I keep coming back to this thread and I feel so emotionall attached to it for some reason
I've had asthma and allergies all of my life and was always told they were more towards cats.
As an adult, I made a snap decision to add Bentley to my life. With Bentley I never needed any medication.. then I added Emma and started to take meds precationarily (i dont think that's a word :/), then I added Lula and Mckenzie. Now many people thought I was nuts, but at this time I wasn't having any problems and was on 2 meds a day. I was fine w/this.
The past 4 months my asthma and allergies have been absolutely awful. I went to the allergist recently and found out dogs are my highest allergen. It's been a really devestating blow and I've cried many nights about this. I've made the choice to add allergy shots into the medication plan I'm on, but I am still scared that they won't work or I'll get more ill.
I guess I feel terrible because I've always been a "never" person and now that I'm sick all the time, my heart is breaking. I don't want anyone to think that I'm rehoming because I'm not. I'm on 4 medications a day and will soon be getting shots two times a week. It isn't fun but I am doing absolutely everything I can to keep my family together.
I don't like to think what will happen if it doesn't work. It makes my physically ill to think about rehoming my dogs, to not see them everyday... I don't know if it's something I could ever get over.
I'm sorry to get all emotional here, I just keep thinking about myself while I'm reading this.
