Allergies and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity



One thing I would like to mention that I never had allergies before we were exposed to toxic mold. My allergies are chronic and high when it comes to dust and dust mites so our Dr. recommended the Allergy Store for some mattress and pillow encasings. We purchased the mattress and pillow encasing for our bed. (We picked the Allersoft Blend although I just noticed that they now have 100% organic cotton which would have been my first choice) With the allersoft blend I noticed that we needed to wash them first because of whatever chemical was on them but after the first wash we did not have any dizziness with it. Alan and I got dizzy with an unwashed pillowcase. After the first night sleep we noticed a decrease in my red face and we didn't feel as fatigued in the morning. We added the mattress encasing and pillow encasings to Ryan's bed who also is chronically allergic to dust and dust mites and for all the kids we added the pillow encasings. They all seem to sleep better and wake up with less fatigue and allergies. I recommend the Allergy store because they were quick with our order and I was able to do it on-line. I love shopping on-line. So if you are interested in encasings if you have dust and dust mite allergies allergystore.com is the place to go. Please watch some of their other allergy products because some of them contain chemicals that will harm the chemically sensitive. Hope everyone is having a beautiful week.

That is great for you guys to find something that helps you sleep better. It is amazing how much sleep affects how we feel in the day. Which remeinds me, I need to head to bed. I've been bad and staying up too late to blog, check my facebook profile, etc. I love the new background and Christmas music! Very cheery!
