So for the past 6 months I have woken up each morning with my nose stuffed most unpleasantly. After having used enough decongestants to make all the meth in the American midwest, I went to a doctor. The doctor suggested that it might be allergies and ran a blood test.
Boy howdy, she was right. I am allergic to the following:
Cats
Dogs
Dust mites
More kinds of grass than I knew existed
All kinds of trees
ffffffffffffffff.
This thread is here to discuss how allergies ruin your quality of life and allow you to whine about illnesses with other legitimately sick people.
tl;dr: I am allergic to the following:
and want to discuss it among the internets.
I thought I was allergic to cats and dogs, then last year I moved from Washington to Arizona and discovered that cats are awesome and I am allergic to anything that is green and grows.
sometimes i'll just bust out in hives and get chest pains

Kids are all "Save the environment!" and then they find out about allergies and they are all "BURN IT TO THE GROUND"

I don't have any environmental allergies, however, I'm pretty allergic to Demerol, it has a nasty effect of killing me. Or at least causing my breathing to cease up, thankfully there's only been one case and that was nineteen years ago.

I'm allergic to cigarette smoke in that I have a mild form of asthma that goes batshit crazy around irritants like smokes or grass.

i have a mild allergy to dustmites, but that hasn't really been a problem since our house is tiled and wood-panelled in all but one room. Also I like to keep things clean and not live in filth.
Not being a lazy, filthy slob helps, is what I'm saying.

My son has a hand full of allergies. Things like peanuts, tree nuts, dogs, cats, dust, mold, grass, trees and his sweat. He's on a couple of medications and he gets an allergy shot every week. He also gets a new kind of allergy shot called Xolair every other week. It's three injections and they're the consistency of Karo syrup. They seem to hurt pretty bad while he's getting them but they have worked better than anything else he's been on. It feels like a lot for a ten year old kid to have to deal with but then I think of my friend's 24 year old son with the stage 3 brain tumor and it doesn't seem so bad. It kind of puts things in perspective, you know?

You're allergic to the absence of semen in and on you.
that sounds like a challenge
So now I don't have allergies!
bring it, bitch
are you allergic to the accidental insertion of knives in your face? i bet you are.
Well this isn't a cancer thread now is it.
you're allergic to uncertainty
nope, might feel a little bit ticklish, but wouldn't call that an allergic reaction
congratulations, you're cured
going to your grandparents' farm as a child will do that 8-)
The thing I said was about allergies as well as cancer
I am on topic
Stop persecuting me, facist
You want to see fascism, I will break out my fascism stick.
You haven't seen fascism until you have seen my fascism stick.
No sir I am actually a person.
When I went back and reread my post, for a moment I thought I'd written faggot instead of facist
JAH
i wanna take a ride on your fascist stick

My eyes start crying and my nose starts running. I also get really, really irritable.
I also get this with certain pollens, and it's worse if I', living with pets, but it's over all pretty mild. But goddamn do I hate MJ.
Also, Bee Stings and Aspirin can kill me. I wear a bracelet and everything.
