One of the biggest challenges I have faced in my forties is allergies. I have heard others complain about allergies and the impact it had on their lives but I never experienced it until this year. I still can not imagine what it would be like to have allergies since my childhood. I do understand now how much it effects mood and health. Since December my allergies have impacted my mood, my breathing, my sleep and my energy.
Sounds like fun I know, having allergies is a hoot. It is June and I am breathing again although still not at 100%. I have tried several remedies so far. Here is what has worked for me (I am not a doctor):
1. Lots of water
2. Netty pot (warm salt water nose irrigation)
3. Walfinate from Walgreens
4. Lung Tonic from (Herbs) liquid form
5. Activated Quercitin
6. Sleep
7. Changing my attitude
Remember in life Attitude is everything and the grumpier we are the grumpier people are around us. Staying positive when we feel like crud will actually make us feel better. Take what ever medication you are going to take particularly if prescribed by your doctor. Then add a heavy dose of good attitude on top and see how much better you feel.
