I had a difficult time controlling my allergies in AZ this year. The worst symptom for me is itchy, dry eyes

Wow, I thought people moved to Arizona to get away from allergens.

Same where I live in Ca. Trees, grass and weeds, very high in pollen.Breathing all this stuff gave me the worst case of bronchitis that I've ever had.

Very bad here. Is it worse everywhere? Part of climate change?

Not sure if it's pollen here yet(pa) but hubby and I and dd have been sick for three weeks...ours started with the flu, cough, achiness, fatigue, etc....now we are still coughing, stuffy, sinus, and tired...dd and I have spring allergies typically every year...I think for us it's a combination of getting over this virus and spring allergies...

I'm home sick today so I feel your pain! Sneezing, watery eyes, sinus headache, can't breathe...

Lilacs are getting ready to bloom here in southern WV, and as much as I love their beautiful blooms and their scent, I feel bad for both daughters who are highly allergic to them, and will be miserable while they are in bloom. Pollen counts are very high here right now.

My husband has been sneezing his head off.

This is a really bad year for colds. I'm on my 5th week of a cold, sneezing, sore throat, cough, tickle, etc., that started as a head cold with several boxes of Kleenex. Then I graduated to a sore throat with a horrible cough which I still have. My ENT said colds last 5 to 6 weeks this year with coughing for another month or more. So, now I'm on my third bottle of cough syrup and the horrible tickle is still there, albeit a little better than it was. I wake up every morning with a cough and sore/dry throat and sore ribs from so much coughing. I am so sick of this (pardon the pun).

Sorry that you are suffering with allergies. Just a suggestion- Why not go to an allergy Dr. for allergy shots? My husband gets allergy shots every few weeks year round, because he is allergic to everything under the sun. They help him tremendously. I used to be allergic to pollen, but I was lucky, I outgrew it.
