My Kaiser allergy DR. doesn't know anything about allergies.

I've been going to her for the last 6 months.

Next monday I get a CT scan of my head to see is I have a sinus infection.

I'm having all sorts of bad things happen to my body.

I have Brain fog, bad skin, eye floater, etc etc etc.

But now i'm having yeast problems? my tongue is all white. now I have jock itch, and athletes foot????

I have allergies to thing I work around, but I never really knew it, I never had the runny nose, or itchy eyes, I just feel light headed 24/7.

My allergy tests were off the charts, I was +4( I guess thats the highest) with Grass, Mold, Dust mites, rag weed. and I had other minor allergies to my pets, and what not.

I guess when ever I Google allergies, it just talks about runny noses, and itchy eye's???? I dont have any of that. and I've had bad allergies for over 10 years untreated.

Have you not tried an antihistamine? Plenty of options OTC - claritin, zyrtec. Are you going to take allergy injections?

Hey there, I went to an allergist a few years ago and was told that I was not allergic to dust, which I did not believe because as soon as I come into contact with dust, it affects me. However, dust continued to plague me.

Last week I had a food allergy test and they also tested me for inhalants and I was allergic to both dust (3) and dust mites (4+) as well as dogs (4++), cats (4++) and some grasses (3s). I start allergy shots next week for dust, dust mites, dogs and cats. I don't have pets but there are some in my building.

My feelings are light-headedness, brian fog, problems sleeping and going into certain malls is just a killer, like I am in another world, disconnected feelings. And when I sneeze, I bring the house down.

Yes, I'm taking a antihistamine once a day, and a nose spray. I start shots next week.

Does your brain fog go away? or is it come and go? I feel like this 24/7. My vision is blurry, tons of eye floaters..

Some days more so than before. I just feel spacy when it happens. Also, I needed glasses 2 years ago because the doctor said that I was nearsighted. Not sure if allergies were the culprit.

Good luck with your shots too. We will both get some relief.
