Take some medicine. It'll probably help.

I've taken Claritin once and it helped. It's usually hit and miss with me. Some times allergy stuff works sometimes it doesn't.

If only it were that simple. Its supposed to rain tomorrow, so hopefully the pollen count will be down

Claritin doesnt do anything for me, neither does allegra

I usually take 20mg zyrtec. Allegra and claritin doesnt work for me. But tonight I think I'll take benadryl. Because of my plethora of medical issues my house is like pharmacy. I have anything from tylenol to levsin on hand

if you are still having issues, maybe you need to see an allergist?

shits life changing, yo. Seriously, as someone with "wake up at 3am having a massive sneezing fit" and "I can't drive right now because I'm temporarirly blind while my eyes flush themselves" this stuff does wonders. Also sometimes QBC but those just have +calcium

I cant take it because I have celiac (a wheat Intolerance) and am taking doxycyclene for my acne. It can cause an allergic reaction to those with a wheat allergy or intolerance, and can affect how doxycyclene is absorbed. Nice Idea though

try to find locally packaged honey (or as close to local as possible). Consume said honey for a while (in whatever way you choose: tea, spoonfulls, on biscuits, etc). It *should* help with the allergies. It has worked for me. :)

I do that from time to time, the effects are minuscule, but they are there. There is a brand of honey (ambrosia) that is locally harvested

I feel it. I've been carrying a hanky since I was 10 in the midwest, lived in CO and then moved to CA. Living in the Bay Area, I had episodes where I itched my eyes so hard in my sleep, I caused them to bleed. (Very uncool for me, but the scared the fuck out of my employees. They just said "yes boss" to whatever I mumbled. It wasn't "Good To Be King." because of that.)

Got allergy tested. Got shots for 3 years. Went to self-hypnosis classes (worked quite a bit for me, ymmv.) Did detox things, homeopathy things, acupuncture things, energy things, everything things, 'Because Nothing Was Working and I Couldn't Believe the Human Evolutionary Train [wreck]' resulted in what I was experiencing. All of that helped to some extent, taking the edge off.

Then moved to Hawaii. All gone in 6 months. All symptoms. Even the fucking cat's dander. I can now smear my face into them if I linger for 15 minutes there, might feel a little itchiness.

Suggest moving to Hawaii. Good air. Good food. Lotsa cats. (Caveat: Ymmv.)
