Absolutely!!!

The worst part is that those around me who don't have allergies just don't get it. After all, it's JUST allergies.

Thanks for responding. I started out with a tickle in my throat which led to laryngitis. I went to the doctor, he said probably a virus but he did hear some wheezing when he listened to my lungs so he put me on the z-pak and steroids. I know I have allergies to dust mites and mold, I lost my voice completely and it is back about 90%. I still feel like I have phelgm or something in my lungs or throat, and the more I cough to clear it, I believe it irritates the vocal cords and then I feel like I am getting hoarse again. My nose is soooo dry and I would be happier if I could have a runny nose and nothing seems to help me. I am thinking that I might have some asthma with the allergies cause I know they can be related to some extent, but I feel so worn out and it feels like I have to push my words out to talk. Are these typical signs of allergies or asthma? I get worried about the hoarseness and get scared it is something more serious. Anymore replies or same symptoms with this type of allergy or asthma?

Allergies can exhaust a person from head to toe!! They can effect your balance, your ears, eyes and do a first class job on a person. If you think you have them, please go see an allergist to be tested and if you need injections, don't hesitate to take them. They have saved my life.

My allergies ALWAYS exhaust me. Like danabarb said, go see an allergist to be tested. I've been on injections for over a year and they have been incredible. This is the first year in I don't remember how long that I haven't felt completely taken over by allergies.
