    Anybody else having thier worst allergies in a decade? I’m dying! At my daughters soccer practice last night and about 5 other parents were like me and could barely see out of their eyes. Said they don’t remember it being this bad. I’m a mess!!!!!

    Not like we needed help, because we already live in the worst place in the country when it comes to this crap!

    Yeah man, they're killing me. Gave me a sinus headache for the past 2 days, got the itchy, watery eyes. I'm taking like three different allergy meds, and might just toss a couple more in the hopper just to try to hit it from all angles.

    It sucks.

    I’m on that maximum strength Zyrtec......1 every 24 hours. At this moment I have 3 in my system and I’m still all messed up. Throat swollen up, coughing, wheezing like I have asthma, eyes burning and itchy. Sneezing and runny nose. Been like this for 2 straight weeks.

    If you can, go to the coast for the day. The sea air will clear you right up.

    Nope, my wife and I are having the usual trouble with our allergies. Nothing has increased.

    Pound fluids. Flush your body. And I mean water, not big gulps of soda.

    You might recommend that those who are the most problematic troublemakers in here, swim out to sea for maximum hay fever relief.

    Again, try recommending gulps of sea water for the worst troublemakers in here.

    It seems worse to me as well but try eliminating dairy for now, it does seem to help.

    This winter to spring was the worse one for me for my asthma. Finally got it under control with plenty of prednisone and symbicort inhalers.

    Worried I might have to get an inhaler....... scare me though that would bring me one step slower to you basement dwellers.

    Nerds are the new cool.

    Apparently cuckolding is too. You already seem to have that one down though.

    I don't know what that image means. Worst right now? Worst what?

    I never took an allergy pill in my life until I moved here. You'd think the desert would be good. NOPE!

    Pretty much through the worst of it. The last few months have been bad but I struggled through.

    I maybe took three pills this year.

    Eat dirt.

    Not an insult, a possible remedy that "may" work for you.

    Look up "diatomaceous earth food grade". It may cure everything from alergies to making your farts smell better. Plus a lot more.

    I have had allergy problems for decades. I live in a very rural area where the pollen and such gets so bad, there are times it looks like it is snowing.

    About 3 weeks ago, I started my morning with a tablespoon of D earth in water. Right now as I type, the allergy symptoms are next to nothing. It works all day for me. But I hear results may very.

    It is not exspensive, so I figured I had nothing to lose by trying it. You might say it is dirt cheap.

    Good luck.

    Go to the doc and get the old school sudafed. Not the newBS stuff but the old stuff that was restricted because it’s used to make Meth.
    I do t use it often but it dries out the sinuses eliminating the symptoms. It does nothing to help the root cause but for a few hours it will give you clarity again.

    When my allergies are bad I take Zyrtec in the morning and Benadryl at night along with Flonase and allergy eye drops. But the sudafed is my quick fix when I really need a reprieve from hell.

    I've been using a combination of three inhalers for years. Mom says it's safe.

    Making my farts smell better would definitely be an improvement.

    Did it kill the bees? DE is supposed to kill ants, as well as the bad bacteria in our bodies.
