Spring Allergies

Post by Hawthorne » Sat Apr 16, 2005 4:53 am

I am suffering from spring allergies right now. Yesterday I was very bad - starting the symptoms around 4 PM. Because I was so bad, I didn't use my nasal pillows last night but went back to my mask . Had the pillows on but didn't seem to be able to breathe very well. I was okay with mask but prefer the pillows. Today I will take allergy meds but it could happen again since I don't like to take these meds any more that really necessary. They are 24 hour non-drowsy and I don't want to take them that late in the day because I may not sleep. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Ask your doc about Flonase or the like. It is a steroid nose spray, but I personally couldn't make it through allergy season without it.
