My doctor says so, but I am sceptical because apparently I am allergic to dust mites but I can breathe better at my friend’s flat which is a lot more dusty than my place
I suspect it is dust mite allergy anyway and recommend getting tested for it. The test is quick and harmless, and once you have a proper diagnosis, you can take measures to reduce the allergic load in your place or start therapy.

Thanks for your advice! I did a test back in 2018 which turned out positive. I then began to vacuum and wipe the dust a lot more frequently and bought encasings for my bed with no success. I even did a three year therapy with literally no improvement. The only thing that is working is decongestant nasal spray, but of course that’s no long term solution… That’s why I’m sceptical.
Dust mite allergy is decreasing my sleep quality drastically without proper treatment. I have a really high reaction, so that really affects my overall quality of life long term. I only realized that once I changed my doctor after finishing my studies and finally finding no excuses to try to improve on symptoms.
Thanks a lot for your tips. I guess I will try Budesonide nasal spray, that stuff sounds promising!
I got the sublingual therapy. I didn’t want to visit my doctor every month so I decided against the syringes, but it seems like even they aren’t a permanent fix.
I also sleep very poorly and wake up tired despite having enough sleep. I hope some day I can breathe/sleep like a normal person again!
Do you still have carpets? I find that carpets are much bigger indicators of whether my dust mite allergy will kick up rather than visible dust that’s flowing around. Best of luck in any case.
Yes, I still have some. I lived without carpets for some years, but I didn’t really make a difference so I decided to put them back.
Maybe it’s not the carpets but the flats I lived/live in. Since around that time it started I moved to my first flat in an old building. Since then I moved two times but always to similar flats with the same old wooden floorboards and high ceilings. Maybe it’s the brittle stuff between the floorboards that collects the allergens.
It’s apparently slightly deviated, but my doctor says it’s not strong enough to negatively impact my breathing. Nevertheless he said I could get surgery if I want to, but with no guaranteed improvements. I think this should be my very last resort.
I am not fond of slang, but even I have to admit it is a fun word. It also has a great meaning. To throw something with great speed in any general direction but usually quite far.
He yeeted his phone out the window when he noticed there was a spider on the screen. It was not the best decision, but it was the choice he made.
And most of them are right, it’s why slang dies so quickly. Gen Z/Alpha are just particularly inept at it, probably from having their brains fried by social media.
I don’t know about you, but I’m partaking in digital discussion. Surely you can easily notice the difference between what’s happening here and, say, a tiktok, right?
I can respect that. But also- set aside money on a regular basis (cash in an envelope for the physical reality or in a budgeting app) until you have enough to get one. And then splurge on that or something else you want more by then!
I better not play games else I won’t get to bed until 4am. I’ll watch YouTube/tiktok instead because it has lots of stopping points and I can pause it.
So totally hear you but some stats to add perspective (all from wiki):
~2% of the world has red hair
~2% of American’s identify as homosexual
~5% of American’s are suspected to have ADHD with 90% of them undiagnosed
So if this is accurate then that means roughly one out of every twenty people you walk by on the street has ADHD. Do people over use the term? Yes. Do most people underestimate how frequent it is? Also yes.
Further consider what happens when you give a people who are by definition poorly equiped to restrain themselves social media access and a relatable or spicy topic :p
I enjoy some of the memes but it's clear it's just another self diagnosed "omg i got ocd, im so quirky" fad. being pumped full of ritalin during a developmental phase or at any point is not as fun as it's made out to be
I was kinda worried for a while that since kidsthesedays don’t really have music as a tool to rebel against their parents, and as for shocking via clothing or something like goth or satanism… they’re just recycling 80s and 90s all over again. So how are they gonna do it?
Not so worried anymore. They always find something. And not just from language. The ways to be fucking idiots are endless and as a really novel thing, kidsthesedays go up to 30 year olds.
We were not allowed to walk around in clothing that is revealing like today’s kids are. That’s the rebellion and well, call me a dirty old man but i’m sure enjoying it.
