Our central air unit has special HEPA/pet filters on it already, so hopefully that will help reduce the allergens actually coming into the room. When we buy property in the next year, the idea is to have a central location for all the cats and have the rest of the home off limits to them. I haven't looked into individual vent filters, but that is an excellent idea.

Dander exists for YEARS in the environment. Even after vacuuming and steam cleaning. It also travels through the air and piggy backs on clothing, people, and items in the household.
My son and myself are asthmatics. I have had a loaner car put me in the er due to third hand smoke even after said car was throughly steam cleaned. He may need to see a doctor for a prescription allergy medication like Singulair.
Hey Bluebird! I just ran across this poem and it seems like something one of your men might write of you. (I sure hope this falls into the acceptable praise area for you)

I'm a reactive airways asthmatic with a cat allergy and I've lived all my life with cats. I own two cats right now, and they stay out of the bedroom (door closed, ionizing air purifier on constantly, and otc Claritin every day) and I wash my hands after petting them (which is a good habit anyway). It seems to work well enough for me, but it depends on how bad his allergy is, I think.
But like I said, I've lived all my life with cats. I tolerate my own cats much, much better than anyone else's. My cats are also shorthairs. My parents' long-haired cats always made me very miserable.

Just to add my experiences to the list...I used to be very allergic to cats (hives causing my eyes to swell shut, but no breathing issues), Siamese cats were especially bothersome.
Then my husband decided that he NEEDED a cat...I started taking Zyrtec (cetirizine) every day and had a nasal steroid ready on standby. For the first few months we kept the cat out of the bedroom and I washed my hands whenever I touched him.
Now? My allergy has all but disappeared (we are on our second cat). I figure the constant exposure did what allergy shots are supposed to do. (NOTE: do not try this at home if you have asthma!!!...Breathing is IMPORTANT, you should do it EVERY DAY!

Thanks everyone for your ideas and info. Dealing with this is going to be difficult, and I hope we can make it work. I was looking at vacuum robots yesterday and I think I may invest in one.
Right now I am writing this from Atlanta, snuggled up next to DarkKnight in our hotel room. We're having such a wonderful trip! I'm going to break this up as I type, so I don't lose anything. So if you're reading this, wait a bit and see if it gets added to over this morning.
We spent Sunday in Washington DC, as our train did not leave Union Station until 6:30 pm. Our plan was to visit the Air & Space Museum, but there were long lines for entry out of most of the museums we were considering - I usually go during the week and did not anticipate the lines. So, we decided instead to walk around and see the monuments! We've lived an hour and a half from DC for 3 years and had never done this, so it was a lot of fun. The weather cooperated for the most part, though we did get rained on at a couple of points. At the end of the day we had walked 13.1 miles - a slow half marathon!
The train ride was fun. I had reserved us a "Viewliner Roomette" on Amtrak, so we were in a private space from DC to Atlanta overnight. I would recommend this, for sure. The room was very tiny, but the seats were large and comfortable, we had a very large pair of windows to look out of, and a private toilet. The seats flattened out at bedtime, and with a mattress added on top of them, they made a decent bed for DarkKnight. My bed came down from the ceiling, and it was also very comfortable. That said - neither of us got much sleep, as the route we were on involves a ton of turns, and there was a lot of sway in the train car. For me on the top bunk, that meant if I started to drift off, I'd roll right over and across the bunk, which would wake me up immediately. I spent the enter night just starting to sleep. Oh! Our room also included free meals in the dining car, so we had both dinner and breakfast there, and the food was really good. All of the employees on the train were amazing too. It was definitely an adventure! Which honestly, is what I paid for - flying down would have been faster and cheaper, but taking the train was part of the trip that I wanted to make special for DarkKnight.
Yes, we had sex in the train car. It was quite awkward, given the space restrictions, but it was hilariously fun. Now I can say I've done that, though I am not sure who would ever ask. Lol
We arrived in Atlanta around 8 am on Monday. Our hotel reservations had check in time at 3 pm, but we decided to see if we could get into our room early. Thank goodness we checked, because it worked - we got in and were able to rest a bit before starting the rest of our day! Oh, I don't know if I have a picture that conveys this - let me look:
Yeah, because we knew we'd be spending an entire day in DC before leaving for Atlanta - and also one in DC after we return - we opted for backpacks, rather than traditional luggage. These things weigh a ton, and they're massive. We walked that 13.1 miles sporting these monstrosities, and we are both unused to that sort of exercise. So, we were VERY happy to be able to take them off and drop them in the hotel room!
For lunch, an old friend came and picked us up for a short visit. We ate at Big Matt's Rib Shack and it was very delicious BBQ. The company was great - our "Uncle Al" was the guy who performed our wedding ceremony ten years ago in Boston. So it was great to catch up with him. After he dropped us back at the hotel, DarkKnight and I walked down the street to the Skyview Ferris wheel. I had bought a groupon, so we got to ride at a discounted rate and we were given a box of chocolates. We were able to see the city from really high (I am afraid of heights but this actually wasn't too terrifying) and there's a narrated tour so you know what you are seeing.
That's the view down to the Olympic Rings Fountain, in the Centennial Olympic Park, right next to our hotel. After the Ferris wheel ride, DarkKnight and I spent an hour or so exploring there, and watching kids - and adults - run through and get soaked. We also ate our chocolates. Then we went across the street to sit in another open space, this one between the Aquarium, the Coca Cola Museum and the Civil Rights Museum. We have plans to visit a couple of these while on our trip, but the Coke museum seemed silly, so instead of spending over $30 for the two of us to take a tour, we went to the store instead, and bought a couple of things. One was a bottle of Diet Coke, so we could sit outside along the grass and share it together. <3
After walking around a bit, we returned to the hotel and made further plans for the week. We walked about a mile for dinner at The Varsity, which was highly recommended by 3 people to us as a must-visit fast food place. We had chili dogs. Then we had a fun time at this bar/arcade where we played games and won fabulous prizes. (Not really - you know how arcade prizes are!) By this time we'd walked a little over 4 miles and our legs were killing us, so we went back to the hotel and soaked up some rest in the hotel rooftop spa together. Then, we ended our day cuddling in bed, watching episodes of Impractical Jokers. Lol
Today we are going to the Aquarium, and I paid for a "penguin encounter." Can't wait!

