I had some relief from my allergies when the asthma wasn't bothering me as much. Wondered if allergies get better once asthma is under control.

" new to this board-- Thanks for the answer I am really hoping the allergies get a little better once the asthma gets under control. I also wondered if the allergies get better on their own with out treatment once the asthma is controlled.

" um.. it is a bit of a vicious curcle sometimes. the allergies make the asthma bad and the asthma makes the alergies bad.

everyone is different sometimes people allergies will get better with avoidance and with stable asthma but some peopel have such bad allergies that htye need meds to control the allergies whihc will then let they asthma become more stable.
