My mom has terrible allergies and has since childhood. Every fall and spring her eyes are itchy and her head hurts and she comes down with bronchitis and a sinus infection at least twice every winter. She can’t have any pets with fur or feathers and probably should avoid scales as well. She has food allergies from chocolate to green beans to peaches and a whole lot of places in between. Pile this up with her chemical sensitivity, and travel is a real chore. In the past she has needed at least a week of recovery for any hotel stay.
This summer my mom and I traveled for 13 days in July and August. We were all over the place in hotels, eating out and driving (did I mention the exhaust and the cleaning chemicals at the gas station can set her on a coughing fit). It was a bit scary, heading out into the wide world with my mom, Allergy Queen. Who know when I would have to start carrying her.
Luckily, last year my mom started taking alfalfa to fight her allergies. It has done wonders! She was able to keep up (despite reminding me on several occasions that she’s sixty – as she helped load and unload a car full of camera equipment and ran a headshot booth for 12 hours a day 4 days in a row).
After we got home, I was waiting for the stuffy-headed call, but it never came. She didn’t get sick at all! She was able to go home and get back to work. And even now, as the allergens are driving everyone crazy, she is right as rain. I’m sure the 40+ pounds she’s lost on the Cinch Plan has helped, but losing weight doesn’t keep your eyes from itching.
Let me know if you want to know more about my mom’s amazing, first ever, allergy-free fall! And definitely try Alfalfa (click here for a coupon)
