help husband learn methods to help me with pollen allergies


Posted by misery38

Everyone thinks I cause my allergies, don't understand the pollen on clothes and smoke on clothes, coats, or perfume kill me. Damaged inner lining of nose by working as a beautician for 23 years--1956-1978...raising 4 kids alone...Doctors say there is nothing they can do.  All I ask is cooperation from family.  Mt. Cedar is my killer.  I can handle the others.

Sorry that no one understands. I know what you mean. I've had asthma since I was 7 and I'm now 42. Even my mother (who took me to all the doctors and kept me indoors) doesn't get how bad perfumes, potpourri, and dogs effect me. I can't go to her house anymore. My hubby however, bless his heart, dusts and vacuums the house for me. Thank God for small miracles. : ) 

The way I explained my asthma to my husband was to have him attempt breathing through a wet towel. He got it pretty quick. He still struggles with what triggers my attacks, but he doesn't roll his eyes or give me a funky look like some people do.

Good luck. 

 

I dont ever feel we cause our own allergies, unless one smokes. Then that alone can cause Asthma. Smoking can also kill you, or give you trouble breathing. I have seen people I love die from smoking. It is really horrifying to watch. You can't cause your own allergies, that is no way not true. You can if your around them, bring them on, but you can't like say ok I'm going to be allergic to this or that. No it just happens. Sometimes you can get asthma without even smoking, like I got it. I dont smoke, and I do not hate people that do, I can understand why they do, and yet it is so sad they can't make something that wont kill people in the end. Sorry you don't have much support, I dont either, so your not alone!

oh ! i think his story to be moved. I thing you will lucky in live
