How do you get over an allergy?

How do I get rid of my allergy shiners? *READ DETAILS!!*? ?

• I have very bad allergies and am allergic to verything in the air, so there is no way I can "avoid" everything I'm alergic to. I take a perscription medicine (Alegra-D 24 hour) and a nasal spray (Veramyst) daily and get two allergy shots weekly. I've been getting allergy shots for almost three years now and been taking medacine for almost 4 years and still have the allergy shiners. I the recommended hours of sleep, drink plenty of water, and don't smoke (I know those are causes z), but still have them. I'm tired of people always saying I look sick or tired. In pictures it looks like I'm dying. I'm only 14 and don't have money to go out and buy expensive cream for it, and since I'm a guy I don't want to wear any make-up. Does anybody have suggestions or know how to get rid of them?

• Answer:

  I had constant and bad allergic shiners. They got better after a lot of trial and error. Recently they came back over the holidays because of a really bad cold that brought down my immunity and then my allergies came back temporarily. So I now know what to do this time and they are getting better. I was allergic to alot of things for most of my life. I tried many treatments, but what worked for me was going to alternative practitioners. I went to a specialized chiropractic center than did these treatments called Nambudrapod (I hope I spelled this right - it is named after the doc who invented it) it is a non-invasive relaxing and easy way. So we started eliminating things that I was allergic to. Everything either went away completely or got sig better (peanuts are still a problem but no hospital scene!). At the same time I worked on boosting my immune system which had been destroyed from being given years of sulfa drugs and other antibiotics before they realized that this wasn't good for you :( I also saw a really good acupuncture physician in town because I was supposed to have sinus surgery!!! I did not want surgery!!! It was amazing because it really helped and it shrunk the polpys that I had in my sinuses until they wer gone! (the polyps came from being allergic constantly to everything so it was impossible for my sinuses to ever heal since they never got a break). Cosmetically you can put cucumbers or potato slices on your eyes for like 10 minutes. A soothing way is to put warm tea bags (I think caffiene is better because it constricts the blood vessels). Most important (but hard to do) is to not rub or touch under your eyes. Most people think that the shiners are broken capilaries but actually (you can tell I have been dealing with this for decades) they are caused by congestion in the sinuses so that the blood vesels can't let the blood back down to find its way to the heart so it pools and casues the little veins to swell in an area where the skin is thin - so it looks like 2 black eyes. So, if you fix the sinus swelling and congestion the shiners will get better. I know easier said than done. I hope this helped...
