ALLERGY SEASON!!! Vol. Sinus destruction FTL

[airboy23]

The only thing I don't look forward to every spring.. consistent sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, and being light headed.

I heard Zyrtec works but I haven't tried it yet. Is there a natural remedy to suppress pollen allergies?

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

zyrtec does work, i need to get a bottle this week..

benadryl is the best but it makes u mad drowsy

 

[tyeung53]

best way for me is to eat local honey from the farmers market. the pollen in that makes me more immune over time. thats what i have been doing for years ithelps alot and faster

I don't have allergies but I hate all that damn pollen on my car

See I would do that, but I just don't like natural honey at all. Non-Drowsey Clairatin FTW

 

[sooperhooper]

I'm allergic to the pollen, but instead of sneezing/ watery eye's, my sinus' get infected. It feels like a toothache in my face

it only happensperiodically tho. It was in effect last night, but two weeks ago was the worst i've EVER had it. Claritin worked a few years ago, a few people haverecommended benadryl lately tho, i don't think it worked for me when i tried it, though.

 

[airboy23]

I heard about the honey thing. Does it work right away? Or does it build an immunity slowly overtime? I have classes in the morning where pollen level ishighest so I'm gonna have to decide either Zyrtec or claritin.. I can't even taste or smell anything as of now

 

[airboy23]

might as well hit the sack for the day if I'm going to take benadryl

 

[dalilboy]

tell me about it i woke up monday morning with my eyes blood red

 

[keithahundred]

I hate the SPRING TIME!!!!

 

[jibbycanoe]

yea I feel you. I have been taking zrytec this year and it seems to work quite well. better than claritin at least. I just got the walgreens version though.give it a try
along with the honey idea as well, if you are looking for a natural remedy I have heard that taking alfalfa pills prior to spring builds up a tolerance but Ihaven't done any research to see if that is for real

 

[enyceking]

yeah im dying over here

 

[forty 1]

Heard that...

 

[exileue]

might have to give zyrtec a try. i'm using claritin right now and it really does nothing for me. my eyes are killing me

 

[queencitysneakerqueen]

I hate Spring just got over some allergies

 

[dyyhard]

damn pollen...pissing me off. trying not to let the sinus congestion bother me.

 

[welcometothetonezone]

I spent most of my spring break sick in bed with allergies.

 

[you go boy]

[kash55]

When March 1st hit, so did the sneezing.

 

[lil stevie728]

I use Claritin. Works pretty well. They say it's 24 hours relief but I usually get 2 days relief out of it. I have horrible allergies though. My nose getsrunny, I can sneeze like 5-6 times in a row, eyes get red

 

[TheGodFresco]

i have it right now. FML

 

[JAYxSF415]

Red eyes, cant breathe through my nose, snot coming from the corner of my eye

, insane cough, feeling like crap basically. FML

just reading some stuff..

"If you have pollen allergies, avoid going out between 6 [a.m.] and 10 a.m., that's generally a peak time for allergies," said Shulan.
not a problem on weekends.

He also suggested keeping windows closed, in your home and your car, changing home air filters and using nasal rinses to ease congestion.
