I grew up in a household that always had two dogs and one cat. I never had problems with allergies until now. Between cold weather induced asthma that just creeped up on me this year, and my girlfriends cat, I can't breathe for shit (especially after a workout).
I currently change out my furnace filters once a month, but I only replace them with relatively cheap filters. I have a new fancy vaccuum cleaner that I use at least once a week. We brush the cat once a week. I have to air purifiers that I clean out every few months. I use an inhaler for temporary relief, but I am wondering if anyone has any other ideas on what I can do to help.
I have heard that the twenty dollar furnace filters do not work that much better than the three dollar ones, especially if they are replaced often enough, and I don't want to go to the doctor so that I can take a pill that I will eventually build a tolerance to so that I need to tak esomething else and be on medication for my whole life..... ya know?
I guess that I am interested in a more holistic approach. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
