Allergy hell? Anyone?

OMG is anyone else suffering like me?

It's to the point where the Zyrtec is just taking the edge off and not fully helping like it usually does.

I always have fall allergies, but this year is just the WORST!

I am not sure if it's because we are having a warm fall or what, but holy hell this is the worst I've had it.

Re: Allergy hell? Anyone?

yep, I get them in the Fall so bad. I have been living on Claritin and Sudafed. I go bonkers with them, since I was little I knew exactly when they were coming, the back top of my mouth would get so itchy, sore throat and watery eyes, ugh

I had a sneezing fit so bad on my drive in.
Thank God I was at a light because I would have had to pull over as well.

Oh yes. This is the first year I'm really admitting that I now have allergies. I'm also breastfeeding so I doubt there is much I can take. I'm just trying to deal with it. My eyes are so blood-shot it's embarrassing though!

For me, allegies come on suddenly. One minute I feel fine, the next minute I am sneezing, my nose and eyes are itching, eyes watering, throat and roof of my mouth just ITCH.
When I have a cold, it starts with a horrible sore throat, and then I feel like general crap- body aches, lethargic, low grade fever.
Usually if I take an allergy pill my allergy symptoms go away- not so with a cold.

Re: Allergy hell? Anyone?

Yes! Sneezing non stop! Literally takes my breath away. Also itchy nose and migraines. Developed allergies within the last couple of years so all this is new to me. Any suggestions for the best med to take for overall relief? Maybe one that's not a decongestant?

I prefer Zrytec over Claritin. They are both non drowsy.
I hear Allegra is great too- but i haven't tried it yet.

Re: Allergy hell? Anyone?

Awww you guys. I know the pain in the spring. Beside medicine, have you tried the neti pot? It helps alleviate the symptoms somewhat.

Re: Allergy hell? Anyone?

OMG...This is the worst year ever. Every single day for 5 weeks now. Nothing is working for me...going to try Zyrtec though, haven't tried it before. The neti pot actually BURNS my sinuses , the pharmacist said to stop it, means sinuses are too inflamed ( and this was with just plain water).

I use local honey. Nothing. Although I do believe it is worth a try, I read studies proving it worked as well as rx's!

Re: Allergy hell? Anyone?

YES!!!! DS has been suffering since last Tuesday.. Sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and nose. He was miserable. I had to add 2 doses of Benadryl to his daily allergy meds.. Then I started with it and it went into my sinuses.. My husband started on Monday and I had to force the allergy meds into him. He said he had a cold.. After 2 days on Zyrtec he felt better...

I can't figure out what triggered all of it...

Make your pcp write you a prescription xyzal. Best thing ever. It completely controls my allergies.
