Perfect timing. - high pollen count today in NYC - trees are blooming and I’ already suffering. Broke out the allergy pills today. Taking lots of naps.

Here in Oklahoma we are the allergy capital of the world.  I swear by Claritin and elderberry syrup.

I broke out the pills last week.  It's mostly juniper pollen that is the culprit, with a little cottonwood and elm.

My husband and daughters have been dealing with allergy issues all month; starts as soon as the grass greens up and starts growing.   We need mega size boxes of Claritin and Mucinex, as well as gallon bottles of Phenergan cough syrup.

I have allergies year round. At their worst my eyes, nose and ears itch, sometimes a dry cough and sneezing. A Zyrtec pill in the morning works best for me and a child's dose of liquid Claritan in late afternoon usually work.

Somebody on the forums recommended Flonase Sensimist.  I've been using it and love it - it's working well and the delivery system of the mist is so much better than the previous "squeeze bottle" type of sprays.

I found out black elderberry really helps my allergies. I bought capsules, syrup & some berries to make my own. I don't want to be without it. It has high concentrations of quercetin. I figured using black elderberry was better then just quercetin with more benefits.

It's hard to come by with the Pandemic but my auto delivery is shipping out.
