Nothing is more distressing than bad dreams and little restful sleep coupled with breathing difficulty and stress. I've noticed that food allergy issues can also cause me to feel anxious and unwell. I'm glad you've gone back to the specialist. Keep going 'til they get the right combo of meds working for you!

It was definitely one of those times when emotions wreak havoc, you know? So I took a Xanax in the evening and it calmed me down. I actually had a good night, slept through and in the morning I am not sore. I still have congestion and need to continue the breathing treatments, but I feel a lot better.Boricua in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408201125366918838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-56464823432248651212009-07-04T23:35:15.287-05:002009-07-04T23:35:15.287-05:00You know that asthma and allergies are something I...You know that asthma and allergies are something I struggle with too, Ingrid. Sometimes I'm doing great, at other times I feel like everything is another problem and I never get to the bottom of it. Sometimes it takes a trial of several different asthma meds before you find one that works just right for you. Last year the immunologist I was seeing put me on Zyflo and it's made an amazing difference! I also do breathing treatments whenever my asthma starts acting up and usually it helps a great deal. I know well how feeling crappy half the time can wear you down not just physically but emotionally. Please take good care of yourself and talk to a doc that can help with those feelings if it starts taking a dark turn. Meds can have weird affects on us, so can hormones, and sometimes just life in general. I promise that this time too will pass and things will be brighter. Never give up!

But this year it got bad in winter, spring and now summer. <br /><br />I had allergy testing done once and it turned out that not many plants triggered a reaction. I think it was only two bushes not native to the US, but that can be found in Southern states. But dust, dust mites, mold, pollen, dog and cat dander were positive for allergies. And strong smells seem to be affecting me more now.<br /><br />I do think heartburn also comes into play. Last year, when I lost 35 lbs. I was doing great. Since gaining it all back over Nov-Dec 2008 my respiratory problems started spiraling out of control.Boricua in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408201125366918838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-53059658366043555122009-07-04T19:31:19.158-05:002009-07-04T19:31:19.158-05:00I am worried about your asthma.

Have you found that your asthma is triggered by native plants or certain times of the year? Mine is bad at the moment with winter settling in. I am worried because usually it is only spring that affects me.<br /><br />I hope your allergist can get to the bottom of things. Try not to worry XXXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