My Atlanta trip is coming to an end - I'm on a train right now heading back to DC. DarkKnight and I should be arriving there around 10 am tomorrow. This has been a joyous trip for our relationship -I have connected really well with my husband, and had a ton of fun. Yesterday we went to the Aquarium and today we visited the Center for Civil And Human Rights, followed by a Zombie Apocolypse Escape Room adventure. We didn't win the escape challenge, but it was a blast!
That said, my ringworm has worsened, and it has left me feeling terribly unattractive and drained emotionally. It is still completely covered by my clothing, however, it's all over my chest and upper arms and stomach. I feel disgusting because of it. That combined with my period - I have had some really down emotions on this trip. I am looking forward to being home - I have a new regimen worked out in my mind - I plan to do apple cider vinegar compresses after showering every morning, then use the prescription lotion, and cover each lotion spot with a bandage all day, so it doesn't rub off. I have another Diflucan I can get from the pharmacy too, as obviously the one I took last week hasn't done squat. I've been told it can take up to a month for this to run its course, and I am truly horrified that it is getting worse instead of getting better - I am using the cream as my doctor said. This is just awful.
I am also returning home really motivated to start my weight loss. Because of my period and the ringworm thing, I feel grosser than ever. That said, DarkKnight and I have been walking a ton and I hope to be able to continue that. Let's see - Sunday was 13.1 miles, Monday was 4.8 miles & Tuesdsy was 4 miles and today was 6 miles. We'll get some good steps in tomorrow too, from being in DC most of the day. My leg muscles were killing me earlier this week but today felt pretty great. Of course, I've been eating garbage, but that will change once I start counting calories.
We had a change in plans for tomorrow - originally PunkRock was going to come pick us up, but WarMan messaged me unexpectedly to say that he had forgotten that he was starting D&D with Monkey tomorrow night. He hadn't told me about it and he hadn't put it on the calendar. We had an earlier discussion that he wanted to start skipping every other Thursday night game night with me and my husbands, and give that time to Monkey instead. He didn't offer to replace that time with a different evening, but he'd been so looney over Monkey threatening to cut him off completely a while back, I let it go. Anyway, I was under the impression that it wasn't starting until "next month" but he says now he said "in 2 weeks" but it's a moot point since it wasn't on the calendar and now we have to deal with it.
We had some back and forth texts today about how to deal with it. I told him that I was already antsy because I am over my time limit on not seeing him or PunkRock. Since Thursday night is usually our scheduled game night - and it was on our shared calendar - I had no reason to feel concerned about not seeing him tomorrow. However, yeah, it is a concern, since now he's saying there was a mistake made on his part.
He's going to deal with it by taking a half day at work and coming up to the Shady Grove Metro station to pick us up. Then I will be able to see him before his game time with Monkey. This is okay with me, though I think it sucks that he has to miss work. That said, he caused the issue, so it's good he is dealing with it. Sure, I could wait to see him until Friday, but it would cause me to go further down the spiral, and I reeeeeally don't need that right now. I think he was feeling exasperated earlier, but he caused me some upset with the texts.
Once again, I had to explain to him that I need to see my romantic partners every 3-4 days. This isn't some arbitrary number I choose out of my head. I start having real physical and mental distress when it goes longer. Anxiety levels shoot up and it isn't fun for me. He acted very...confused, like this was the first time, again, that he was hearing this information. This is very frustrating to me, because I know this is neither the first, nor second time, that we've had this discussion. I am becoming worried that he really doesn't get it. This is a nonstarter for me in relationships - if you can't do the time, then we are done. I won't date you. He has assured me in the past that it isn't an issue, but here he is, saying that he can't commit to it, yet again.
I told WarMan that if he can't understand how important this is, then maybe he is making a mistake by dating me. He needs to think about that. No, I would not dump him because we've been apart for longer than 4 days, but it will erode my bond with him. Significantly. He needs to know that for me, trust is difficult, attachment is difficult, and not seeing him consistently will ruin everything, very quickly. I recently shared some intensely personal information with WarMan, and to have him hit me with that he can't always cater to this...it hurt a lot.
But, all that said, he started doing damage control while we were talking and worked out a solution that while may not be ideal for him, it works for me. He is putting my needs up front and that means lots. He really was concerned about me, and I know he is feeling pulled trying to balance his own schedule. So, crisis averted. But damn, I am still worried that he will forget about this again though. DarkKnight and I talked some about working on this need of mine in therapy, but my list lately is long! Right now I have a different focus. I will mention it to my therapist, but frankly, this part of things is going to take the most amount of time to overcome, I think. I mean, hell, it's the reason I started being poly in the first place.

