infections or difficulty breathing.

other allergy symptoms several

the-counter medications don't
control your symptoms or create

nant women. I find that working out in
aerobics is the best cure.
"My husband Bernie is also allergic
to molds and uses an inhaler. That
seeins to work for him."
Shirley Rosin of Southfield was sur-
prised when she developed allergies to a
grasses, pollens, molds and perfume as
an adult. "My allergies started soon
after the radiation treatments I had for
breast cancer 12 years ago," she says.
"The assumption is the radiation broke
down some of my immunities. I don't
know if that's correct or not but I've
adjusted to the situation. I don't take
shots but I will use an antihistamine
and eye drops.
"On windy summer days," says
Rosin, "I just don't go outside."
"I try to ignore the symptoms," says
Ina Egnator of Farmington Hills. "I go
to an allergist when the allergies are
very bad, but other than that I sneeze
and my eyes tear and I'll find some-
thing in the drugstore for relief."
The bad news is there is no cure for
allergies. The good news is that they
can be controlled by avoiding the
things that trigger them. For most peo-
ple, avoiding what bothers them takes
some planning and vigilance and may
be impossible to avoid. That's when
treatment is in order. ❑
