All the sudden I have crazy allergies at night and it's driving me cuckoo bananas

i can't figure it out. is it dust mites? i wake up sneezing, asthmatic, totally pathetic. mostly when i'm at my house but sometimes other places too.

does anyone else have this problem?

miserable :( :( :(

Could be dust mites, but you might want to get tested to try and pinpoint it.

you mean i MITE want to get tested right

maybe your bol is getting irritated

Hey I've had EXACTLY this over the last 2-3 weeks. Very miserable cos of it. I wondered if it was something to do with our heating or something. Sloc, where are you based?

Couldn't be further away. I'm sort of allergic to house dust, but not usually this bad and it kind of happened out the blue. This sucks.

what are we going to do!

one possibility is fungus/mold in your HVAC

had this last year when I was staying for a month in a guesthouse with a questionable AC unit

cleared up when I moved into a new flat w/ a new AC unit

i dont have an AC

its really only in my bedroom too which is the funny thing...

u need...

a HOUSE

Don't have a need for AC where I live, so that's not it. We do have a walk-in shower direct from our bedroom though??

(i had a weird thing last week where i put on a sweater i haven't worn since the spring, and immediately started sneezing, eyes watering, the whole deal, so i took it off and resolved to take it to the cleaners. no idea what's on it, but it's been in a box for about 3 months so probably some kind of mold or mites or something)

mold/fungus can grow in places that are not an AC unit

for example somewhere moldy

i know a guy who bought himself a cheap-ass house in a dubious neighborhood, and only discovered about 6 months later that it's full of mold. the walls probably all need to be ripped out and replaced, but he can't afford to do it.

so he just tries not to spend too much time at home, i think...

i woke up this morning and i was like maybe i should sleep on the couch :( :( :(

Because our shower, you literally walk into it directly from the bathroom... so I have a feeling condensation has been building up on the wall running immediately fromt he shower and creating mildew. It's a stupid place to have a shower to be honest. I'll try cleaning it. How do you clean mildew off of paint/wallpaper though?

i sleep in my shower btw

i have an unventilated shower/bathroom right next to my bedroom. i noticed that, especially on colder days, the vapor was all condensing in the bedroom and making the bed clammy. so i bought a little dehumidifier that i run after taking a bath or shower, seems to be working.

pro tip, you can lick the mildew off paint/wallpaper if you have willy wonka wallpaper #chocolatefactory

also i pulled a muscle in my back and im in pain

Had this problem, turned out I was allergic to the washing powder I was using for my bedheets/pillows.

hmmm im not using anything new

Has it recently gotten cold enough to start a heater at night? Maybe your sinuses are dried out from heat/dry air.

it has. i wonder if that could be it though, as its triggering my asthma too.

sucks to your ass mar

*washes duvet*

can you do the asterisk thing if you actually do the thing in real life

make a little popping sound with your mouth, then do the thing, then make the little popping sound again

Was chiming in to say i have allergies to duck/goose down and that I switched to hypoallergenic stuff and have no probs with it but looks like you have that covered?

I HAVE PURCHASED SALINE NOSE SPRAY!~~~~~~

and ya im down with no down

ok so i dont know if it was airing out my room, washing my duvet (the thing itself, not the cover, which i rarely do and which was probably pretty mite-y), or squirting salt up my nose, but i definitely had a better night :D !

I washed my pillows, but because I don't have a tumble dryer they now smell of damp which isn't helping anything :-( #idiotthinkthingsthroughnexttime
