Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Today my allergies have reached a new peak! I've spent weeks and months around all kinds of dogs and cats so I was pretty sure I wasn't allergic to animals. But then the last few days just being around Anakin has brought on sneezing fits and teary eyes. I think I might have an allergy problem,I'm most likely going to end up getting on allergy meds. I was curious if anyone else might have experienced this and have any tips before I go try some something. |

| Yes, I have - there's another thread around here somewhere with it. I'm allergic to dogs but have it under control most of the time with flonase, claritin and sudafed. In addition, we don't allow the dogs on the sofa or sleep on the bed, we vacuum daily and wash the dogs monthly. Sometimes I have flareups but it's caused by the dry winds coming in with tiny particles that irritate my nasal passages. It's definitely manageable - there are some great books and articles out there to help. Also put an allergy cover on your mattress, pillow and shower before bed to remove all allergens from yourself. Definitely get allergy tested to see what other allergies you may have and need to manage. I had to toss my feather bed because I had no idea it was making me worse due to a goose feather allergy. |

| Are those scripts or over the counter medicines? It's usually pretty bad in the afternoons and late evenings. Other than that I've been pretty okay. |

| If I remember correctly, Flonase is a prescription and Claritin and Sudafed are both OTC. However, Claratin may not be the best for you. Different people do better with different allergy medicines. My family all takes Zyrtec, but I do better on Singulair. Try several if you aren't getting the results you want and you can always ask your doctor for suggestions! |

| I'm definitely going to do something ,it's been slowly progressing. At first it was minor and I could easily ignore it. Today I could barely get through cooking a uncontaminated dinner. No one wants a cook with the sniffles |

| My cat messes with my sinuses. I take Zyrtec every day& it helps a ton. But like Katie said, it's good to try different ones to see what works!! |

| Is Anakin doing a lot of shedding? I noticed when Sky started to shed more my allergies started to flare up a little. I used to have real bad pet allergies as a kid and started taking claritin (generic: loratadine) everyday. I still take it, about everyother day, seems to do the trick. I've heard awesome things about zyrtec (generic: cetirizine) too.
FYI - if you know anyone with a Costco membership, they sell both generic types of these drugs super cheap. I got a years supply of Loratadine for <$15 |

| He hasn't started doing any noticeable shedding yet. And lucky for me I do know someone with a Costco membership, looks like I'll be experimenting with drugs for awhile until I find one that works. |