I do t have any time to really update, but I wanted to take a moment to scream and flip the fuck out.
What started as a single circle on my knee, is now covering most of my body. It's hideous; it's horrible, and a spend a lot of time crying both in the morning and in the evening, when I am applying the prescription cream to it all. Fuck ringworm.
I took a Diflucan 10 days ago, and then a second one yesterday. The medicated cream they prescribed to me feels like a joke - I put it on and then everything expands. My doctor says it could take up to a month to get rid of everything - but this is loads worse! Tonight, as WarMan was putting on the evening application, the burning sensation I usually feel became almost overwhelming. I decided to look it up on google, and it turns out a burning sensation means that I am allergic! So, no surprise it isn't fucking helping.
I feel so defeated. Tomorrow I am not going to put the prescription shit on. Tomorrow I am going to shower and then try the apple cider vinegar remedy my nurse friend told me about. I figure it can't hurt worse, anyway. I can't call the doctor until Monday, so I'll still be doing something, anyway.
Seriously, this is the worst I have felt about myself in a long, long time.

Make sure all of your guys are being extra careful touching you (and everything else your body touches), as contagious as ringworm is it's VERY easy to pass it along. Also, beware of secondary infections like staph if you're experiencing any skin breaks.
Are you allergic to Lotrimin AF?

Yeah, my sex life has been greatly curtailed as of late. My guys aren't touching me much, though they would like to and I would like them to as well. :/ They were using gloves to but the lotion on. I am terrified they might catch it from me.
Staph is something I worry about. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow and demand an appointment.
I did use the apple cider vinegar this morning. Not sure if it did anything, but there was no burning, only a tingly sensation.
I don't know if I'm allergic to Lotriman or not. I never had to use it.

