Slowly starting to feel better!

I think I'm finally almost over it! Buuut I'm beginning to wonder if its something else like allergies! I was feeling GREAT last night, I could breathe, my head wasn't all congested, I felt better! So I decided to vacuum my very hairy couch, did I mention I have 2 dogs, 1 of which sheds like...I don't even know WHAT to compare her to! Halfway through vacuuming the couch, I couldn't breathe, my head was all congested again, my eyes were on FIRE, I stepped outside for some fresh air to see if that would help - it did. So figuring all this up, I'm really leaning towards allergies more than anything, now comes the fun part of figuring out how to treat it, getting rid of my dogs is NOT an option, not for the neighborhood we live in, if someones coming in my house I wanna know about it! So once again, any suggestions on how to deal with the allergies?
