I hate allergies...

[evil_twin]

Who's got them? When I was a kid, I never had them, it's just as the past few years that every spring I start sneezing and my nose gets stuffed up. WTF!

Seasonal... my 5 year old has them year round. The doctor hasn't requested any specific testings, yet. He just gives us a script for Claritin for her.

body chemistry changes periodically roughly 4 years + you will develop and sometimes lose allergies symptoms. I had no allergy until 14 then I started becoming allergic to chlorine in pools, then by age 24 I started to have dust, mold, or pollen allergy. I dont know, but recently that all kind of subsided and its not as extreme.

neti-pot

helps curb many seasonal/hay-fever like symptoms

[eurotrashm20]

^^^ this.

I suffer year round. I am allergic to at least one thing that pollinates in spring, summer, and fall and then dust. Dr. said I should live in a bubble.

I need to try that neti-pot deal. Spring allergies have kicked my ass for the past 5 years. Never had them before that. I hate Ohio.

[b*saint]

Yea I get them pretty bad from march to may.

Claritn worked. Then it didn't. So I took Claratin D. That worked then stopped when it went over the counter. Then I moved on to Zytertec, Alavert, etc, they worked for me then stopped after a while. So what now? Benedryl. I take Benedryl and pass the fuck out, but at least I don't sneeze and have itchy eyes the whole time. But keep in mind I don't use Benedryl all the time, that would be stupid.

But the worst? Cat allergies. Every girlfriend I've had has had a cat.

Yup, getting beat up pretty bad right now. Alder/birches are dumping pollen.

All the perscriptions I've been on:

Claritin
Zyrtec
Alegra
Flonase
Patanol
Patanase

Last two are the only ones that work at all for me.

Mine seem to go nuts with the temperature changes, beginning of winter/spring

[kamotors]

I get horrible allergies at the end of every summer, non of the off the shelf stuff works for me.

I bet you had strep all year. Not 13 times in 1 year, that just seems odd.

No i did at one point. I allways had strep when i lived in Georgia and went to get the penicillin shot. One year I had strep 13 times and the doctor was like ok fuck it you need surgery. So i had my tonsils and adenoids taken out. That was back in 4th grade Ive been out oh high school for over 6 years and i get sick maybe once every 2 years.
