  1. MY PINK EYE!!!

    Well, first of all let me introduce myself. My name is Jerry and I'm from Mexico. I'm 18 years old and since 2 years ago I suffer from the house dust mite allergy. It had to pass a year and a half for me and my family to get to know what my disease was.

    During those 18 months I visited 4 ophthalmologists, 2 homoeopathist and 1 dermatologist (because besides the pink eye symptom your cheeks get red too) and nothing cured me till after hours I spent reading on the web I figured it out I had an allergy. So I immediately went to see an allergist, I had an initial treatment and then the allergy tests: I'm allergic to house dust mite. 

    Now after 4 months of immunotherapy I had a great time last month, some better days than others, sometimes I get desperate because my eye is very red, right now that I’m typing I have symptoms but I’m decided to defeat my allergy and I’m sure I won’t fail.

     

    Thanks,

    Jerry

    I have asthma and now I caught a chest cold.  I have trouble coughing up the chest mucose. I don't have a lot of wind to cough it up. What does someone suggest?

    There are so many more families in this situation now, after Hurricane Ike. And allergens such as dust mites, mold & mildew can just keep circulating over and over in someone's house. Here in SE Texas, it's way worse since Ike. A whole-house air cleaner is the way to go!
