Seasonal allergies anyone?

I don't remember suffering seasonal allergies as a kid, but as an adult it's been horrible about the last 20 years. Working in West Virginia last week they started, nothing to bad just the stuffed up nose or the opposite runny nose. I kept looking at the forecast for my part of Oklahoma my last week of work, and noticed the pollen alerts. Needless to say after I got into Missouri the sneezing started and now that I'm home, the seasonal allergies are kicking my butt to the point I'm tempted to see if a trip to the doctor would help. The over the counter stuff doesn't seem to help much

Dude that sucks!! I can imagine all the pollen in your neck of the woods. It’s arid here in SoCal but with all the rains everything is blooming.

I read that allergies start as we get older but that’s not always the case.

My son always had seasonal allergies. He got that from my wife who got it from her dad. It sucks cause they’re sneezing and clearing their throats often. It also makes his skin itch..even as a baby.

Ya man go to the doctor. Have you gotten an allergy test? So you can kinda see what triggers it?

No I haven't, but they offer a test at my Doctor, I think I'm going to see about getting one at my next visit.
It's more annoying than anything, mostly the sneezing. When I sneeze it's not one or two times it's more like 10 in a row.

Yeah, pollen gets me. Throw a few cats into the mix and I am done. Sometimes I take Benadryl.

You can get "Chlorphen-12" from Amazon. It's the same formula as the old "Chlortrimeton", which appears not to be for sale anywhere now. It's a bit expensive, but it works -- at least for me.
