I am allergic to cats and my boyfriend has 4. I haven't really had a problem with them up until now. ( btw I'm visiting him, only been to his house for 2 weeks) I have complete nasal blockage and I've tried all of my allergy medicine but none of it is working! I can't sleep without breathing through my nose, and I can't barely breathe through my mouth. I feel like I could die! I don't feel good at all. I had tried absolutely everything. A Neti pot, allergy medicine, and I ran out of the nasal spray so I'm screwed. I have tried hot steam, showering, but nothing can clear it! It's seriously unfair. I'm 17, and I don't smoke or anything! I know his cats are to blame, but is there anything else I could possibly do to save me from this horrid nightmare? I can't sleep! It's 5:30 in the morning here! I'm just so desperate..

Hi Zora! Welcome to Healthypages :wave: Sounds like you have a full-blown allergy there! Can you move out for a few days - just to let the histamine levels reduce?

Allergy susceptibility tends to be lowered if you are short of vitamin C and zinc. You'll need to be taking a lot of vitamin C to start reducing the histamine levels - probably 6 or more grams a day in divided doses, until your bowels become loose, then reduce by 0.5gm so stools become normal again. Don't have more than a total of 80mg zinc in a day. Trouble is it will take a while (possibly weeks) to reduce but it does work. Meanwhile make sure you reduce your sugar and white flour (bread, pasta, rice) intake and up your fruit and veg to 8 portions daily, mostly fresh, and eat oily fish 2-3 times a week to reduce inflammation. Cut out processed foods. This regime made all the difference to my life with allergies - now they are gone :).

Meanwhile acupressure may help - [url]see here[/url] - but you can google it too. Also try acupuncture or homeopathy, but these require practitioner help.

Hope you get sorted soon

Hi,
I highly suspect those cats, you are definitely allergic to far, One option is too try the raw onions, they work in some cases and fail in other cases. Good luck!
