My allergies get worse every year. I also have asthma, and have started having to use an inhaler quite often, where as years ago I might use it once or twice a year.
Love ya, Kathy

I take one Allegra a day and it works well. Also covering my boxspring and mattress with dustmite proof covers and washing all my bed linens weekly with a little bleach. I'm allergic to dust of all things and vacuuming used to kill me. Now I wear a dust mask so I don't sneeze myself silly. Also I replace my pillows twice a year because believe it or not after a few years they say..... they are one fourth full of dust mite casings....Yuck!

I have had allergies all my life as well. I take a Zyrtec everyday and this usually handles it (although it makes everything dry) I have noticed that my eyes seem to be giving me more of a problem in the past couple of years but I think age might be part of that as well.
If nothing else works. There is this OTC I get from Walmart. It is a little green pill called Equate Pain & Congestion Relief. ( It only has two ingredients) if I get the one with three ingredients I have adverse side effects.

Hope this or something helps. Allergy trouble will drain you have your energy too.
Good Luck!

I've gone through the allergy testing, and then through the series of shots three different times...in PA, in Las Vegas and in CA, because there was different stuff to be allergic to. While I didn't like going through all the testing and shots, it was better than taking the knock out medications that sometimes helped and sometimes didn't.

My allergies do seem worse this year, but this has been a bad one for allergies and stuff. Prayers and hugs.

Hi, Becky. I've never been tested for allergies but I was sneezing and itching this fall so much I finally went to the doctor. She put me on Zyrtec which has helped alot. I hope you find something to help soon.

I never was allergic to anything before fibro, now lots of things. Doctor says it goes with the condition. Hope you find relief. hugs

I had not one allergy til 2 years ago...now it seems I am either allergic to or sensative to ALOT of things...

In my home I keep out any dust I can...besides self cleaning I also make sure to get my heat/air ducts cleaned once a year...vacuum my floors... and have them steam cleaned at least twice a year...I bought some very GOOD purifiers...vaccum my bed every week...
outside...i try to stay away from just cut grass {But OH I love that smell...and I Put Local Honey in my coffee or tea every single morning !!...that has helped ALOT with any pollen allergies !!

the rest of it i just have to deal with it i guess....according to my Dr. anyway...cause I am sensative to anything they try on me

It does seems that my allergies get worse every year. I've been making some aroma salts for my sinuses. It helps me breathe easier. I also put a rice heating pad across my sinus area. That seems to help break it up.

HI Becky
I have dealt with allergies for years...Recently they are worse and now I have vertigo which MAY be allergy related.. I am presently taking claritin and rhinocort spray and antivert for the vertigo.

My allergies definitely were worse this year. My 9 year old son just got tested, and he is allergic to many things. The dr. prescribed Nasonex and said that should handle all of the symptoms, certainly not curative though, but the shots are 80 percent of the time, but I'm going to wait a year or two before I subject him to all those shots! He's such a trooper though! I'm just glad his symptoms are clearing up, the excessive clearing of his throat was driving his sister nuts!!! Maybe it's all of the things we plant now??

COULD IT BE TO THE VERY DRY SEASON WE HAD THIS YR? I LIVE IN THE DEEP SOUTH AND MOST OF THE TIME HERE THE HUMIDTY IS VERY HIGH,NOT THIS YR THO, WE ALSO HAD A DRY SEASON AND THAT'S NOT USUAL FOR LOUISIANA. JUUST A THOUGHT?

my who family has been having a bbad year with allergies, the dr said it is the worst year in a long time for them. has anyone tried saline nose spray it the closest to natural you can get. it helps clear the sinuses without drying them.
