I need help. I recently bought a new AC unit. I have extremely bad allergies and need to run it quite a bit because the windows are usually closed. Anyways...I am sitting here suffering with allergies IN my room and I've been trying to figure out what it was...and when examining the windows I realized...there's a BREEZE coming through my ac unit?! I have never had this issue before. After some examining I could see light inside through the holes you slide the side fins down through so I put tape over those on the outside...but I can feel a breeze! This is a low end unit and has no ventilation choice and is not meant to do so...is this something I can fix or? I'm not sure how I would anyways but the return window closed a few days ago of course. Any helpful tips appreciated!

Edit to add that it is DEFINITELY NOT a window seal problem...baby is sealed up tight inside and every joint is taped. The only entrance for air is through the vent on the front. ✌️

I am currently barely functioning. I was titrated up on Xolair and told to push thru all the non stop reactions and I finally stopped when I was having anphalactic responses to stuff that just made me a lil puffy prior. Everything is a million times worse now and idk what to do. I'm losing my few safe foods now...my bacterial overgrowth is definitely back and I can't treat it because react to EVERYTHING! No meds other than benedryl or Advil dual action and my allergist already drove me to benedryl toxicity once recently. Now I'm starting to have toxicity symptoms using less and less of it.

Saccharomyces boulardii is one thing I could always take to fight the sibo and reliev nausea and bloating etc and I took a tiny dash last night and reacted within 5 minutes. I'm terrified. He's the only Dr I've ever found that even believes MCAS is a thing...and I have alpha gal as well.

Anyways...the ER is a HORRIFIC place to go now because they just roll their eyes at me as I'm literally dying..they don't know what to do and get MAD at me for going in. The allergist is a mess...my PCP told me not to call her about this stuff and so WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!? IM SO FUCKING SCARED! I'm just sitting here all day trying not to move too much.

Xolair has ruined my life...it really decreased my overall inflammation rapidly and my body felt better but EVERY reaction goes straight to anaphylaxis now! The Drs don't care...the ER is like fucking mean girls club and I can't take anything. I'm flailing here...Im almost 2 months out from the shots and I'm 😭😭😭

I realize this is a mess but so am I. I had a virtual appointment with the allergist 2 weeks ago and he said he'd have some things for me to try(idk how) by the end of that week. Heard nothing. I call and message and text the entirety of last week and they are closed all week with no warning? 2 weeks of waiting and there's no answers...no meds...no plan...nothing gets followed thru with there. Pls help me out I am freaking out.
