This spring is killing me.  In past years I wondered if I had spring allergies.  This year I’m a pathetic sneezing, pitiful allergy poster boy.

The only time in my life that alergies didn't bother me was when I was at sea. Now I can't even buy a decent otc decongestant in Texas.

When growing up in the midwest, allergies affected me the same way, Eskimo.

Once I moved out West, they disappeared.

The short time I lived in New Jersey and Florida, no effect.

I grew up in Southern AZ. and as a result most of my allergies are from the plants there. Sagebrush really tears me up. Away from the SW desert I am usually doing pretty good and can drop taking decongestants all the time.

I found a new one however. I went with the grand kids to the river to do a bit of fishing. I found that I am susceptible to poison ivy. I recognized the plant and tried to stay away from it but must have gotten a little on each arm, sigh.......

To all ones own I guess.  Funny how different medication can give some people relief, and nothing for others.  Claritan is the only pill that can clear up my allergies.  Better than prescribed Allegra believe it or not.

However, I started taking shots last year, and I am noticing excramental relief each month.


Funny someone said whenever he leaves the SW his allergys are gone.  Whenever I GO to the SW my allergys are gone.....lmao

pollin sucks.

I hear ya, Rosco. Beconaise was the greatest nasal spray invented for seasonal allergies! Sagebrush, blooming meadows, not even nature's artillery (scotchbroom) could make me sniff. I used that stuff from 14 until 24 when my allergies started calming down to the point over-the-counter crap worked fine. However, knowing this year would be a real kicker, I went to the doc to get more last month; it's discontinued. "Try Zyrtec" says he, so I do... I'm still sneezing and ripping through Kleenex at a record pace. Between Wednesday and now I ran through three boxes of snot rags and close to five TP rolls. About typical for this time of year, unfortunately. Hell, my personal record is a whole 12-roll pack of TP in a single day.

Seasonal allergies + hay fever = a lot of SNOT!

Even more fun is how variable the OTC stuff is. Claritin-D works every 3rd day (no kidding) while Tylenol Severe Allergy stops me up two out of every four hours. I'm contemplating getting the shots so I can stop popping a veritable drug factory worth of pills for the next couple months.