You might consider it as an alternative to the prescription, and use it in conjunction with the vinegar (vinegar wipedown first, of course).
Out of curiosity, how long did it take for the rashes to spread over your entire body? Sounds like it was pretty fast.
Whatever you do, it's going to take a while to see the effects kick in.

Every time I ever got ringworm (which was at least 4 times a year as a kid), I just used OTC antifungal cream. Put it on 3x daily, covered with a bandaid if t was somewhere clothes didn't naturally cover then let it air out overnight. It usually cleared within a week or so.
You can try some natural antifungals in your diet, too. Garlic, oregano (and oregano oil), and clove oil are the ones I know of. Might help your body fight it from the inside out, as well? Hopefully?

The first time I noticed the ringworm on my knee was when I returned from New Mexico, at the very beginning of March. I thought it was a spider bite but went to the doctor after it started getting bigger and WarMan said it was ringworm. It started spreading shortly thereafter. So I have had it for 25 days or so. Every day there are more. Even this morning - I had several new spots.

Oh, AlwaysGrowing, we cross posted. I tried using band aids the other day - but I have so many spots, we emptied the entire box in just one application...and there were many spots uncovered. When I pulled them off that night, I had a red rash all around each spot that had been covered. My skin had been greatly irritated. Many of these rashes have remained, unfortunately. I won't be using anything like that again! I am sure this is because the medication was something I was allergic too. Sigh. Not fun.

So far today is going well. The ringworm has definitely decreased and I am not itching as much. Not sure if I can chalk it up to the second Diflucan kicking in, or the apple cider vinegar, but I will take it. Because of the improvement, I did not call the doctor.
Today my daughter and I are at WarMan's old appointment, cleaning. It's small but the place was kinda filthiest than I expected. The amount of black mold on his fridge and freezer - I don't know how he is even alive.
Yeah, he moved in this weekend. Everything went really well - DarkKnight came over an hour before Monkey's husband and son arrived, and we packed the moving truck. Then everyone came to our place and unloaded into the garage. I am glad to have that over with! I left halfway through to go buy some things we needed - I had sold DarkKnight's bed, since he was inheriting the brand new Queen that WarMan had just bought, so I used that cash to get an allergy cover for it. And some picture frames.
Seriously y'all. Don't ever move. Fuck, my house looks like a bomb went off - every room is horrible someplace.
On top of the ringworm emotional garbage and the move stress, WarMan might be leaving in April for a week for Tennessee AND the week following that, DarkKnight is going to New York. It's cray cray here! WarMan also got word that his family reunion is in Arizona the last week in May, and he briefly mentioned me going, but he seemed hesitant about it this morning when I brought it up. I need to work on our budget from now til summer, so I don't even know if it is feasible. My daughter needs senior pictures and we plan to send her to Denver to visit her birth sister after graduation. Ugh. And a graduation party! Lots to finance and schedule. So we will see. He said we can talk tonight.

Yeah, he moved in this weekend. Everything went really well - DarkKnight came over an hour before Monkey's husband and son arrived, and we packed the moving truck. Then everyone came to our place and unloaded into the garage. I am glad to have that over with! I left halfway through to go buy some things we needed - I had sold DarkKnight's bed, since he was inheriting the brand new Queen that WarMan had just bought, so I used that cash to get an allergy cover for it. And some picture frames.
Seriously y'all. Don't ever move. Fuck, my house looks like a bomb went off - every room is horrible someplace.
On top of the ringworm emotional garbage and the move stress, WarMan might be leaving in April for a week for Tennessee AND the week following that, DarkKnight is going to New York. It's cray cray here! WarMan also got word that his family reunion is in Arizona the last week in May, and he briefly mentioned me going, but he seemed hesitant about it this morning when I brought it up. I need to work on our budget from now til summer, so I don't even know if it is feasible. My daughter needs senior pictures and we plan to send her to Denver to visit her birth sister after graduation. Ugh. And a graduation party! Lots to finance and schedule. So we will see. He said we can talk tonight.

Call the doctor anyway. I'm glad you feel better but please call anyway. Diflucan probably helped - it takes some time to work as it targets fungus everywhere in the body. The reaction you had was likely partially a reaction to being allergic to the topical medication but it's still something to be checked. I know you've got a lot going on but please, call the doctor (or a nurse helpline).
I've had ringworm. It sucks and spreads so easily! I definitely felt like a gross pariah when I've had it.
