if someone were to ask me if i could change one thing about myself i would struggle between two options. 1) not being allergic to dogs 2) having God have made me with bigger boobs. (a little awkward if my dad is reading this...if this is dad, hello!)
until you have had an allergy that prevents you from doing something...i don't think you'll be able to relate to this. i hate having to always ask people if they have a dog at their house or even if they have had one in say the past month there. most people have dogs so it just makes it a huge inconvenience. i have to leave thanksgiving dinner early and christmas breakfast; i can only go to certain friends' houses; never get to stay with kelly or go visit fox. my children will never be able to have a dog, nor will my sister (if she wants me to visit and if she gets a dog i'll get the hint), and nor will my parents (who dad desperately deserves to have his dream of having an english bulldog). i could probably deal with this if it was just itchy eyes and a few sneezes...it's the whole can't breathe that becomes a problem. breathing is important to survival as is food and water, in case you didn't know.
now to the bigger boobs. i would never have cosmetic surgery to fix this...i just wish God had made me that way. God probably knows that I would be a different person and wouldn't be able to handle it ...so I'm positive he knew what he was doing. i've always wanted bigger boobs but can't really give you a reason why, just one of those things. i'm sure other girls can understand this...and probably others think i'm crazy and i should appreciate not having huge cans that are nothing but a pain that cause lots of aches and pains.
so if i had to really really choose i guess i'd go with option 1, but i would give it a lot of thought. kids deserve to be able to have dogs if they want...my kids will have a lot of fishes i guess. how exciting!

Melissa, I am sure people have asked you this 100 times, but have you tried anything prescription? NOt OTC, but prescription-like ALlegra, Zyrtec, or anything like that? I grew up having dogs and at some point around my teen years, began to develop a horrlible allergy to dogs. It devastated me. And like you, I could not even be in the same house, much less go near one. I did the Benadryl for awhile, but got tired of sleeping. then I got allegra, which made a difference and when Claritin went OTC, I have taken that ever since, and we have Scooby, so....now, if i love on her a lot, I still sneeze a lot, but in general, it's okay. Cats are a whole 'nother story-they still make me sick as a dog 9no pun intended). I guess the dander is different. BUt having a small dog helped me. I am not sure if it's an urban legend, but chihuahuas are supposed to be good for asthma, so that is why we got Scooby. Anyway, talk to your doctor-there must be something. I know it saddens you. It saddens me reading about it:(
i took shots for a year and they didn't work. i get asthma when dogs are around, so that is what makes it unbearable. i appreciate your suggestions though.
