Allergic?

Question:

I have had a bad June and not as but still bad for me July.  The odd thing is, I was fine the week we went to Phoenix ( I live near Seattle)  I was ok but had an episode the week we were back.  Then we spent four days camping in eastern WA, a warmer and pretty dry climate.  I was fine then but we got home yesterday and I awoke this morning with a smallish headache that (you know the tune) I hope it will go away and not escalate. Am I allergic to my house?  My climate all of a sudden?  My doctor didn’t think allergies have a lot to do with migraine  ( I mentioned that Claritin d often helps and he said he didn’t feel allergies were a factor) but I have The whole camping weekend I did not sleep well, was cold, uncomfortable (well typical camping in a tent!) one night there were wild partiers up all night. but I still felt fine head-wise.  Last night I slept  most of the mk

Response:

Glad to hear your headache is better today.  I have an awful one now, and am blaming it on stress and the humid air…plus we are getting thunderstorms soon.   It’ll be cooling off, so I’ll bet the barometric pressure change will make my headache active again.    Yuck Yuck for me                 Happy Happy for you!!!

Response:

well I feel just dandy today.  Who knows- maybe it was one of those stress get the feather bed off my bed and slept way propped up last mk

hmm I don’t know.  We have a relatively new house, and have done some remodeling and in tearing out walls have seen no problems. The worst is the window frames tend to get a bit of mildew but I am at them with Clorox as often as I see it. (My son has allergies.)  No basement.  Wish we did have one but them  again if we did it may be a problem anyway, eh?

Am I allergic to my house? Is it possible that you have a mould problem in your house? (Due to your damp environment near Seattle) I have a friend who gets migraines any time she’s near any kind of damp mouldy basements or barns. Dana

Has anyone just had sinus pain? my nose is acting like it is a dry winter.. bloody snot in the morning (even with using humidifier). I still take my zyrtec 10mg at night. I hadnt’ been using my rhinocort ..thinking it would make things worse.  I do feel better today since we had a big storm last night.. guess it could be the weather? tracey

Response:

  urgh.  Maybe its a bad summer worldwide? Maybe its a global warming issue? Who knows?  I know I had to resort to zomig again though.  And I took the feather mattress off my bed.  I have had it two years and have washed it once a year.  Did that last week and finally put it back and it really stinks so even though I had hung it out for a week ( bringing it in and draping it out in the house at night) I am thinking it still is damp or even mk
