Allergies

[BNB]

**** everything about them.

I'm not even exaggerating... I'm sneezing about 300 times a day. A slight breeze into my eyes would make want to claw them out with how bad they start to itch. Touch touches the soft palate? Yeah... that starts itching like a mother ****** too. I've had about 40 hours of sleep the past 10 days because my nose will clog up like a ***** whenever I'm horizontal. When I'm vertical, there's a waterfall coming from my nose... when I'm not busy sneezing.

Each year I fool myself thinking it's not going to be as bad or that I'm used to it. Shame on me.

Anyone else have it bad?

This year has been really bad. In fact, it seems like the last couple of years have been horrible. I sneeze a lot normally, but with allergies it is ridiculous.

I take Costco brand Zertec and that helps a lot with the itchy/watery eyes thing, but I still sneeze a lot and have a runny nose. Allergies suck a fatty.

My roommate went to the doctor and they told him he had all kinds of polyps in his nose that might need to be removed. They gave him some prescription nose spray and he's been pretty good since.

Not until August. That's when ragweed starts kicking my ass.

Zyrtec/cetrizine is my friend at summer's end. Dries me up like a prune and makes me a little sleepy, but the shit works.

Aww, poor baby. Wait til you have a job with a family. It'll be 4 hours a night for months at a time.

Seriously though, I have one kid on Zertec, the other on Allegra. I used to used a product prescribed called hisminal. Worked awesome.

Then around age 28, it all stopped.

allergy medication doesn't seem to help me much. I tried Zyrtec when I was younger and it didn't do much. I think it helped the itchy throat, but nothing else. Claritin seemed to work well for a year or two, then it stopped working.

Man, I wish I was allergic to cats or some shit. That way I can avoid it.

I'm not planning on having a family. Kids are too expensive.

I've never heard of or tried hisminal though.... I'll look it up and maybe give it a try.

I really havent had allergy issues since I got out of the cesspool known as my high school. I may have a day here and there, but nothing that takes me out.

EDIT: I forgot about last summer. Every festival I went to I sneezed about 300 times and couldnt breathe.

You started menopause early, eh?

I had mild allergies but got rid of them taking a triple mushroom supplement. It's a blend of maitake, shiitake, and reishi mushrooms and If you started taking a few of these at the beginning and end of each day I think you would notice a huge improvement after a week or so of taking them.

I think it is discontinued. It was killing people as it didn't go with some common foods like grapefruits. I used it for several years afterwards.

You have a brand recommendation for that?

I got from http://www.swansonvitamins.com/mobile/itemdetail/SWH168.html

Used to get sneezing attacks that would go on and on. After taking These for a bit I noticed a big improvement fast. No more sneezing even when around things that had triggered it before.

Being allergic to stuff is not a good thing, and I'm against it. Also, I'd don't like your chances to make a big splash in the long-term human gene pool.

(sorry you don't feel well)

Have you always had these allergies or did you develop them later in life; have you changed area/home? New pet? Too much dust? Do you feel better while driving with the ac/heat on? Are you sure you don't have a virus? (those fucking things are sneaky) Are you taking any meds that dampen the immune system?

(not enough info to diagnose)

 

[KittiesKorner]

you a doctor or something?

I'm a Something, second class. (Ret.)

(I also hold a Holiday Inn express receipt from last night)

 

[Mr. Cub]

Yeah, man. Sometimes during the summer I'll get times where my eyes are itchy as ****! And I sneeze like a crazy person. I hate it. It doesn't happen so much lately, luckily.

No way. Thrift store, link card, obamacare, free school, obama phone, and Save A Lot or Aldi , you can raise a kid on 50 bucks a month.

 

[Warrior Spirit]

You are but I don't see you putting in your 2 cents.

Dampened immune system? I think people that have allergies actually have a hypersensitive immune system. The immune system would needlessly go into overdrive when it the body comes into contact with harmless things like pollen and create a bunch of symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, etc. Allergies are a dysfunction of the immune system, but I don't think it's because the immune system is lacking. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I thought it worked.

I'm positive it's not a virus. I've had seasonal allergies since I was like 9. Always starts up in April-May and ends sometime in June/July.

 

[Crystallas]

Can you die from any of your allergies?

I had some allergies, then I nietzsche'd it.
