Comment on What do allergies feel like for you?

A doc described allergies and migraines the save wash to me - you have a cup and different triggers add a bit to your cup. That cup is your tolerance and you get symptoms when it overflows. It can be really hard to detect your triggers because it’s not just mountain cedar or soy or whatever - is 2% this and 3% that until it’s full. You can try a journal of everywhere you go, everything you eat, when/where you’re outside, etc.; but it’s easier to just take the meds. If you think the meds aren’t working, go off them for a few days and see how terrible you feel. On day 1 i get sniffly. By day 3 I itch so bad i can’t sleep.

That’s a great analogy. It really puts things into perspective that its a combo of many things, not just a couple. Ive stopped all meds a few times since this started and i felt like I was gonna die, so they are for sure helping to some degree. Thanks for your insight!
