And what medication do you take for them (see above poll)...i ******* hate allergies, and in this hideous ******* state i get them from like late march until october. which is pretty much all the goddamned time, and when its not, its cold enough for my nose to be running like hell anyhow.
so lets talk about allergies...what are your like and what do you do to combat them?
mine i get stuffy yet somehow at the same time runny nose, sneezing, severe itchy eyes to including swelling shut, itching, nausea (probably from all the damn snot running down my throat making me sick), drowsiness (partially from the medication and partly from trying to concentrate on life instead of my horrendous allergic reactions), chronic nosebleeds (some years i get them some i dont), and headaches (probably from the sinuses). only cool thing is my sinuses are so ****** up i can blow air out my left eye tear sac thing.
ive tried to get allergy testing/shots but because im Army ill never be home all 52wks out of a year to get a shot once a week.
ive tried:
* Claritan A,B,C,D,E...whatever the whole goddamned alphabet of claritan products
* Allegra different sized doeses
* Zyrtec
* Flownase
* Over the counter bulls***
claritan didnt work for s*** on me, i might as well have been taking sugar capsules. allegra 180mg TWICE per day worked damn well, but the doctor said i could damage my kidney or liver or something taking that much, and wouldnt prescribe that much for me. im taking zyrtec now, and it pretty much works like smaller does of allegra. flownase does nothing for me, and over the counter bulls*** works for me if i double up but then im knocked the **** out. the other medications only make me partly drowsy.
basically im ******* miserable 9 months out of the year. i cant wait to move. in pennsylvania my allergies lasted from like very late may until mid july. ******* oklahoma...only reason texas doesnt fall into the gulf of mexico is because oklahoma sucks so bad.
