Are you sure you are mail. YOu know alot about baths. Must have lots of females in the family.  
 
 
Actually NIkki, Johnathan is right . Put Ice on . 
I hate that cuase my skin gets irritated by certain things Nd I get all itchy. Nothing does help, which does suck. Ice or a cool compress seems to ease the itching a bit and bring down any kind of inflamation. I also think IP helps.
I am still suffering from Allergies. I know with all this rain I will have a full blown sinus infection next week. I all ready feel it coming on. I need some Antibotics. I wish they had pre-infectioin medicine to take.

I heard of something. I think COLD-EZZ is like that. THis is allergies. I have no way of preventing them. Even with my shots, meds and all, I still get sick.

Yep they do, but it would of been worse if I didn't have surgery 2 years ago. Now instead of getting sick every month-2 months. I can go longer almost 4-5 months without a sinus infection. I don't get them as often.
If you ever saw OLP's exposed when Raine comes out of the hotel in Montreal and says something about allergies. I can totally relate.  Poor Raine. I feel his pain cause I think he has the same thing I just had surgery for.

I am violently allergic to Roaches(domestic and German-don't ask) & Dust Mites
I am also allergic to Cats( I do have them also-but for some reason mine don't bother me), Dogs, Trees, Grass and something called MugWort. It is somekind of weed. Every 3 years I have to be retested to see how the shots are working. I am bad .I haven't gotten my shots in almost 3 months. I do take my meds though.  
 Plus every year I have to get a flu shot because I am more prone to getting it.  
Alot of people have allergiies that they think it is a cold. I only got tested 10 years ago. I hate those test. They either inject needles under you skin or do the graft test. With the graft test  prick you with allergen. Your arm looks like you were a smorgosborg( sorry for spelling) for mosquitos becuse you have these bite like marks on your arms. It takes 3-4 days to disappear and they itch like hell. I heard they did sometimes just take a vile of blood and do the test that way. I am not looking forward to my next test.

				I got tested for allergies every couple years.  I hated those tests.  I also used to get shots for allergies every week, and after the shot I'd always feel sick for awhile afterwards...but I guess they helped a bit.  After about 3 years of that, I went every two weeks, then every month.  I don't get shots anymore, but I can deal with just meds right now. heh.
Allergies really do suck.

so you know what I am delaing with. I am suppose to go every 2 weeks for 3 shots(2 in one arm, 1 in the other). I hate getting them. Ihave been getting shots for 10 years now. I always feel like a pin cushion. SOmetimes the shot would leave a bump on my arm, or make it red. I never got sick though. the longest I went without the shots was about the year, but I am not better/or worse off. It is sort of stagment for me. 
What were you getting shots for and what meds do you take? Right now I am on Allegra D, Advair(for my asthma) & Flonese for  the allergies and Nexumm for acid reflux disease.  I alos have to take the eye drop once in awhile when my allergies get like now cause my eyes are all watery and itchy.

				I got shots for about 6 years.  Right now I'm taking Allertec (it's some medicine my mom picked up when she was in Poland...my uncle said that it works well, and it does!) and claritin (which doesn't work for me *shrug*) I'm allergic to grass, trees, pollen, dust, weeds.  That's all that really affects me.  Then there's dogs, cats, apples, chocolate, and about 20 other things that don't affect me at all..but my doctor said I'm allergic, heh ..so *shrug*  I have a dog, too..and I'm fine around him.

clairtin worked for about a week for me. It is now over the counter. We are allergice to some of the same things. I am not food though. Thank god. M
since we both have pets,. maybe it is other people's animals.  

 . Actually is my cats shed to much near me I tend to sneeze, but that is rare. One of thme loves to sleep on top of my pillow when I sleep. She looks like one of those stuffed animals.
