I'm in the deep South and everything here has been covered in lime green pollen for a month now!

I have to take Claritin-D every day and my eyes still water constantly and I'm considering buying stock in Kleenex, LOL!

Cute owl! We see them around our home.

Oh yes. I've been a victim of "hay fever" all my life. Dristan and Allarest (the "blue pill") put me to sleep many days as a child.

I've been sneezing up a storm the past few weeks. If it's not the pollen, it's the durn mold from all the rain.

Try using a humidifier with some eucalyptus oil, I run mine all day and night. It cleanses the air and opens up your sinus.

I take Allegra every day. This year my allergies are really bad and the pollen is everywhere.

My daughter has terrible Spring allergies. Until everything blooms, she's all stuffed up.

I have Fall allergies.

No matter when you get them, they're no fun at all.

We've had a few 60ish days and it's bright and sunny today and I'm looking out and I'm seeing the green sprouting and it makes happy. But it also means my spring allergies will kick in. The watery eyes, the coughing, the sore throat. I got my king sized bottle of Benadryl Allergy tabs yesterday. I'm ready.

I am allergic to almost everything except animals (with the excepton of mink) so my allergies never quit. They just get worse as we go thru the seasons.

Winter is my best month. I do take medication for them but it just takes the edge off since my case is severe.

I don't know what they are predicting for this allergy season but I think it will be another bad one since our winter didn't last long enough to kill of some the culprits.

Count me in - mine are really flaring up...yuck!

CUTE owl and kitty Oh Yes, mine are here too. I take some zyrtec or allegra D as needed. I love this Season but it means stuffiness, sneezing and congestion. Summer is difficult too when you deal with allergies and asthma and the high humidity is rough.

Oak is high right now. Everything has that yellow tinge to it.

I'm not really bothered enough to warrant medication; but DH and DS have a harder time.

It is so bad this year I did a z-pak for a sinus infection around Val.'s Day and just did another two weeks ago. No longer under the 10 day dosage as of this past Thurs. so I am getting nervous again. Back in the 90's I did weekly allergy shots for years to get better and so do not want to have to that again.
