Is this year's pollen season just extra-awful? I'm normally not bothered a great deal by allergy season, but my eyes look like I've been hit by baseballs and they itch like a sonofagun. Miserable miserable miserable!

Anyone else "enjoying" this glorious spring?

Yes it is worse than normal, and the mosquitoes seem much worse to me also.

I've never had any allergies and never been affected by pollen but something got hold of me last week and I was miserable for three or four days. One night I was so clogged up I couldn't sleep. But it ran it's course and I'm back to normal.

Someone told me the mountain cedar coming down from Colorado has a particular mold on it that's causing the trouble.

I started having issues way back in January. I've been on a daily regimen of Claritin 24 ever since. I'm not having any issues right now.

I haven't been having airborne allergies, but I've suddenly developed sensitivity to the soap and shampoo I've been using.

Yes, whatever my enemies are, are really getting to me. The humidity doesn't help either. If I laugh hard, I have a coughing fit. I wouldn't take nose drops for years...but Dymista is one that you look down and use it It doesn't seem to go in to my throat or if it does, it's not so obnoxious. Also take Advair inhaler twice a day.

Yes it's worse than usual, especially when I go on my bike rides. I sneeze and have itchy eyes. Going to start using the Flonase more. It seems to help when I remember to use it.

Everyone around me seems worse. I normally don't get it.
I thought the grand gave me something and it's lasted 4 weeks but I have decided it's a rough season for allerigies

I have been fighting flu like symptoms for a week; missed 3 days of work, which hasn't happened since I had cornea transplants in the late 1980's...

Getting older is not fun, but it beats the alternative...

I missed a day back in January. That was the first day of work I'd missed in about 15 years.

Last year was terrible; this year not so much.

I have had had a lot of puffiness/bags under ,,y eyes each morning. Ice seems to help. Mosquitos have never been a major problem for us until this year. They are brutal. But, it will get better.
