Allergies

To explain my allergies better... I almost always have a stuffy nose at home and when I walk into school and my eyes water as I walk through hallways. I also have outdoor allergies like grass and ragweed. I'm just getting tired of taking Claritin D on some days. I was looking at this one http://www.blueairstore.com/blueair-201-R.shtml Can someone recommend something under $250 that have cheaper replacement filters?

I recently got hives from a patch i used for muscle pains. There are two rectangles of i believe hives on my back and they itch A LOT. I got a shot from my doctor today and I wanted to know which one works better. Bendryl or Claritin?

last night i had applied this firming lotion on my arms, legs, and hands. After about 10 minutes, i told my mom that my legs felt like they were tingling. She said it was nothing and to stop worrying.
Well this morning, i woke up with reddish/pinkish dots. Most of them are small but theres one big one. And they itch.

-they are not blisters
-not sick
-not taking medication
- its only where i applied the lotion


can you please tell me what you think???
thank you very much!! :)

I have had hives for months and wonder if my allergist is doing everything possible to find it's cause, even though I know that I may never know the cause. I have had blood tests done and now have stopped eating certain foods to see if it makes a difference. When should I get a second opinion? Is it possible that he is missing something? I have been suffering for several months!! It's costing me time and money and I still have no answers. So I ask, when is a good time to see someone else? Whaddya think?

I asked a question earlier about what is wrong with my tongue and I have come to the conclusion it's an allergy to wine. What could I take from otc medicines to help make it go away faster? Is there anything?

What is a good solution to make it go away? Tea bags are not working... any inexpensive over-the-counter medications?

Many people including myself and one of my sons are allurgic to Aspartame. It causes migraine attacks. In some people it causes seizures.

My son and I recently took some kids vitamins together not knowing it contained Aspartame. Sure enough, we got our migraine attacks from it. There was NO warning label!

I think there should be a law requiring a warning label for Aspartame. Why isn't there?

For example, Lots of Tapatio hot sauce on Flaming Hot or Spcy Doritos. It's weird but it's happened to me ever since I can remember.

My daughter is allergic to every fabric softener I have tried. All the major brands, the supermarket own brands, even the environmentally friendly ones and ones for sensitive skin make her itch and scratch till she bleeds. Anyone know any specialist brands or even a natural alternative?

I have an unfortunate allergy to all things soy. It goes far beyond just being unable to have tofu or soy sauce; I can't even eat things with soy lecithin like most chocolate , and food cooked with cooking sprays makes me ill (even the canola because they use soy as a propellant). Because of this, I've taken to avoiding eating out. Sometimes, however, social niceties demand dining out.

I was wondering how other people with similar allergies handle these situations, when you are obligated socially to go and eat. I have to confess I'm getting very tired of eating dry salads (my friends do not have high budgets and most lower-cost places don't give you the option of fresh vinegar/olive oil) to avoid having to ask the server closely about food ingredients (usually they have no clue). If its possible I call ahead to find that information out, but that can't always happen.

How do you handle avoiding foods you're allergic to politely?
