Holy crap, I'm getting freaking murdered lately.  I'm on 2 medications and they're still not stemming my nasal and bronchial woes.  Allegra and Nasacort AQ.

Who else?

Once the trees start to bud, I start using Flonase before it really gets bad.  My asthma is not too good though.  It was so bad this year that I got conjunctivitis in both eyes.

Thing is, it seems to have struck me suddenly on Friday morning.  Has anyone else here had it hit them when they got up Friday?

ETA: I guess I'm just trying to pinpoint exactly what it is that is setting my allergies off the most.

Old remedy that seems to work for a lot of people is eating locally made honey.

I used to be killed by this but no more. i tink it has someting to do with the shots I go for every week a few years ago. I stopped because I was tired of going lol. Maybe it's paying off.

Off and on I suffer with that dryed glob of snot that stick in the back of your throat...can't cough it up or blow it out, and there's that little drip that oozes and drips.
Worst is the sinus headaches: I'll be just fine for the longest time, then one'll come on like a demonic posession. Usually the cheap psedudrene/non-asprin or good old dipenhydramine (benadryl) works, of course a couple tramadol's don't hurt either.

This year I am surprised.   I Have real bad allergies and so far I have had very little effects or no effects from it.  (knocking on wood)

This year has been one of the worst for me.  Flonase and Allegra D or Clariitn D no help at all.  All I know is my car is coated green in the morning.

No kidding. Once I wash my truck, the pollen sticks to it right away like dust.

I have no allergies in Spring, but when Fall comes around, I'll be in some pain.

Hello Mr. Pharmacy-

My allegies have been kicking my ass too. Clarinex, Rhinocort, Benadryl agument and saline for my eyes. IT REALLY KICKED my ass today - no matter WHAT I did, I jut barely made it past ZOMBIE.

lol, I thought I was the only one. The past few years I have been fine but this year I got hit Hard! I can barely function in school and always have a tissue in my hand. Claritin D no worky. I just got a new Black Acura RSX-S....I wash it and wax it then the next day I have a Green plant spermed car. Hopfully it will be ending soon, but yeah, I havent had allergies this bad in a long time.

Patanol is useless for me.  My eyes have actually gotten worse using it.  The only thing that works for me is Tobradex.  I learned something very interesting today:  antihistamines can make your asthma worse.

I was prescribed Optivar drops for my eyes during the fall.  It would've been a miracle drug if it wasn't for the side-effects.  It cleaned my sinuses out completely, and gave my eyes relief.  But it left the most awful bile-bitter taste in the back of my throat.  I use Patanol now, but if you haven't, give Optivar a try.  The bad taste doesn't happen with everyone.  And if it does, some days the sweet relief was worth the bad taste, and sucking on a hard candy or chewing gum alleviated the worst of it.
