Allergies

Are any of you other allergy sufferers having a really hard time today? Is the pollen count at a crazy all time high?. Ahhh I hate having allergies.

Re: Allergies

I have the worst allergies in the spring. I am miserable!! I had to call in last thursday (the first real nice day of the spring) because I couldn't breathe. Worst part is I am allergic to allergy medicine. Probably the only person in the world. I took a Zyrtec last year and was rushed to the emergency room an hour later. FUN times. Hate the spring!! COME ON SUMMER.

Re: Allergies

I get bad allergies in the spring too but they affect me differently...I get realllllllllly tired and dizzy, bad headaches, also mixed with running nose, eyes, etc. It's awful. I really have to push myself to do anything. I have been feeling very under the weather with allergies lately.

Re: Allergies

I have really really bad allergies. I take clarinex; alavert and get 2 allergy injections every other week. With all of this I feel alot better; but I used to have flu like symptoms from my allergies. You might want to call an allergist to see if you are a cnadidate for allergy injections.

That's pretty bad. I used to go for shots but I couldn't take it anymore because when I would get the shots I would feel weird after. I hated it so I just stopped going.

ugh.. its not too terrible.. in the winter/fall I felt great.. but as soon as the spring started I was like this big mess.. so the doc told me to take Clarinex (the prescription one) every day that I get the shots.. and really I feel fine after but i didnt have a bad reaction to something yesterday night and I had to take 2 benedryls to call down the redness and the rashes ... I think it was either molds or trees.. UGH

Re: Allergies

Yes I am suffering! I wake up every morning with a sinus headache!! I am trying new drug combos and I am just miserable and out of it. And to top it all off today, I am feeling a little light headed and dizzy and my whole office building is swaying from the wind!!

I have a sinus headache today too and I can't take sinus medication. Maybe I should pick up some allegra maybe it will help.

Re: Allergies

I was out of work on Friday because of my allergies. I have been waking up with a sore throat. My eyes were puffy and I was sneezing all over the place. And this is on top of the fact that I take Singular and Allegra everyday.

Re: Allergies

I know. Its horrible. I read an article on AIM.com and they said that Zertech ( i spelled it wrong lol) is the best over the counter to be on.

Will it make me shaky? I am really sensitive with those tupes of over the counter meds.

Re: Allergies

YES!!!! That is so funny because I normally have HORRIBLE allergies (it's so bad that I am now allergic to most fruits because they have pollen in them!) and I was doing SO good this year up until today! The second I woke up I went into a sneezing fit and I knew it was not going to be pretty!

Honestly I do not know. I have never tried it myself. I have been suffering lately so I was going to pick it up. You may just have to try it. Because, medicine has different effects on everyone. I have been on Mucinex and I love it, my co-worker took it and it made her want to sleep. So, its different for everyone. Good luck :)
Feel better.

if you are sensitive you should take advil allergy and sinus.. its a green box and its pretty hard to find cuase its so popular.. but seriously thats the best over the counter that I have ever taken.. so you can try that
