Question #1:

What can I change in my diet to help alleviate dark circles under my eyes?

I don't give myself enough time to eat correctly, I'll admit it; I live on noodles and microwave meals. Although I don't have any food allergies that I know about, and I'm not vegetarian or anything.

I don't allow time for my 5 portions of fruit & veg a day, either. I feel as though I'm answering my own question here, but fire away, please. :)

Question #2:

Whats wrong with my eyes?

For about a year now every morning when i go out my eyes water, its getting quite embarassing because it looks like im crying all the time. Does any one have any idea what could be causing this , i know its not an allergy and its not an infection its last for about 30 mins every morning when i go outside... Any ideas?

Question #3:

Something I should worry about or just Baby Acne?

First of all can a 3 week old have an allergic reaction?

We have 2 dogs and it may just be my paranoia of the fear of losing them, but I'm scared she may be developing allergies to them with these bumps.

Right when she turned 3 weeks old she started getting red bumps on the bridge of her nose and on her cheeks. then I noticed there are some bumps on her ears, on her forehead, and even her scalp. I even noticed 1 or 2 on her neck.

I talked to my mom who is nurse and she assures me its just baby acne and its rather common (infact she said my daughters cousin had it really bad compared to my daughter.)

We were actually at the pediatricians the other day when it was at its worst and he didn't say anything about it.

So I am wondering if I am over reacting or if I should be concerned and call the pediatrician back.

It looks the worst after she has cried, they don't seem to be bothering her (as far as being itchy), and it doesn't seem to be spreading to anywhere but her face.


Here are some photos (honestly it looks redder in person than in the photos)

my eyes are dry, not from the drops, just in general...
can i use visine, like for allergies, thats what i usually use but i don't know if it will hurt my eye. lol
what to do...
wow, thanks for answering my question. congrats on the well deserved two points! :)

Question #8:

PLEASE HLP! I need it bad......?

My dad gets to upset to easy, I think...
I'll post a conversation up so you all can see.
Me: What are you doing? :)
Him: (Sitting at computer) Different things. :|
Me: What? :|
Him: It doesn't matter! I'll do what I want to do, and I don't want to be asked a million questions every time I try to do something.
I gave you an answer and it's the answer I want you to have, stop asking me questions all the time. >:0
Me: I was just trying to talk to you!
Him: Still, you don't have to ask me "What are you doing" every two minutes.

And another time, our puppies were trying to get in, and they ARE aloud, but we have another dog who we have to keep in her own room, (The room I'm in now.) so she doesn't hurt them, because she is territorial, and we have to get her used to them.
Me: Daddy!
Him: I'm on the phone!
Me: This is important!
Him: Hush!
Then my friends dad went and checked to make sure Anna was put up, and she was, so the pups came in.
Later;
Me: Daddy, when I was calling you earlier it was important. Lives were at stake.
Him: No they were not. (He said it like, no, they, were, not. My friend was right beside me, she even agreed with me.)
Me: yes they were!
Him: Who?
Me: The puppies! I was trying to get you to make sure Anna was put up so she wouldn't kill them! (I was near tears, because he never listens and he kept yelling at me in front of my friend.)
Him: Well.
Then he walked away.
One more example, I was really REALLY tired and I was aching all over, and I was dizzy because of my allergies, and I asked him to get me something to drink, he said no.
Later, I asked him to make me something to eat, and he said no.
I asked my mom to, he yelled at me.
I asked him again, because when I get hungry, I feel like I'm going to throw up, and I couldn't do it myself because I was so dizzy.
He said no and to stop asking. Even after I told him what was wrong!
My little sister offered to, (So sweet!) but she's to little to make anything.
I told her, "No, I can just ask mama to when she gets home." And I heard my dad slam a door shut, and walk to the kitchen.
He had heard me, and made me something AFTER I said that so she wouldn't be mad at him.

