I have to take Clarinex year round. I have 5 dogs and am allergic. Plus Indiana is a horrible place for allergy sufferers. Claritin and Allegra are both supposed to be just as effective, but only Clarinex works well for me. I use nasonex nose spray too. The Clarinex is pretty expensive since my insurance considers it a non formulary. Claritin just doesn't work for me and Allegra makes my back ache. Go figure.

Oh man that must hurt!!! Dude, sorry to hear about the allergies. Mine have changed over the years. Dog and cat allergies have improved....never could have been around them before. But now I've developed an allergy to raspberries....and I really like fresh raspberries. *sigh* That's life for ya.

My allergies are a killer too. I have to take allergy meds all year round. I have to switch them up every so often, because they eventually just stop working.
I'm allergic to cats, wich I have two of, Cockatoo dust, wich I also have one of, dogs, dust, anything that releases pollen...
Flonase is my best friend.

Couldn't have said it better!! I started taking Flonase 11 years ago and have basically been allergy free since. I use to go through a box of tissues a week, now maybe a box a year.

No allergies here...
Instead, I decided to have an MI (heart attack), a TIA (mini-stroke), high BP, diabetes, hiatal hernia and a ventral hernia.
But at least I'm not sneezing my keester off! :D

If you are allergic to pollen or trees, find a raw honey that was grown close to you home. Take a tablespoon everyday. You will slowly build up a tolerance to the pollen.

Im allergic to cats, which we have 2 that just love to sleep on me. Over the past few years whenever I take allergy meds I get hives, go figure. The doc says that allergy pills wouldnt do that, but they only appear when I take the allergy meds.

I just had seasonal allergies in Minnesota, but here in Missouri it's constant. I'm living on Sudafed Maximum Strength Sinus and Allergy.
In Oklahoma, I used to have allergies so bad I retreated to the house [home office] and rarely came out when things were growing. Had filters everywhere, couldn't stand dust, was on the shots, couldn't eat various things, overdosed on decongestants....was on the shots for 7 years, gained weight, overate to stay awake [allergies can make you lethargic], and was rapidly growing into serious overweight which complicated the breathing problems.
I moved north, to an area where the wind starts out over the sea and the mountains, and took up figure skating with a pro instructor. I'm in the wheat-growing end of Washington, but I have no problems most of the time, [except fire season] and when I do, the rink cures them: combination of cold, clean air and break-a-sweat exercise for 2 hours a day. I'm 50 lbs lighter and 20 years younger than I started, up here. If you live in an area where you can't get away from it, the worst thing in the world to do is what I did---retreat to the house and filters. Best thing is heavy exercise: gets the adrenaline up, and that helps fight the allergies. [Friend of mine who knows me was talking on the phone with me, and I had an allergy attack---friend said, "I'll cure it," and proceeded to tell me something guaranteed to get my Irish up. Worked. Immediately, I could breathe. That told me something.]
