Are anyone else's really bad this season?  I'm allergic to Maple Trees and my eyes won't stop itching, and I haven't been able to breathe properly for 2 1/2 weeks now!!!!!  Plus I look like a walking zombie because of how much I've been rubbing my eyes!!!

My allergies haven't kicked in yet (knock on wood) - I'm allergic to spring and summer.

I'm having a problem too with sneezing constantly, I find that it happens a lot in the mornings when I'm at work and then I'm fine.  I heard that Allegra works. As for me, I just think that maybe I'm allergic to work!!

I have allergies, but I am allergic to cats, dogs, dust and such so I have them all year long. I usually take claritin, but have recently switched to reactin. I have used both in the past...after a few years you become immune to the brand you are using and need to switch, so I have gone through both before.

I find they both work well, but claritin is more expensive. ALso if you are going to take allergy pills, the best time to take them is at night before you jump into bed...if you get the 24 hr ones, then the pills have had time to get into your system while you sleep, and you wake up with not too much stuffyness, and within an hour you are totally fine...all day...then take it again as stated above.

I have never had seasonal allergies but this week my eyes and nose are driving me crazy. I heard on the news that this year is going to be one of the worst for allergies and that people that are not normally affected may be.

LOL!!!!  You're funny Jules!!!   I've tried all the allergy medicines out there and they don't work.  I have Nasonex that the doctor prescribed for me but I don't like using it because it gives me a sore throat.  I'd rather deal with it than to have a sore throat.  He also prescribed Patanol eyedrops which work really well!!!  The morning is the worst for me as well, where the dew is nice and fresh on the trees.  But of course sitting outside in my back or front yard isn't even an option because we have a ravine lot  that is filled with the dreaded Maple Trees and our neighbour has a huge one in their front yard!!!
