why do you want to live with your girlfriend when she has a dog --- find someone less kinky and more aware of your needs and phobias

Your greatest indicator will be your family history. Now, I've been told that children outgrow allergies, and then I've been told that allergies can worsen over time. Here's my experience.\n\nMy aunt and great aunt both have severe hay fever (pollen bloom allergies), and when I was tested at about 14, it turns out my allergies were MAJORLY grasses, some trees, and some molds.\n\nRecently, I went and had another test done. I'm 26. I have even more severe grass allergies than before, but my molds and trees have gone down a little. I used to also have a mild allergy to cats, but that's gotten even more mild. Here's the part where I started to get a little choked up. My doctor told me I'm starting to develop an allergy to dogs. I about lost it in the clinic, because I love dogs so much, but fortunately, it's very mild and doesn't affect me too bad. \n\nSo apparently it IS possible to develop an allergy to dogs, but a GREAT suggestion is to look for a dog with minimal dander. Golden Retriever? Yorkie? Shih Tzu? Pomeranian? All BAAAD choices. I'd stick with something hypo-allergenic like a pug, dachsund, beagle, or short haired chihuahua.\n\nHope this helps! Vote for me as best answer, I'm trying to get my level up! ;-)

find what you're allergic to & stop doing/taking/exposing yourself to it.

there is a wonderful cookbook called "The Allergy Free Cookbook"  you can very likely get it inexpensively on eBay.  One of my daughters has celiac type allergies and  is allergic to eggs and my other daughter has some opposite allergies on top of that I babysit a child who has completely different food allergies from my two.  This book covers all th major allergies and gives suggestions for substitutions in popular dishes.  This helps me a lot because I never know what to use in place of soething that I cannot use.  \nAlso, check out Namastefoods.com  they sell mixes for breads, pizza crust, muffins, etc that are all wheat, gluten, egg, dairy, potato,corn and soy free.  This is wonerful because my daughter cannot have wheat or corn and many of hte gluten free products I find have cornstarch or corn productsi n them.  The mixes they offer are really good too- you are definitely not giving up taste.\nAnother suggestion I have is The Gluten Free Gourmet books-  she has some great recipes and when you learn what you can substitute for dairy you can really put these recipes to good use.  DOnt be afraid to experiment in the kitchen.\nIf you like soy sauce (a big no no for a GF diet- try Tamari sauce in its place- this is good for chicken or beef stir fry with veggies- very easy to cook and my whole family loves it.\nMarinate some chicken in Tamari and put it on the grill.\nPasta- instead of regular wheat pasta try Tinkyada- it is made with brown rice flour- it has a slightly different texture but tastes great.  We generally use brown rice, brown rice pasta, and potatos as our starch, oyu can cook up any vegetable that is acceptable for her dietary needs and there are tons of ways to season and dress up chicken and beef-  for gravies, use arrowroot and or any of the acceptable GF flours to thicken it up.  \nIt can be very challenging but when you figure out and can focus on what you can use rather than what you cannot- it gets a lot easier\nAnother thing, if eggs are on the no no list, there are some pretty decent egg replacers out there - for baking oyu can even replace 2 eggs with 4 -6 tbsp of flax seed blended with 1 cup of water.\nCoconut milk can be used to replace regular milk in almost any recipe.

Next time she spreads her legs, wear a respirator. It's like a gas mask, with clean air filters. You can buy one at your local hardware store. But I am sorry to say, she smells nasty because while you are gone, she gangbangs the neighborhood, and they don't pull out. I wouldn't kiss her if I were you.She is nasty.

Sorry, but it sounds like he has allergic reactions to these two food groups.  Only treatment is avoidance.  Given his severe symptoms, he should be motivated to do so!

Withhold any form of affection. That usually works. Or if you're really smart about it, you'll accidently let loose the dogs somewhere in a desolute forest or park of some sort.

Your best bet would be to go with a short haired variety, and to take it to get a bath and groomed on a weekly basis. Also, don't let it sleep with you or anything. Also, you can get a HEPA filter to remove some of it from the air. Another option if you are allergic to dander is to get allergy shots. They worked wonders for me!

First, see a doctor.  Second, if she truly loves you, she won't go.  I am in same situation with my fiance and I wouldn't leave him for anything.

Best cure is to get rid of the dog, its very cruel but true. There are some treatmants for it but that is to be asked at your doctor. No matter what medication you take, if you don't take awy the cause of it, it will alwyas be there. And if you look at all the disadvantages the medication can bring you. You should ask yourself the question, the dog or feeling miserable of allergy. I know I have a terruble cat allergy myself. Its not that i don't like them but I will avoid them at any costs because I know it makes me very ill and miserable. You can also have a test done by your specialist or doctor to determine the severness of the allergy. I would advice you to do what suits you best.good luck. Allergys are possible to cure ask your docto for dome advice.

She digested something she is allergic to. To be on the safe side, bring her to see the family doctor or to a near by walk in clinic, to check it out, if it reoccurs.\nGod bless us all...

I think you are working this backwards.  How about finding a woman who finds you interesting...give her something to respect about you...the love usually follows.  If she loves you..she will love that which makes you whole and happy.\n\nYou don't want here falling in love with you because of your dogs...you want her love you and what comes with that.\n\nGood Luck!!!

I was on the other side of your situation. I am allergic to certain types of perfume. A co-worker of mine came into work wearing the type I am allergic too. (It smelled really bad but that's another story). I told her I was allergic to it and she said she wouldn't wear it any more. I figured issue over. Two days later I came to work and she was spraying herself with it in her office which is next door to mine. I ended up spending about five hours in the hospital and couldn't work for three days because my reaction was so severe. She is a pretty horrible person and my employer told her that if she couldn't be sensitive to those around her she would be looking for alternate employment. She didn't do it again but for it to come to that was really sad. It really changed our relationship and her relationship with our other co-workers. She knowingly made me sick and that's really inexcusible. \n\nAs far as your situation goes, maybe it is your perfume and maybe it isn't, but why would you want to risk making someone else sick. You may be getting annoyed, but she's sick... which is worse. I would suggest you don't wear the perfume to work that way it can't be your fault and she has nothing to blame you for. Wear it in your free time when you won't be around her.\n\nAllergies are unpleasant enough as it is, you shouldn't have to argue with co-workers to do the right thing. If you were allergic to peanuts would you want her coming into your office and eating peanut butter while sitting on your desk. No. The workplace is a place filled with annoyances, what makes us good people is learning to think of others before we think of ourselves and always try to do the right thing.\n\nProbably not what you wanted to hear, but I think you're being incredibly selfish and inconsiderate.

There's this wonderful little device that goes for about 10 or 15 bucks.  Its a motion detector that attaches to a garden hose.  Set it in the yard and point it to detect whenever someone goes through your share of the yard.  Her cats will not cross once they've been sprayed once.  If she turns it off, you should set it so it sprays her before she can get to the valve.  As for the gate, get in her face and demand that she show you the same courtesy she demands of you.  Oh, and go get your dog back.  Borrow somebody's video camera and set it in the window to monitor her behavior toward your dog.  If she is shooting him/her or throwing things at him/her, you have grounds to have her charged with animal cruelty.  Wouldn't that be a gas?  Miss SPCA getting sued for animal cruelty.\nhttp://judgeright.blogspot.com
