Hi all,
First of all, I want to apologize that I haven’t posted in quite a while. I’m in a new position at work that doesn’t leave me with much spare time. I do still lurk when I can.
I wanted to reach out to you today on a non-diamond related topic. My DH’s allergies have been especially bad lately & he finally went in for an allergy test. Turns out, he’s highly allergic to cats even though he’s had them on & off since he was 18. Oddly enough, he was diagnosed with psoriasis when he was 18 as well & his allergist thinks this might not be a coincidence—that perhaps he’s suffering from a severe allergy, maybe not psoriasis at all. He’s going in for more tests tomorrow, so we should have more information soon, but I’ve been worried sick about his health & at the thought having to give up our sweet kitty. (He hasn’t mentioned doing this & I assume it would be an absolute last resort, but it’s still a scary though.)
Do any of you have advice on coping with cat allergies? Any tips & tricks or miracle cures? I’d really appreciate any help you could offer.
Here’s a picture of our kitty, Bella.
