It’s hitting hard for me at the moment and it’s making me miserable. What do you do to combat the torture of allergies?

Small rant

Pollen allergies are why I really dislike Spring and Summer. I’d rather deal with a Winter cold than Spring/Summer allergies.

    Cetirizine works like a charm for me, I only take if I start to have symptoms and I may be lucky because I’ve never felt any of the listed side effects.

    For me, i found that when the pressure in my head gets extremely bad from blowing my nose constantly, laying down for a few hours helps.

    I wear headphones, so I think it traps the pressure inside. Therefore, I lay down without wearing them. (IDK if that’s true or not)

    Most meds for me don’t help, but the Flonase nasal spray I’ve seen people mention does help.

    Yo! Eat local honey! The same stuff that is making you miserable also makes happiness. And, by eating the honey, you ingest the pollen and build immunity to it. If it doesn’t work, you’ve still eaten honey and that doesn’t suck.

    Suffer.

    I took allergy shots for years, and I’m still doubled up on prescription and OTC meds daily. It’s not perfect, but it’s manageable now. So…

    Suffer Be inconvenienced.
