IT'S LIKE MY NOSE IS NIAGARA FALLS OF SNOT. :tantrum: I want to claw out my eyes, it feels like I'm sneezing every ten seconds and my coughs sound are so bad that people think I have a serious illness! Not to mention I've already gone through three kleenex boxes this week. So how many of yous get seasonal allergies?
Ughhhhh...heard that!!! I can't wait until this mess is over!! Don't want to take anti-histamines as they make me drowsy as all hell. They actually make me feel worse than the allergies. Tea is my only relief right now lol...
Try getting a shot in each arm every week for a year then two each other month for 3 more. Oh the things we will do to stop allergies.
I have them too.:icon_sad: I'm supposed to take medication but I don't...only when it feel like I can't breathe properly anymore.:icon_redf I'm stupid, I know.
Not sure if it counts as a seasonal allergy, but I often fall victim to sinusitis. Stuffy head, sinus headaches, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip (coughing as a result of the "drip"). And this happens with every season change, especially when Springtime arrives and the trees blossom. Perhaps sensitivity to dust and pollen? Not hay fever exactly, as I always experience symptoms of sinusitis. As a child, I was allergic to dust and red food colouring (the red colouring would cause redness under my eyes, can't remember the other symptoms) Either way, my chest still sometimes become tight when there's lots of dust in the air, and I definitely sneeze more too during dry seasons. Though not seasonal, I also find that my nose starts running and itching when I've been close to dogs/cats and horses. I don't mind though :lol:
The stuff I use is supposed to be taken every fifteen minutes. So I'm popping pills all day, and then the pack runs out by noon. What stuff do you use?
I used to have terrible allergies year-round, but they all disappeared when I moved to NYC, which was very strange. I used to take take Singulair (prescribed) with either Allegra, Zyrtec, Benedryl, or Claritin (all OTC).
The same thing happened to me when I was living in our capital city for a year. It was weird because I could see smog everyday and it didn't bother me at all. I guess there just aren't that many trees/plants in big cities..
Ragweed in the fall kills me. I'm allergic to something in the spring but I don't know what. It's like when you are outside every breath makes you feel like your just snorted some ground pepper.
