So how bad are your allergies right now? Used the inhaler for the first time in months Friday and have my daily date with Zyrtec right now. Seriously considering taking up the allergist on allergy shots.

Anyone else having fun?

It's so bad here, the meth-heads are trying to get the Sudafed back out of their mixes.

Awful. Worst year I can remember in a while (I used to sell allergy Meds).

Only had allergies once in my life, about 3 or 4 yrs ago. Getting over a nasty head and chest cold now though.

Get a shot every week and take singular, claratin and flonase in the morning and benadryl at night.

The really bad has already passed thank goodness.

I live on Claritin-D. Mine aren't as bad as they used to be when I cut grass during the summer in high school.

I'm using my Neti Pot twice daily instead of once. It seems to be controlling my sinus issues this Spring.

I'm genetically superior, I don't have a single allergy.

I thought ladies never floated air in public.

I've heard that, but the doc told me to also be careful about it because there's no control of the allergen in it like there would be with an allergy shot. So it could cause a severe reaction.

It's worked great for every person I know that has tried it. He also doesn't sell it for the pharmaceutical reps that spend so much time and money for him to push their meds.

At worst I might sneeze one or two times.

It's truly awful.

Well to be fair, the same doc had me try an elimination diet, Neti pot, and the whole nine yards before recommending meds. He probably pushes less drugs than most any specialist I've seen.

I know folks have had mixed results with it. But it probably depends on what all are your allergy triggers as well.

I only get itchy eyes and a headache.

Nothing major.

Hardly ever have seasonal allergies, but they got me this year. Broke down and went to the base clinic just this morning to get fixed up. Awful.

Today's the first day I could breath properly in 5 weeks.

Got sick.

Allergies hit.

Think I got sick again somehow with allergies. Double whammo.

I've never used an inhaler, but I definitely needed one.

Never touched the Zyrtec, though.

Ouch, that must've sucked.

Glad you're on the other side of that
