Allergies

[Sariel]

So it's that time of year again... the sun is coming out more often, the weather is beautiful, I can sit comfortably on a beach and smoke pot with my friends... I love this after the long dreary winter we had..

However, it's also the start of allergy season, and I have allergies in force... I am sitting here at work, doped up on antihistemiens (sp?), and sinus'es feel like they are about to explode all over my computer screen.

Not to mention the slight itchy rash I get over my hands at this time of the year...

I get allergies real bad.. I mean REALLY bad... Once, when I was younger, my parents took me to Buchart Gardens (In Victoria, HUGE series of gardens filled with all sorts of pretty flowers for those of you who don't know it) and after taking about a dozen steps into the place, my allergies to pollen hit me so badly I passed out then and there.

Most of the medications I take don't really work to well, I seem to get only minor relief... Can anyone recommend anything I might try?

go to the doctor

I don't know what it's called, but my doc gave me this shit that works MIRACLES...

which reminds me, I need him to prescribe it for me again!

allergy shots!!

i started them last september and usually by now i'd be feeling like shit!! but i can actually breath at night, and during the day im never congested or have the sniffles

ask your doctor about them.. you wont be able to start the treatment until after allergy season though
