I'm pretty sure.. almost positive that I'm allergic to my dog. I got him almost 3 years ago and have noticed that during that time period, my 'seasonal' allergies (which should only be dormit in the spring because the testings showed I was allergic to trees at that time) have gotten increasingly worse since I got him. I've also noticed that during the times when he sheds very heavily (summer and winter), are the times where my allergies are the worst. I've never been tested for pet allergies, but am starting to wonder if I should start taking something for that specific kind of allergies and see if it helps. I've tried pretty much every nasal spray, puffer and pill and none seem to work. My allergies (and asthma now) keep getting increasingly worse. Everyone always thinks I'm sick with a cold because I'm so filled up all the time. I can't even remember the last time I could breathe through my nose. I could never ever get rid of my dog and am hoping that there has got to be some sort of pill or spray I can take that's specifically for pet induced allergies? Anyone know of any good ones or tips I can do to lessen the effect of the allergies? I notice that my anxiety and insomnia seem to be worse during the times that my allergies are real bad because I feel like I'm not getting enough air when I breathe. My asthma has also never been this bad before. I know the cold weather is definitely a factor for asthma problems, but I remember last winter, even on the coldest days, I only had to use my inhaler once or twice a week. Now I'm using it 2-3 times a day. I am not sure but wondering if maybe the allergies are what's making my asthma worse?

Any suggestions or tips on what I can do to help myself be able to breathe better during these times? Thanks!
