Matthew 11:28-30 Dear God, Thank you so much that we can come to you for help and rest. Help us to learn from you so that all we do is for you. Thank you for helping us with our burdens and that you ask so little in return. In you we can truly find rest in the midst of troubles and worries. Amen マタイによる福音書11章28-30節 親愛なる神よ、 私たちがあなたに助けを求め、休むことができることを心から感謝します。私たちのすることがすべてあなたのためになるように、あなたから学ぶことができるようにしてください。私たちの重荷を助けてくださりありがとうございます。あなたのおかげで、私たちは悩みや心配の中にあっても、心から安らぎを見出すことができるのです。 アーメン

This summer, my allergies have been awful! I get really bad sinus headaches when my allergies act up and the barometric pressure changes, and this year it’s been awful.
Something I haven’t been doing consistently is eating local honey. This is supposed to help stem allergies, and it makes sense—when I was living in Hawaii, my allergies were ten times worse than they are now. My dad would take me to an allergist every week, and he’d inject me with a little bit of allergens right underneath my skin on my arm. Eventually, my allergies got better.
So eating a bit of allergens in the local honey should be the same, right?
I found this local brand that looks promising:
I hope it works. I’m not sure exactly what I’m allergic to, which flowers or trees or mold or what. Or maybe a combination of everything.
Man, what if I’m allergic to Snickers?! That would be awful!
Any tips or tricks you guys know of to help me out? Have any of you taken local honey for allergies and had it work well for you? Or maybe not work at all?

I hope its not your dog.
I've always heard that you aren't supposed to give kids under age 2 honey - didn't know why - know I do.
Not like I have kids to keep away from honey, but its nice to know that honey has allergens in it! LOL!
P.S. I should get Single Sashimi in the mail today. I know what I am doing tonight :)
Hang in there!!!
My biggest problem is sticking with it, too. Sometimes I forget a day or two.
Leslie, I hope you enjoy Single Sashimi!

It's a long, annoying process but at least you'll know exactly what you're allergic to and then you can choose the best treatment--drugs, natural remedies, whatever--that works for you.
Without an allergist, I'd never have known that my 1 yo had a milk reaction. He's not even allergic to it. I was just overdosing his system with 8 8-oz bottles a day. (My oldest. What did I know?)
I would never know that same child is truly allergic to grass. Or that my middle child has a severe nut allergy (used to be just about every food so now that it's only nuts, that's not so bad). Or, that my baby boy is severely allergic to fire ants.]
They can't (or won't) test you for everything on the planet but they can narrow it down and then do more testing if necessary.
Go to the doctor (and enjoy your honey)!
I wasn't having any allergies for the first few years I lived in California, but now they're acting up. Plus I'm getting older, and I'm like my mom--her sinus allergies didn't show up until her mid thirties. So my sinus allergies are showing up now that I'm in my mid thirties.
I had allergist shots every week for most of my teen years, and they were expensive. I'd rather pay less and try the honey first.
