Oh, to all of you out there in the land of allergies, I have joined the club. I have been absolutely miserable for about the past month! I have never in my life had allergies before, and apparently have developed them this year. Nice. Everyone says that Kansas is horrible for allergies, and I guess the longer you live here, the more likely you are to get them. Maybe I should move....
Anyway, I went to the doctor today and was given the official diagnosis, so it is real.
I am going to try out a sample over the next few days that the doctor gave me of an allergy medication, and hopefully it will work. I have tried generic Claritin and it doesn't seem to be helping.This better help. My poor nose is raw.
So, to all of you out there in allergy land, I would love any help, tips, suggestions, remedies, etc. that work for you. I guess I am allergic to ragweed.
Sniffles and sneezes,
Me

Welcome to the club! I don't really have any suggestions... sorry. I find that most allergy medications make me feel weird - light headed and just not myself. I hate it. So unless my allergies get REALLY bad, I just suffer with the itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. As the seasons change they go away.
ah kerry, sorry to welcome you to the allergy club. i suffer like CRAZY. especially to tree pollen in the spring!!! i've tried most of the allergy meds out there and they will work for a while then they stop, like my body gets used to it. i've heard nasal washes work good when you're desperate. the degree of intensity totally varies with the days for me. wash your face a lot and wash your pillowcase and hair. helps BIG TIME.
Allergies are the worst. I don't have them consistently, in fact I never got them until one trip to colorado. I guess it's good i don't live there. Good luck!!
