I've been sick twice this year with pretty much the same problems you have. It will last five to seven days and then get better (hopefully). PS. Make sure you soak those mouth calls in something to avoid germs.

Man I am feeling you with the sneezing and sniffling. I suffered for years until I finally had a doc that understood allergies. He put me on Flonaise (nose spray), cingular, and zertec. Any of those may have been misspelled. The Doc said each medicine attacks a different "receptor" in my nose. Whatever!!!! All I know is that the allergy cocktail I take now works like a charm and a feel like a new guy! some of the OTC stuff never really did much for me. Good luck!!!

Big time allergy sufferer here. Did the shots years ago with great results. Recommend it highly. Now I do Flonase and have not had any issues. Talk to your doctor.

You forgot one other big joy of spring - ticks. They're out in force. Put up two blinds and had to spray down real good. Man I hate those things and this area is always loaded.

Guess I am lucky on the allergy thing, but my wife gets them all. The thing that helped her the most was the Nehtie pot, sure it is misspelled. Anyway she flushes her nose morning and night, sometimes midday if she has cut grass or something. They make others for the nose too. All I know is she can flush her nose with this thing and most of her symptoms go away. Might want to look into it. It directly removes the pollen from your sinuses.

As for ticks, hate them, use permethrin religiously. Will probably treat my clothes every other week this year.
