WOW, MX7 . . . that is GREAT news.

For several of my allergies, including mold, antihistimines help a lot with the symptoms; hives, runny nose, itching, itchy eyes, sneezing, throat swelling, breathing difficulties, etc. However, with fragrances, which cause a instant headache for me, antihistimines don't seem to help at all for that symptom.

My daughter was born with a ton of allergies, and they say most times the parents have allergies as well. Of course I tried to blame that on her dad , because I was so out of touch with my body. I didn't even recognize the reactions I had to things (except fragrances and soaps ~ I always knew about those).

After developing sinus polyps, which caused constant sinus infections, I was told to test for allergies. I had lots . Now that I am aware of the symptoms, I KNOW when my allergies are acting up, even if I don't always know what the exposure was that caused the reaction.

Hope this discovery helps your headaches!
