| Re: I am allergic to dustmites!!!
Kimberly,
I have reaction to dust mites too and work hard to sleep well in spite of it by:
o Allergy covers for mattress, box, pillows
o Regular washing of sheets and blankets, at least 1x/week
o Don't sit on any furniture with pajamas on, else sofa or easy chair dust mites will get onto bedclothes and come to bed with you.
o Wash other pollens out of hair before bed. Few things are as ironic as having an allergy-free pillow that you dump hair-caught pollen onto.
o And a neti pot has done wonders in keeping sinuses clear. I use distilled water, since chlorine irritates the sinuses.
o Finally, 2-3 benadryl (no prescription antihistamine at this time)
= pretty well managed for the degree allergies I have.
