A Many Splended Allergens

Decided that I'm done self diagnosing and self medicating with the sinus issues. The acupuncture is helping keep migraines at bay (with today as an exception......). Went to an allergist last week. Results and homework:
House/Dust mites - moderate
Tree Pollen (Oak, Beech) - moderate
Animals (dog, rodents) - mild
Nose treatments:Mucinex-D - 1 in AM and another at 2:00pm
Zyrtec - 1 x dayNasal spray - 4 squirts 4xday
Surgilube - 4 sniffs 4xday
Nasonex - 2 squirts 1xday
NasalCrom - 2 squirts 2xday (then stand on my head for 30 seconds)
All of the above with frequent nose blows
Food journal
Follow-up appt in a month
ACK.
So, I have spent most of the first few days of no-kid freedom ridding my house of bug poop. Cats are helping in that Shadow's digestive system is adjusting to being an outdoor cat, and Natasha had vaccines last week which so do not agree with her tummy. Off to buy a spot carpet/rug shampooer.
Rainy day is good for this!
