I've been on Claritin for a month or 2 and just recently started bombing myself with that green thing you jam up your nose. I've had a post nasal drip all winter and it seems to be tailing off a bit.

Having come off this winter we just did, I embrace this "elephant on chest" season with open friggin arms.

not yet, ill be on zyrtec and nasonex in the next week- this winter I had 3 sinus infections and post nasal drip

side note- living by the beach limits the amount of pollen I get.

when I lived in somerset, it was the worst! I decided to eat local honey by the glass and it relieved a lot of the symptoms-

Both my wife and I started today with all 3 of those symptoms. Need to re-stock my inventory of local honey.

on those nice days i try not to ride, as much as it is great to get out, it really is traumatizing to the sinus passageways.

tree pollen is upon us, according the pollen sites it's maple and junipers
9.2 tomorrow, drops a bit with the rain then back to 9.5 on Sunday

my daughter and wife started their eye drops last week, otherwise they'd look like Jake Lamotta

I sprinkle pollen on my Oatmeal in the winter so I build up a tolerance...

I put that sh#t on everything.






On a serious note, I use a combination of zyzal and flonase for my allergies and this combo seems to be the cure for me .
If you have chronic allergies, you need to go to the Dr and try different medications. I tried a shit load before I found some that work for me.

This guy at work spent two years going for allergy shots where they injected him with small doses of the stuff he was allergic to so he could build up his immunity. He would come back from a session and say "Dude, if I go into anaphylactic shock, can you stick me with this epipen so I don't die and call 911?"

Couple years later, he was good and stopped going.. Then a couple more years later, he's back to having allergies again.

Went to the doc on saturday because I've had one side sinus congestion on and off for a month - thought it was a sinus infection from that nasty cold earlier in the winter. Turns out it's allergies so they recommended this:

Seems to be working after a few days - much improved breathing through my nose.

Man that sucks, I was considering going to get allergy shots. My allergies get pretty bad in the spring and fall and I hate taking all those drugs!
