Who else is suffering with allergies? My mom and me are almost u

gato : I remembered seeing this the other day. If you click on the three lines on the top left, go to weather, it'll also show you the pollen counts. I think everyone is having issues. Mine are headaches but not stuffiness, yet. www.houstonhealth.or g/services/pollen-mo ld/houston-pollen-mo ld-count-wednes

The mold count has been high. Could be the cause. That's one which affects me a lot.

gato :
Several things could be affecting you. Pollen counts for both weeds and mold were high yesterday. Additionally there was an ozone alert for sensitive groups yesterday and for today.

gato :
Plus the air is unhealthy which isn't helping. Be sure to take Zirtec & an inhaler they help!🙏

gato :
I am always having allergies. I think I am allergic to air. I do take an allergy pill that helps a lot.

ME! The last few days = sinus pain intermittent, stuffiness, itchy eyes, periods of 10+ sneezes and dripping. I just suffer through it unless it is my eyes and I use Naphcon A eye drops. Mold is my trigger and we have a ton of that plus ozone is high. Bring on the rain!

Texasdad , KanKan , PeggyAnnR , Kittle , jv339 , Donnawisdom , cbear : Oof. Tooke some benadryl at 12 p.m. and just woke up thinking it was tomorrow already. But feeling waaay better!!!
Hope all of you are feeling better too!!

gato :
I constantly have allergy issues. I work in the yard most every day.

gato :
I generally suffer from bad allergies, no matter what the season is. I felt like I was battling a sinus infection earlier this week, but managed to avoid it with various allergy medicines. The ozone is on high alert right now, and I think both mold and pollen is high as well. Hope you and your Mom start feeling better soon!

gato: yes, flowers blooming now, adding to the pollen count.my sister says Allegra works well for her; non prescription. Hope you can get some rest!

Info for today…

gato : Thank you! I do feel a bit better today.

Thought I'd post a reminder here to you, and others who might take benedryl, that it has been linked with an increased rate of dementia.www.health.harvard.e du/blog/common-antic holinergic-drugs-lik e-benadryl-linkIn particular, this was interesting:
"When the researchers examined the use of anticholinergic drugs, they found that people who used these drugs were more likely to have developed dementia as those who didn't use them. Moreover, dementia risk increased along with the cumulative dose. Taking an anticholinergic for the equivalent of three years or more was associated with a 54% higher dementia risk than taking the same dose for three months or less."Zyrtec and Claritin have a much lower risk of this. Allegra apparently has no detected dementia risk.

Man, thank you so much for this. I finished a whole packet of benadryl last year. I will be changing to Allegra. Benadryl is heavy on the brain. I feel drowsy for days after taking a dose
