basscatcher Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 The dang allergiy season is here AGAIN.. NO wonder I was sick on Monday and went home early on Tuesday. Yesterday my eyes started to water. Now today they are active again. Itchy, watery, mucus laden eyes. My nose itches and my skin feels irratated. I hate it when the damn trees open up and spread their nasty pollen in the wind. There is so much white cottony stuff floating around. I actually get a build up of it in my eyes and have to wipe it out. I hate this. I will look like I have been crying all day by the time I am done with work... UGHHH so much for putting on eye makeup this morning. I'm bald eyes now. If there was only a allergy med that didn't make you drowsy!!
whichwayisup Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Try chloritriplon or sinus tylenol. They work for me! And it's non-drowsey.
brightskies Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 My allergist gave me Clarinex --- non-drowsy, works pretty well. But I'm thinking of ditching the pills and going the natural route. So, I haven't taken them in a while and am suffering along with you until I figure out what to replace the pills with.

It builds a resistance to local pollen. It must be locally produced though, and from "free range" bees (bees not localized to one plant, like orange blossoms, in order to create a specific tasting honey)
alphamale Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 and from "free range" bees yeah...aren't they unionized under AFFRHB? The American Federation of Free Range Honey Bees.
KittenMoon Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 yeah...aren't they unionized under AFFRHB? The American Federation of Free Range Honey Bees. Jeez- can't even talk about something as innocuous as honey w/o a smart-ass remark from you.

My allergies are more cat-related. Any ideas for cat allergies? Don't want to get rid of him.

Well, most people are allergic to cat DANDER. Maybe if you gave him food or supplements that improved his skin quality so he had less dander, that would help. Also, vaccuum every day, maybe get an air filter?

My step-mother has a load of it from when my dad had his hives--before he went into the hospital and later nursing home.. He used the bee stings as venom theraphy for his MS.. It actually worked for him. I have a few bottles of natural very minimally processed honey in the cupboard. mostly clover honey.. My herbalist told me to stay away from honey though? Honey has natural antibiotics in it i do know this. Lets see if I can swallow a teaspoon of honey. Here comes the sticky.. Hey alpha-- nevermind....
