Hugs to you. I take Xolair which neutralizes the IgE in my body from going nuts when I am exposed to allergens. When I moved to Texas (Black plains area), I didn't realize every blade of grass was coastal (CAT IV) and every tree was oak based (CAT IV).

Given the warmth of my area (it is like Napa Valley), it grows "all year" That means the only breaks I get is when it is desert mode and a Dec - Feb.

But I am lucky! I have a horse farm where we serve a mix of alfalfa and coastal ... yeah!

P100 masks for me very sexy. I did the work and lost 50lb. Cut out booze, smokes, walked 10K steps a day and actually was doing a million steps every 70-72 days.

Then I hit a brick wall, my wife and doctor were like what happened? Why did you quit and get lazy?

I found out a year later by freak of accident, that my crown had a crack, and my tooth was spewing bacteria massively. Which I ingested into my lungs, and caused the drugs to go full bore.

It was bad enough even with taking special mouthwashes, brushing teeth 3-5x a day and flossing I had severe gingvities (6mm deep). I attacked it with the dentist (special drugs which were silicon antibiotics injected under the gum (let me tell you 90 minutes of fun [ha]) got everything fixed including a root canal later after the tooth succumbed.

2.5 years later I believe I have one (new crown and other work is done) and my gums are like new.

But the problem? 50lb back on, and I get all sorts of great advice from my loved ones. I mutter somedays, when in the history of the world you are fat go do something every helped anyone.

So I have 110% empathy with women (and men) that have to fight that fight especially when their is a medical component (which most times there is).

Keep on fighting you are amazing!
