitis again and I was thinking that I haven't eaten anything that could lead an attack...but remembered that I went out earlier & outside was very dusty( but I went out in the morning)and now it's 12 midnight already and when I search for my medicine ,it's no where to be found and I started to itch and my throat starts to pain due to sneezing continuously...and I fear for my life suddenly as it happened to me already before and I am thinking of my little girl..but then an instinct told me,I have spare tablets in some of my bags in case I change bags & had an allergic attack..and Thank God I found one...I still have itchiness right at this moment but I'm glad it's getting better,sneezing less and my eyes itchiness are getting lesser...Thank you Lord...

I think if you are in such a bad shape you take better care of yourself and where to put your medication. Ask for extra if you can't find it at once.
Also check when to go out, keep the windows closed if it's dusty, etc. With 2 times a day medication the sneezing and itching should be able to be controlled. Ask your doctor if the meds are still sufficient for you.

omg! i am sooo glad that you are okay. perhaps even you should go for a follow up, just in case. try to keep your meds in at least two places (out of reach to children and animals, but insight to you and other adults. feel better soon.

Is that an asthma attact? I used to have one also and i think it happens to me not so often anymore. Before it used to happen lots of times and i would just take my ventolin inhaler and after a few seconds i could breath normally again. I heard that the medicine i am taking contains a little steroids thus making it very effective. But lately when i have an asthma attact i would usually try to bare with it and try to avoid taking medicine so that i won' get used to the medicine although it would take a few days before it goes away.

oh my, I'm glad you found one, my cousin has also that kind of allergy, so when we go out especially in a polluted area she cover her nose with handkerchief or sometimes she's wearing medical mask, because if triggered she's continuously sneezing and coughing at the same time because she also have asthma.

Glad you were able to find your medicine. You should stock up on some and put it in an emergency case or place that you can run to if you have a quick allergic reaction and someone else needs to run and get it. Think of a place that is easy to describe when you are in distress and that person, or even your child, would be able to find it quickly. If worse comes to worse, and no medication is around, call 911.
