Damn Pollen


It's time to admit it. I have allergies. Never before has the spring pollen taken such control of my head. The creases in my eyelids hurt. My eardrums ache. How do all of you who suffer from regular allergies (much worse than mine) deal with it? I guess I'm about to find out. The doctor prescribed Clariton. Wish us luck.

It's no wonder the pollen causes health issues. Just look at the layer of yellowish-green dust covering your car. We're breathing that crap in! If any of you have tips on how to deal, please share.

It won't cure anything - but if the pressure gets to be too much, I like a warm compress on the sinuses. It helps relieve the pain and also sometimes helps to loosen things up a bit. It especially helps right before bed.

Thanks! I'll try it tonight. Much appreciated.

I am suffering, as well. I don't know if it's allergies or a cold but my ears actually hurt when I blow my nose! I'm miserable! Claritin didn't touch it for me.

Sorry honey! The Clariton really worked for me. Doesn't help with high pressure in the air, but it zapped the pollen right outta my head.
