Pollen!

Is anyone else being hammered by all this pollen? Not only is it making me sneeze constantly and has my eyes watering but today I went to do some dry firing and my G19 had a yellowish tint to it! Nothing is safe from this crap!!!

Fucking hate it. I’m popping Zyrtec like Pez.

My eyes are so bloodshot, I could cry tears of blood. Thank god for this thunderstorm in MD. Seems like once allergy medicine goes over the counter it loses its power. Claratin ain’t doing it for me anymore like it use to back in the day.

Its been pretty bad here in Texas. My Allegra is working overtime. All our cars have that yellow dusting of pollen. Sucks

You just aren’t taking enough of it, brother!

Zyrtec D for me.

Same thing here in the pacific northwest but it is mostly tree pollen and it is green this is the worst I have had it in a long time.:frowning:

I wasnt thinking and had my windows open and turned on my whole house fan, now everything in my house is yellow.

LOL! :smiley:

I couple of days ago I left the widows open in my home office and everything was covered in a fine layer of it. I had to spend over an hour cleaning before I could sit down and do any work.

I am pretty sure I had the swine flu last week, last thursday and friday I slept almost all day. This week I was just starting to feel like I was getting over it and today have been having severe allergies with sneezing attacks all day.

:rolleyes:

That shit is about to kill me. Nothing is putting a dent in it. This year just seems worse than previous years.

It’d be one thing if it was sinus issues…I’ve got a sinus rinse kit to deal with that lickety split. It’s pretty much all in the throat for me, causing me to cough and wheeze…it feels like my pneumonia is coming back.

The air is choking with the yellow crap, it’s covering everything. I’m doing photography outside and my camera lens is getting coated with it, it’s that bad. I’m seeing yellow clouds of it floating a few feet off the ground, no shit, and the air is very hazy because of it being constantly suspended. It’s almost surreal.

I have been allergy pill free for 6 months and the pollen is destroying me. I have used a neti pot a few times and I am back in business. I strongly suggest them for anyone with sinus issues and allergies. Might not deal with the itchy eyes, but breathing is improved.

I was taking zyrtec and other decongestants as needed, and often times was so stuffed up I couldn’t function.

I take non-prescription Zyrtec and prescription Flonase (nasal spray) daily year round for allergies, it works very well for seasonal allergies and for daily stuff like my cat, mold, dust etc.

During the worst part of pollen season in the spring I also take non-prescription Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (aka generic Benadryl) at nighttime before bed.

I am so happy it is pouring rain right now.

Pollen? What’s that?

:smiley:

so its not just me :slight_smile:

frigin have not been this bad in years

I was standing in the rain a week or so ago. A bystander says “yer gettin wet young man” I said “I’m washing the pollen off” I was lovin it, everyone else was running around like it was acid rain.

We have a maine-coon cat that wrecks my allergies anyway, so I take zyrtec year round for that. My pharmacist is a friend of mine and she keeps a stock of non-perscription generic zyrtec on hand. I get a three month supply for $8. Chattanooga sits in a valley and the vegetation is THICK! this place is like the land of the lost some times. I work outside and the zyrtec seems to help with poison ivy as well, it doesn’t seem to bother me as bad. It’s funny when allergy season hits, I feel like some two bit drug dealer with the guys as work wanting me to pick them up some of that cheap zyrtec. :smiley:

My ears and sinuses have been plugged for about two weeks now. I can handle the sinuses, but the ears drive me crazy.

I am in south Alabama and my white car looks like a cat peed all over it at night when I come out in the morning, not to mention the piles of pollen from all the oaktrees everywhere. This is killing me
