This ain't good. I went to the GP about my breathing - Mr C's nighttime attacks having left me blue-lipped and breathless - and peak flow is ghastly. Asthma diagnosed. Six Ventolins a day from now on.
I'm also on antihistamines - separate ones - for
skin
eyes
nose
throat
general systemic ones
As it is the sheets are boiled the whole time, I wash hair and body with vigour daily, I never wear clothes or nightclothes twice and wash everything the second it's been worn inside for more than 5 min, the hoover is practically never off and all the doors and windows are open 24/7. Furniture is hoovered or swabbed down more regularly than is sane.
The hives from last week's 35-puncture session are healing, but much too slowly, because I can't reach down into my shoulder to dress the wounds. He went for my hand, playfully, earlier - although I shrieked and pulled away, it's puffy and sore, with two long deep scratches that, from past experience, will take a fortnight to scab up.
I try and groom him to keep the clouds of fur he produces down but at the mo he is resistant, prob still sensitive about The Leg.
I don't know what to do. I've just folded yet another pile of clean washing. Mr C has sat on it.
I love him. What hardcore treatment is there for cat allergies? In 8 hours time he will be under anaesthetic, poor little cat, and I will be signing up to the asthma clinic.
