Just use concealer if it gets really embarrassing for you and your wife.

I could never go that far. Nasal sprays are bad enough for me. But no itchy eyes or crazy runny nose? I'll take it.

Oh, they are the greatest. The only symptom I have is sinus headaches. Neti twice a day and it helps tremendously I missed last night and this morning, sinus pain is back. It was a bit freaky the first couple of times, but it feels great afterwards.

I threw $11 after this at lunch. Either I'm too stuffed for it to make a difference, or it's shit.

And what I really should have bought, but didn't, was a box of tissues.

Apparently you didn't read the directions on the back! It takes a couple days to go into effect.

I used to take claritin and allegra. Now it's this and the store-brand allergy medication sometimes.

I assumed you wouldn't recommend a remedy that takes up to a week to go into full effect to someone suffering from acute symptoms. I'm married, with two kids. I don't have time to wait!

Not allergies, I don't think, but I feel like death warmed over. Kids brought home a cold from school. I'm the last one to get it. If my kids had it this bad, they're way tougher than me. Perfect timing, as I'm at a really good conference.

Can I stay in this cycle? 0 spring seasonal allergies. I was that kid relegated to the house when somebody mowed their lawn, so I'm really enjoying the lack.

My sister-in-law is just miserable this week, though. Apparently SJ got slammed with off the chart pollen.

I never had allergies until recently, and never bad, but my eyes are burning, dry and feel like they have sand in them. I don't think it was contacts related, either.

It's officially spring. I've taken Nasacort, Claritin, Mucinex and a Tylenol Cold today and still feel like garbage.

I was preloading the Nasa(o?)cort too. Boo. Granted, I mowed the yard today and did other yardwork, but the warm temps this year are ramping the allergies up big time.

Speaking from experience, find yourself a prescription for Dymista. Thank me later. Seriously. Go do it. Buy me some nice rare offerings from Boulevard at some point in time in the future. The cost of the beer will be exponentially less than the relief you will feel.

Hope it works for you like it has for me. When the oak trees start to pollenate here, it used to mean a good six weeks of terror for me. Not anymore.

I believe Dymista was once described to me as Nasacort and Flonase in one medicine. It could be horse urine, and I'd still snort it religiously during spring allergy season.

It's juniper season in the ABQ. Looks like I'm probably allergic to it.

Not only that, the dry climate at this altitude makes me have uncontrollable post workout coughing. It's probably this.

I've been taking tessalon pearls and an allergy med daily, but I'm feeling like shit regardless. I'm making an appointment tomorrow. I've never felt like this before. It sucks.

We (everyone?) had a mild winter, and I feel like my allergies are starting to really kick in this week. Today is the first day my eyes are bugging me. I'm trying Zyrtec this year.

On year two of Flonase, and it's better than anything else I've tried recently, but my car turned green over night and my eyes are in bad shape this morning. Hopefully we're in the endgame now.

We've used all the meds for my daughter, and Xyzal is the best so far.

I only started getting seasonal allergies 7 or 8 years ago.

With the rainy shitty spring we've had here, there's been nothing. But around the 15th hole yesterday (golf course finally in bloom) I started feeling like shit. 2 hours later, it was the whole cornucopia of spring allergy symptoms. Brutal.

Got the medicine (Aerious) which let me sleep, but my head is like a beer keg of snot right now.

I'm noticing the nasal hoses inside my cheeks alongside my nose are swollen. Popped a Zyrtec to see if that helps.
