Quote:I also get really bad nasal congestion and sneezing fits. I'll be honest man. I started taking Nasalcort since August of last year to help with breathing. It just takes maybe one or two sprays up each nostril. Haven't felt better in years. It'll run you about $15 - $25 at a Walgreens or CVS. It's over the counter. No prescription required. I was allergic to dogs for years and had no clue until my blood work showed that I was last year around June-July. And the doctor told me I had really two options. Either take a medication or get rid of the dog. I obviously chose the spray. It's great man.

 

I used to wonder why I suddenly developed allergies after moving back to Tennessee from Florida. We have bad ragweed and mold from rotting leaves certain times of the year, but I was sneezing and congested all the time. Then I saw my White German Shepherd shake his coat, and the light caught perfectly the cloud of dander floating off his body.

 

That dog has passed on, but I have another German Shepherd as well as a Black Lab. The problem persists, but I love my dogs. I will do what it takes to live as comfortably as possible, but I'm keeping my girls.
