Unhappy Allergies Suck!!!

So now we're finally having some great weather here after those freak rain storms earlier this year but now the allergy season has kicked in & it seems like it kicked in hard. My eyes are watery, runny nose, sneazing like crazy, & my throat feels like it has needles in it. This freakin sucks! Everyone around me looks like they're getting hit as well. Anyone else?

My allergies haven't been this bad in a long time. Might have to start getting the shots again.

Clartin doesn't work for me for some reason. It does for some folks but I suffered the last time I tried it. The only thing that seems to work personally is Tylenol Severe Allergy although I just came back from the store & bought their new Tylenol Allergy Complete which you can only get if you bring up the tab to their pharmacy. We'll see if this works well for me.

the shots aren't that effective & if they work it takes yrs. The blockers that Denmead gives out are vary effective.

Same here, but my allergies are way worse up here in Vancouver compared to what they were in the Bay Area. Going to try the shots next year, but it seems the only medications that do me any good are the ones that make me drowsy

My hay fever is surprisingly not as bad as past seasons (so far)... hopefully it remains that way.

A 16oz can of Rock Star energy drink and 3 pills of benadryl fixed me earlier today.

I don't know if this is safe or not, but mixing caffeine and antihistamine has worked for me so far.

Isn't allergy season for this year supposed to be worse than the past years?

I never have allergy problems but this year is insane! I was trying to work on my Z this weekend but I gaveup because I couldn't stop sneezing when I was under my car. She's still sitting outside on 4 jackstands about a foot in the air
