Another year of winter allergies!

Every year around this time I start getting asthma related itchy eyes and breathing problems. I guess it's because I'm allergic to dust mites. I take a drug for this but it still doesn't help being uncomfortable. If we could afford hardwood floors through out our house this would help. I can picture myself sleeping in the kitchen this winter. lol! Seriously sometimes it's a pain in the butt waking up and my eyes are all closed shut with eye crusties. I'm also allergic to grass. When I heard I was allergic to grass it came to me when I was a teenager playing soccer I didn't understand why my nose was runny and my eyes hurt and for the whole soccer season why I was itchy. It was crazy and now I understand why. After J was born I got tested for allergies because at the time I thought my health problems extended to being allergic to things. Good news I didn't have any serious allergies but learned I am allergic to dust mites and grass. To me it's just weird with these two things but what can you do. Sometimes it looks like I've been crying for hours because my eyes look puffy and blood shot. Hey, I can say I'm just an emotional person. I got my EEG test back and my brain waves are normal. That's good news and I don't have Celiac Sprue disease which was a blessing for me. I don't know if I could totally take Gluten out of my diet because I love carbs. I'm still anemic and this coming week I have my Hematologist appointment. I'm going to ask to be tested for copper deficiency anemia. Wouldn't that be cool not that I want to be copper deficient but it would rule why I'm anemic and this whole time I'm taking a pharmacy of iron which in copper deficiency anemia iron makes your anemia worse. It could explain why I've been getting worse and not better lately. I don't mind being normal and each blood test comes back saying this is great but for my sanity I want to know what is up with this anemia thing. I bought a bead magazine. Some of the products displayed in it are so beautiful but way advanced for me. I like the advertising of stores but what drives me crazy is going to websites who state they have a huge selection of beads and only show pictures and not their selection. That's not going to help me any. In the advertisement it reads online store so you think great you can buy beads or see samples of the large selection they carry and nothing. Don't waste my time coming to your website to see your nice pictures and your address. Doesn't help me when I'm in Oregon and your place is like in Maryland. It's not like I'm going to drive to your store to see your collection of beads. I want to see product people. Show me your bead selection or go away. Oh well, I'm going to Micheal's tonight to see what they carry and their collection. Hey I may pick up something. Well I'll have to end this post with my sad sorry eyes, itchy skin and I have to stop thinking of having to get my blood tested again this coming week for all the lovely monthly tests. Bla!. oh the kids are coming down with colds. How fun for me :) Take care!!!!!
