allergic to cats?

[Phoenix]

No I know that my allergies is to cats. I was allergy tested a few years back so I know it is. It also only comes up as a result of being in direct contact with cats or dogs so I know it is nothing else. In other words I always have a reaction every time I visit my sister.

I'm also allergic to dust which ALWAYS brings up hives. I again was put on real harsh drugs as I was developing hives daily and had to go through an elimination process. Loratadine doesn't help me at all, and neither does any of the other meds I have been on. The med I'm taking now on a daily basis is Phenergan, I have taken it every day since june but use it for nausea and vomiting (for my illness) and it doesn't help my allergies although it's an allergy med.

As long as you are diligent about cleaning, and no kitty in the bedroom, it should cut down on the histamine level. I am hoping you don't have wall-to-wall carpet, and if you do, consider changing that out to area rugs that can be washed more thoroughly more often, for your dust mite allergy.

Everything you can do to cut down the dust mite will of course help!

Thanks Karen, I have OCD so as long as cleanliness goes it will always be spick and span!

I'm moving out very soon and I will get floor boards and will have rugs. That's more hygienic anyway.

Phoenix won't be coming to me until I move out and everything is set up so I will take every precaution I can so things are easier.

I'm sure your allergy doc told you plenty, but if you need more tips about eliminating dust mites, I know them all by heart! My dust mite allergy is so severe they don;t even bother to test for it any more, because it skews or obliterates the results for everything else near it!
