Has your friend looked into nasal washes? Another group I'm in has
been discussing this in detail and though I havn't tried it yet I plan
to. Have been looking for a "neti pot" online. There is a lot of info
out there on the web.


One of our MD clients (a nose & throat specialist) developed some
products like that. He pays a couple people in our office to handle
orders for him, and there certainly seem to be a lot of satisfied
(repeat) customers. Check out
http://www.hydromedonline.com/index....r=google_hma12


I have one of the earlier versions of their products that attaches to a
water pik. It looks like they still sell that attachment. It is easy
to use and when I have sinus problems, I put that thing right on. I
keep some salt and a measuring spoon in the bathroom so I can make up
the solution easily. It will make it so I can breathe when nothing else
will, especially with a bad cold. And it seems so much more convenient
than a neti pot. My ENT gave me mine before he retired. It was a
standard thing for him to do - everyone he treated got one.

THere was just a note posted on the message board for feline asthma about a
cat that had terrible asthma and they couldn't find an allergy that would
cause so much havock. Come to find out there has been a gasleak in the
house. Since fixing the cats episodes have decreased greatly. Maybe your
friend is having trouble with fumes of some kind rather than allergens? I'd
sure mention it.

Hi the

My asthmatic friend phoned after she had her allergist appointment, the

one
she's been waiting for one year to have. The allergist says that she is
allergic to absolutely NOTHING. Not dogs, not cats, not grasses, moulds,

or
anything else.

He couldn't explain why she has such severe rhinitis and asthma symptoms

in
the absence of the allergies.

Apparently, rehoming old Smokey isn't going to make a whit of difference.

I swear its you guys. It's also because of you that my son was only
allergic to dogs for so long and not cats (the allergist was dumbfounded)
and why he's holding out so beautifully now. I swear it's the power of
purr.

Thank you,

Susan M

What a relief! I hope they find the reason why she is having such problems.
Purrs and best wishes,

Default cat scan OT

Yes, it was clear. We are now operating on the premise I have IBS.
Better than it could be! I'm feeling marginally better anyway. I have
another appt. tomorrow.

Wonderful news!! I'm so glad she can keep her cat!! And purrs that your son
continues being well BTW I've been very very sneezy following the
cyclone, and am hoping I'm not becoming dust allergic. I've never been
pollen or anything allergic, but several other family members are dust
allergic and I have had constantly blocked sinuses and sneezing for weeks
now. I just started a herbal anti allergenic tablet, which seems to be
he;lping some, but do you have any advice re what else to use??


Mucinex!! I swear by it. It's managed to keep me nearly sinusitis-free
for years.
