HOrrible allergies!

[anotherlaujgirl]

SO i've had these horrible allergies for over a month.

How in the world do I get rid of them?

Allergy Meds haven't helped out much.

I've been taking 2 hour exams and i'm not allowed to leave the room.

It's been horrible. I can't really blow my nose or sneeze without making noise.

this year I am getting a big break. Last year was horrible. What am I doing this that I did not do last year? well, I take my herbal medicines more serious than last year.

Yesterday the allergen count was 10 times what it was last year in IL. It felt like someone had sprayed me with mace!

I have had colds and allergies since almost the beginning of this year.  I had an MRI done recently and the images showed my sinuses being swollen. My nose has been running like a faucet.  Allergy meds have not been very useful in stopping my runny nose.  I have even tried sinus medications and they too have been unsuccessful.  I do wish it would stop.

Benadryl works the best for me

I have allergies to dust and pollen it is horrible! What I do is stay away from those items. When there is a lot pollen around in the spring and in the fall I wash my face and hands whenever I am exposed to it. If I  go outside for any reason when I come in I wash them immediately and if I am out I use the ladies room to do it. You sneeze a lot when it stays on your skin or when it is caught in your ears or nose hair. Pay special attention to those areas and gargle a lot with some type of antiseptic mouth wash. This is how I get some relief and I take allergy medication if it really gets awful. I hope you feel better soon.

I know it is not easy to get rid of allergies. I have them and my eyes get most effected with allergies. I usually do not take any allergy medication. I do take Advil cold and sinus. That seems to help me a bit. I have never tried Advil's allergy yet.

I haven't had a bad allergy attack since 3-4 year (when I was in High School)... Maybe because I stay at school most of my time in an AC room working at my circuits course... If I have to deal with allergies, I wouldn't go out on the first week of real spring (meaning nice sunny days after the cold temperature recede) and only go out at a rainyday or nighttime... Never go out in a sunny day after rain because thats when the pollen goes crazy

I can sympathize. Both my husband and i suffer with allergies. I wish I could help you out but I haven't found a cure. Claraton allergy meds ( or the generic ) work the best without making us sleepy but nothing works entirely when the pollen is this bad.

Some locations announce on the weather what the allergy forecast is.  THat might help you prepare ahead of time.
Good luck on your tests.

Allergies are getting worse every year due to the high pollen count and weather changes.

I wish i could tell you there was a sure cure, but there is not. Try to stay away from the worst offenders if you can. I do take a shot every couple of months and it helps but not a lot. I cannot take the otc meds of anykind anymore. I love it when it rains and clears out ome of the dust. And it is bad this year because we are so dry. Once all the trees get bloomed out it is not quite so bad and then along come the weeds. Can't win.
