I'm really starting to think I have an issue

I swear to you if it not one issue it is truly another. Some of you know that I have been battling with my allergies all of my life. As far as I know these allergies include both outdoor and food. I have been faithfully taking a number of supplements to attempt to build up my immune system. Despite these efforts, I feel as though I have hit rock bottom. My body started to act as if I was sick, but in my mind I wasn't convinced. Once or twice I thought I might even had swine flu. Last Monday I decided to eat Salmon which is one of the few types of fish I know I'm not allergic to....SURPRISE had a bad reaction. I pulled out two different kinds of Benedryl and took double doses SURPRISE it didn't help much. Over the last few years, I've noticed that when I have allergic reactions my breathing gets out of my control and is a lot worse than when I was a child. So I curled up in a ball and tried to take a nap be for I marched off to work that night. Thankfully, my lungs cleared a little, but I didn't feel right. Issue over...nope. I went to the gym last Wed(I've been on a 2 wk hiatus) and within the first 5 min on the elliptical I was completely and utterly out of breath. This didn't even happen to me my first time back in the gym after a 2+ yr gap. I left immediately and couldn't catch my breathe until I made it all the way one. Then this Tuesday I was merely walking up one flight of stairs and boom couldn't breathe. I also have developed a nasty cough.

After a long debate and a horrible breathless night a work I went to the hospital. I received three breathing treatment and was given 60mg of Prednizone. I was told I seemed to be asthmatic and have been suffering from a broncospasm. The coughing was caused by this as well. So I could now breath but the steroid did not take well with me. I felt as if my heart was beating out of control and I was extremely nervous. The nurse assured me that it is a normal reaction to the drug. Even still, I'd rather not experience it again. Then when I arrived home boom insomnia hit me like a hard brick and my body tingled uncontrollably. This continued into the next day. Not ever again.

I now have a personal project. I am looking for a list of supplements I can take on a daily basis that will counteract my allergies and asthma issue. Currently, I'm taking Nature Bounty woman's multi, vitamin C, B-12, acidophilus, flax oil, and Allegra 180 mg. I am probably going to only keep the acidophilus and flax oil in my regime and add too those two. I would like to assemble a detox to rebuild my entire immune system. I'm convinced the FDA is working their hardest to weakened and kill us off.

My Top Reasons I've added ACV as a staple

Anyone who knows me knows I love love AVC. We had our first encounter back last yesterday when I started to read about clarifying hair. Some say that ACV does not clarify your hair, but I would disagree. Like any product, it may not work for everyone but my hair loves it. I mix ACV 3:1 with shampoo(or condish) in a spray bottle. Every two weeks I add my mixture to wet hair in the shower when I am washing my hair.

As I've mentioned several times, I have a million and one allergies. One being severe ezcema. I've been praying that I will grow out of my allergies, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm 23 and I've been using creams for ezcema since I was at least 10 and I was sick and tired of it. One day several years ago I looked down at my hands and noticed that they were seriously loosing pigment. I was like awww nawww I am not trying to bleach my skin. Ever since then I only used the cream when I have a horrible break out...well until recently I came across an interesting alternative using ACV. I began to use this method about three times a day and within a week my skin really began to clear up.

On top of my allergies, I suffer from sinus issues, acid-related stomach aches, minor arthristis and the list continues. Yea, I'm falling apart. Anyway, I'm so tired of taking all my daily meds for all this crap. I read up on EarthClinic for my sinus and arthristis problems. I began to drink 3oz of ACV a day and I feel a million times better. Amazingly, I haven't had any pains or aches for weeks(besides headaches and I'm trying to figure that out now) and I'm so happy.

Flat Abs and a Small Waist Wish

For most of my life I have been petite. I was convinced that I would be small forever(stupid thought I know). My mother was like 120 when she got married at 28, both of my grandma's were petite, and so are the majority of my aunts(I have over 10) were small too. I was in for a rude awaking over the last couple of years. I've gained about 15 lbs and don't mind it most places but it's not cute on me anymore. My stomach is starting to budge out and I've went up two pants sizes. I know some ppl are thinking "You skinny chicks make me sick" but it is a big deal for me. I can't make unrealistic goals and say I'm going to go to the gym everyday or run for miles on a regular, but I need to do something.

I prefer to eat healthy food, but I will make more a commitment to do so more often.
I would like to get to the point where I don't have to undo my belt and pants because they are too tight.
I would like stomach to be flat.


For this I plan on jogging a couple of days a week with my new puppy. Also, I will cook healthy food at least 4 nights a week. I will do daily crutches and ab workouts. I plan to reach my goal by August 5.

Y is my back killin' me?

This weekend was incredibly crazy because everyone campus was partying hard. I normally do not join in with the festivities but I decided "y not?" I had a great time, but when I woke up Sunday morning my back ached horribly. I could not pin point what could have caused this pain. I don't remember falling or being involved in anything painful lol. I pondered on the reason all yesterday but could not figure it out. Finally, this morning after I woke up I set up straight to stretched and my back cracked several times(a lot more than normal). It instantly felt better and that's when it hit me. I'm a huge sloucher and I'm not proud of it. I never really pay attention to it until I see a picture that I have taken and I look horrible. Well, over the last couple of months I am getting more and more chest heavy. Since, I have a pretty small frame this may be a good look for me, but it has made my slouching even worse. I never noticed how much it has been weighing me down lately. So I'm going to try to working on my posture and hopefully this will help.
