My allergies are that of a 7 year old ostrich. I am miserable. My eyes looked like some sort of insect laid eggs in them.

AJ you are a true poet. Have you tried anti-histamine drugs?

When I was elementary school I took allergy shots for about 2 years. It helped quite a bit.

I take allegra every day and sometimes if it's really bad, i take some benadryl at night before i go to bed.

There's about two weeks in the spring and two weeks in the fall where i really think that if some one gave me an "end it all now" button, i'd be very tempted. But outside of those two weeks (and so long as i'm not around cats) i'm cool.

been terrible the last week. never used to have them as a kid, but last 7-8 years it just gets worse and worse every spring/summer. i don't take drugs for it... maybe i should, because dlew's end it all button sounds pretty good.

I take zrtec(?) and flonase and I haven't noticed a tinge of allergy this spring. Fall is worse for me but it's been great.

AppleJack · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2013, 09:27:24 PM »

I just wanted to give everyone an update. I was able to find my way to CVS and pick up my Zyrtec and the results are promising. I am by no means out of the woods yet but I bet within the next 6-8 months I'll be back to normal. Thanks everyone for the T's & P's and I leave you in the grace and favor of the lord.

Move to OC California near the beach, no more allergies. Worked for me.

Allegra, Zyrtec and Claritin are all different drugs to my knowledge. I take Claritin one day and Allegra the next, and during the 2-weeks that DLEW mentioned I take both the same day. Seems to work...?

Call me when my Nobel prize gets here.

I personally prefer Zyrtec

Pro tip: CostCo sells generic cetirizine in bottles of 365 for $16.

at paying $1/pill at Walmart/CVS

You can get similar deals at most pharmacies I think. I get bottles of 300 at Kellstroms on Sunset.

This. Had horrendous allergies my whole life. Moved here and they completely disappeared.

A Claritan every day keeps the Allergies Away.

I finally bit the bullet and went to the allergist last month and got the skin test thing. Turns out I am allergic to a shitload of crap, so I'm starting shots next week. Cats and hayfever are the worst. Did you know that you can apparently be allergic to roaches?!?

They're awful right now you guys.

Allergies? Do those come with pocket protectors and head gear?

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 26, 2015, 11:32:04 AM »

They usually come with pollen and ragweed for me.
