Thanks for sharing your experiences!...Hi Louise :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences! When I was younger the cats were never allowed in my room and I'd very seldom pick them up because I'd get sneezy but now it's just ridiculous :( rabbits are the worst for me! I remember being about 8 and picking up my friends' rabbit and my eyes swelled shut instantly. I couldn't see for ages! So yep, never touched a rabbit since.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028427818355761409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463988665912494503.post-60551458650954233072013-04-29T12:16:29.193+01:002013-04-29T12:16:29.193+01:00I've always had animal allergies, which starte...I've always had animal allergies, which started with dog allergies as a child. I do have a pet cat, and I'm not too bad with her, but I dont let her sleep on my bed and I wash my hands after petting her. We did have a rabbit, which I was very allergic to, but she lived in the garden. When I cleaned her out, I would sneeze and cough for about an hour afterward!<br /><br />Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469340247407868766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463988665912494503.post-89967182304878417502013-04-28T07:37:05.858+01:002013-04-28T07:37:05.858+01:00Thanks for your comment :) Apart from steroid crea...Thanks for your comment :) Apart from steroid creams and rigorously applying white soft paraffin, I haven't been able to find anything that helps me, annoyingly. My eczema will always come back for one reason or another. I am looking into possibly trying acupuncture in the future but I don't have any money to do it right now.xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028427818355761409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463988665912494503.post-56566465683439112582013-04-28T05:31:39.307+01:002013-04-28T05:31:39.307+01:00I know quite a lot of people who have eczema, it s...I know quite a lot of people who have eczema, it seems common, and most times you never know because there are a lot of products out there. Do they work for you?<br /><br />I have no allergies that I know of, well, except sometimes when I eat tomatoes raw my outer lips start itching a little, it's weird!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463988665912494503.post-69750487643989494062013-04-27T20:22:58.360+01:002013-04-27T20:22:58.360+01:00I was having a good week up until this evening whe...I was having a good week up until this evening where my skin has just gone BOOM! Grr. My cat allergy is quite strange as I've grown up with at least 1 cat always present so the fact that I am now unable to share a room with one is just mind blowing. I do admit that I've always suffered from sinusitis but I just put it down to hay fever and the like, I didn't know I had any allergy whatsoever until it came up in blood tests.<br /><br />He didn't walk, he ran :p hehe! But thank you anyway. I'm proud of him too! He's got another run tomorrow whilst I'm having to work so good luck to him.<br /><br />Yeah, summer is literally my idea of hell too :( not fair. Wish we could be the lucky people who's skin gets better in the summer months! Oh well! :p<br /><br />Glad you're alright anyway xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028427818355761409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463988665912494503.post-42273139407440302972013-04-26T22:10:45.602+01:002013-04-26T22:10:45.602+01:00Hi Jenny, so glad to hear you are having a good we...Hi Jenny, so glad to hear you are having a good week.It makes a huge difference.Wow, your pet allergies are frightening... I hope you can enjoy time with your mum without that added stress. I am also allergic to dog dander buy I just could not get rid of (as suggested by my GP) my dog of 17 years old this month who lives inside.Exactly half my life with me!!Well done to your partner on his wonderful walk.Great achievement. I read with interest your post on being away from home and coping with the skin routine.If I go somewhere without a bath I nearly cry as that is essential. Anyway I am not too bad this week. Now that Summer time is looming, that is another problem as cannot take heat/eyes watering (not that we get heat here in Ireland!).Take care and keep up your brilliant posts. I love them:) Aoibheann xAoibheannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445330431686076308noreply@blogger.com
