Hi Girls.
Like an idiot I got my son a kitten yesterday! I was never confirmed as having a cat allergy but when around them I would sneeze, get all bunged up, headache, etc etc and generally felt lousy!!!
It started when I was pregnant so I assumed at some point this weird allergic reaction would stop.
I had an outdoor cat that didnt effect me as much unless he had been sleeping on my bed- and as I had never had a proper diagnosis I was never 100% certain I had this pet allergy!
Well I moved home and sadly my cat ran away so for 2 weeks I have had NO symptoms at all that would point to any kind of allergy, that was until I got the kitten.
Im all bunged up, my face is aching from the sneezing and sniffing, my nose is dripping like a tap and I feel lousy.
I got the kitten because I was never 100& sure I was allergic and I did assume it was something brought on my pregnancy hormones when I had my 2 children and that during the summer it was a simple case of hayfever..
Well its back again now and Im convinced if I dont see a dr and get it diagnosed that it'll kill me
Can cat allergies have that kind of serious side effect on someone? Im well freaking out.
I got some antihestimines so Im hoping that helps but since googling "serious cat allergies" I cant stop thinking it's gonna kill me or something...
