He's very itchy & he often gets short tempered from it. He's allergic to dust mites,pollen,mold,rice,corn, soy, & egg. I bought a Hepa filter vacuum,encased his bedding to keep dust mites away, run air purifiers,change the furnace filter frequently,use fragrance free detergents,run clothes through a second rinse cycle,use no dryer sheets,keep baths tepid & brief, lotion with Eucerin immediately afterward, & have him wear only cotton clothes. I can honestly say NONE of this has made a difference. He starts Kindergarten in the Fall & I worry about him. How can he concentrate if he's itchy? Keeping my child drugged on Benadryl indefinitely isn't an option to me. I currently started him on probitotics with his allergists approval & give him 2 tsp. ground Flaxseed in his cereal every morning. I'm now trying Emu oil on him. I spend all my free time searching for answers. Has anyone found relief from dry eczema? Perhaps a Homeopathic Dr. is my next step. Thank you in advance for any help!

My boyfriend thought he got poison ivy a few days ago. That's what I think it is also. Then he got bit by a spider right where the poison ivy was and popped the blister it left behind. Now he has red welts all over his body that only itch if you touch them. They aren't bites, it's not just the rash spreading, and it's not an allergic reaction to poison ivy or the spider because I've had both and it doesn't look the same. Is it possible that the poison ivy seaped into his bloodstream through the spider bite and he's breaking out in a rash from the inside out? Or does it sound like the mumps or something? (He has no other symtoms like fever, etc.)

I would like to know if smoking through a hookah (arabic smoke instrument) is safer or negligible health wise as compared to smoking cigarettes? Some people say that smoking hookah is safe as the smoke is filtered through water and as long as you are smoking non-tabacco it is safe. is this true?

I was rearended today and saw no damage to my car or my body though I was thrown forward. After looking at my car, I walked over to the person who rearended me. She didn't even get out of the car. She just rolled down her window and said "I'm sorry" At that moment I saw nothing I could "hold her on" I thought if there was damage to the car then yes, take the information but if not, guess there is no problem. It was my first accident and wasn't thinking quite clearly. All I had in the back of my head was the ad on the radio or tv on allstate insurance - the longer period of time you are not in an accident the more coverage or money they give you.... though I don't have Allstate I just thought if you didn't report it, it won't hurt anyone. But it could hurt me in the end if I end up with whiplash and Chiroprator visits to pay... I was more tryin to figure out what had just happened. My neck definatly flew forward then back:( Any advice?

Our son was a mo. short of his third birthday when a 40lb. box fell on his head from 12 foot high. He had never complained of headaches or cramps before. After this hit on the head he complained for 7 days of headaches. Doctor sent him for a CT amd then a MRI which showed chiari type one. The head aches fades somewhat but now seem to be coming more often along with leg cramps and stomach aches.

Sounds silly but feel like I can't live without it. I have bottles all over the house, panic if I find myself without it. Can't sleep longer than an hour or so before I wake up to take more. I'm a nose breather and tend to choke in my sleep rather than open my mouth to breathe. Have allergies now, presumably to the spray, sneeze lots. Been taking them for about 10 years, now it's worse than ever, using about every hour or less, everyday. The thought of 'cold turkey' makes me cold, I can't imagine how awful that would be, not being able to breathe through my nose and the stuffyness is unbearable. I need to get off this stuff and I've no idea where to start. GP's referring me to E,N&T unit but this is NHS, months before I even get on the waiting list? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