Does this sound at all fair?
Am I just over reacting?
If not, what should I do?
Talking to him doesn't help, as you can see, and my mother just says, "Well?"
They both also call me lazy, a brat, my mom has called me a ***** and my dad has told me I act like my EXTREMELY bratty and bitchy cousin.
Is this emotional abuse?
What should I do!
Please help, I'm crying all the time now, and when I tell my mom, she doesn't care.

Question #9:

Am I overreacting to this, my dad.....?

***** means B!#(.
It marked itself out osmehow.

Question #10:

Allergies/hay fever if no red, watery itchy eyes?

My sinuses get really congested a few times a year (maybe sinus infection, which I know can be triggered by an allergic reaction). I'm wondering if I have hay fever.

I stay indoors most of the time. Although I sneeze occassionally and get really congested with sinus headaches, I don't ever have red, watery or itchy eyes.

What is this???
I also experience a lot of postnasal drip and sometimes a sore throat because of it - but usually not an itchy throat.

Question #11:

This person at work wears this box type fan round her neck...?

What is it? I am so curious but she's scary so I daren't ask her!

It is this black box and she wears it round her neck and it makes a noise that sounds like it is blowing air into her face so I assume that's what it is doing. She also wears an allergy bracelet if that has anything to do with it.

So curious! Any ideas as to what it could be?

Man, I'm so nosy!!

Question #12:

Think my infant daughter might be having allergies to the dogs? How would I know. What to do if she is?

I think my infant daughter might be having allergies to one or both of our dogs. How would I figure it out for sure. What to do if she is?

And if she is having allergy problems to one or both of the dogs, what are some things I can do to lessen the effect?

(Don't have any intention of getting rid of my dogs, unless I have no other option...as in its absolutely to dangerous to keep them around her, which I seriously doubt is the case)


My daughter is 3 weeks old and she has break out on her face, little red bumps. Doctor said its most likely just baby acne but I'm not sure. She started getting this last Wednesday/Thursday. Right at 3 weeks from the time she was born.
.
Here is the thing when we were out all day Saturday and Sunday it started to clear up. We get back home around the dogs and it wasn't long after both dogs greeted her that her face started getting the bumps again. She has a lot of bumps today


We have 2 dogs a Minature Poodle and a Terrier mix. (The Terrier mix is a high shedder)

Our poodle is always nearby, whereever she is. He is always right there. (Supervised ofcourse)

I'm wondering if its him.....

Now don't go saying you can't be allergic to a poodle because I am. I'm not so much allergic to him as everything he brings in on his coat. Right now I can't even be around him, spring has sprung here and pollen is bad. (Also he gets that grass stains on his feet from the fresh cut grass, I'm allergic to fresh cut grass too)

Our Terrier sheds up a storm but I keep the place dusted and vacuumed daily but I've never had any allergy problems with her. And she is rarely around my daughter.

My husband isn't allergic to anything.

So how would we go about finding out if my daughter is allergic, she is a little too young for allergy testing?

And what can we do to help if she is?


_____________________
I'm hoping the doc is right and its just baby acne, but if not he does have an allergy specialist on staff.


____________________________________
Anyways thanks so much and if you have been through this you advice is much appreciated.

I'm not so sure its the dogs but perhaps whatever allergen my poodle is brining in on his coat. (The same one that I can't get near him right now over)
Lizzie: Didn't you read the whole thing? I have talked with the doctor, he isn't concerned right now...but I still am.

I'm just scared i'm going to end up having to give up the dogs or something.

I just need advice on how to lessen the allergen exposure that the dogs might be giving. Any special cleaning products or stuff.

