Maybe...
So I finally went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so crappy this winter, and hopefully get something to treat the Sinus Infection from Hell. But after seeing the doctor, I find out that I don't have a sinus infection at all.
I have allergies.
At the age of 30, I have suddenly developed allergies.
I haven't seen an allergist yet, so I don't know what I'm allergic to yet, but I am terrified that it is going to turn out to be cats.
I can't live without cats. I can't bear to part with Jens and Sven. I don't know what to do if I turn out to be allergic to them. I've heard that some people who are allergic to cats manage their allergies and keep the cats, but I don't know how common it is or how well it works.
Anyone else go through something similar? Any advice for me if I turn out to be allergic to one of my favorite things in the world?
(no I'm not getting rid of them and getting a goldfish
)

)Well, maybe it's something else. Can you pinpoint it to starting when something else in your environment changed? I will hope that's it. Otherwise have a frank discussion with your allergist about managing it and the success/advisability of that.
I'd do everything I could to keep my kitties too. I understand.

I'd rather be attacked by a squirrel than be allergic to cats *NM*
