I still have my small fan going, though, since the flow is pretty poor.<br /><br />Oh, the clean-your-nose, wash-your-hair, take antihistamine advice is pretty first level. I mean, who complains about allergies who hasn't already done that? That's how I live my life. When I see a doctor for allergies, it's because I'm taking 12-hour antihistamine every 2 hours. Plus pseudephedrine.<br /><br />The ragweed isn't even the worst. Come late November, the cedar pollen will be actively engaged in terrorism.

I don't think I have ever felt such hatred for anything as those taunting yellow fronds.<br /><br />Some people recommend the Neti pot or irrigators (I can't, drives me nuts), at least washing your hair out before bed to wash out some pollen, sunglasses to keep it out of your eyes, but that only helps some. There are some antihistamine nose sprays, and some say you can take Claritin and Zyrtec since they have different mechanisms (12 hrs. apart). You prob. know all that, and not much of it helps with asthma.<br /><br />Hope the air is back on--egads!FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.com