(If this doesn't clear up soon or get worse I am going to take her back to the pediatrician)
I was told she is too young for an allergy test

Question #13:

Is a 4 year old child acting depressed or withdrawn a sign of abuse?

i am concerned about a child in my extended family who seems to be unusually withdrawn-uninterested, kind of depressed... He is only 4 and all the children I know of that age, seem to be full of life. He also has really pink/dark circles under his eyes- not like bruises, but very noticeable. He doesn't smile much and the more I see him the more withdrawn he seems- as he ages I mean. I don;t know what could be causing the circles- they have been there since last year and are getting worse- He doesn't seem to have allergies.
I have other reasons to suspect abuse, but no proof and I rarely see this family enough to know for sure.

Question #14:

What is considered an allergic reaction to ecstasy?

I ask so many of these questions...
My face got kind of swollen but that was partially because I couldn't stop sucking and biting on my left cheek. I felt totally fine at first but then I started to vomit (I know that's normal, although it's the first time it's happened to me), I don't even remember the night very well but every nerve in my body felt like it was being dragged over razor blades, which maybe was my imagination.
At some point it was really difficult to breathe, that's the second or third time I've had the breathing reaction though.
I know I shouldnt take it again, but I want to know if it's allergies or just a bad trip?

Question #15:

What kind of dog should I get?

My mom and I have allergies, so no shedding dogs. We want one that is alert, but nice and playful!

Question #16:

babies and allergies to cats and dogs?

when a baby is allergic to cats or dogs, what kind of reaction would they have? would it be just sneezing, watery eyes, etc or could they develop a rash? and also, could a baby be allergic to one cat, and not allergic to another cat or would they be allergic to any and all cats?
i dont have any cats or any animals but we took her over to my cousins house yesturday and she has a cat. we only stayed for probably 30 minutes but when we got home, we noticed she was getting a rash on her back and didnt know if it could possibly be from the cat or something else
we called her pediatrician and he said that without seeing it, he couldnt accurately diagnose but it sounded like an ellergic reaction to something. he told us to take her home and give her a bath and see if it clears up. this morning it wasnt as red so im thinking it could have been the cat

Question #17:

Can someone correct my English?

"what am I doing now?"
I am drinking a can of cocoa which I bought at a vendor machine on the second floor in my company building. It is of a famous bland and pretty delicious.
My pollen allergy is well controlled by medicines, I don't concern about it at all today.

Question #18:

my nose is ALWAYS red...i have no idea why! help?

I have no allergies whatsoever...my nose i just red. If it's sunny or cold, it's red! People always ask me if I'm sick and I'm not :( & I'm positive i dont get sunburned because it gets redder when I'm indoors too! I don't wear makeup or put anything on my face...so i don't know what it is...anyone have any ideas to what my condition is?

Question #19:

Allergy shot recommendation?

I have not had an allergy shot in 7 months but have been on shots for several years. Initially I started in Pennsylvania for a few years and was at maintinence but then moved to Texas and have been here a year and a half now. I almost reached the maintinence dose (a couple shots away) and then returned to college and haven't gotten a shot in 7 months. I am now starting to see a few signs that allergies are affecting me and am apprehensive of getting a shot for fear of a major reaction. Any ideas as to what I should do?
I've had allergy pills such as zyrtec and claritin but my allergies are extreme even to allergists so I feel I need to get back to the shots but am apprehensive of doing so because of the high dose of allergens

Question #20:

Help, my allergic reaction is out of control?

I am fourteen and I am experiencing very upsetting allergy symptoms.
Don't worry its not too bad, I can breathe.

I have no idea what it is. At first I thought it was hay fever, but its not hay fever season where I live.

These symptoms reoccur all the time. I have allergy tablets like every two days, for it to stop.
It may go away for a day, then it will come back.

I get swollen, red itchy eyes that water.
I get a sore itchy throat.
I sneeze constantly.
I have a rash under my eyes.
I get sleepy and cranky.

Please I have no idea what it could be.
I asked my mom to take me to the doctor but she says, he won't be able to do anything.
I have no idea what i could be allergic too.

I know I am allergic to Labrador dog hair.
But nobody here has a labrador.

So what else could it be?
We haven't changed anything out of the ordinary.
