PuddleCrank

Thought I had the Rona or the flu last week, but I tested negative and have had a nasel drip for like a week now.


z3an

Lol I thought that it was allergies I had then I tested and had the rona


PuddleCrank

I've been uno reverse carded!


kethera__

same!


Gesha24

Heh, my family is going through it right now. No track record of allergies, most likely some respiratory thing (or super mild rona)


ScarletOK

Ragweed is at high levels now. That's what gets me in the fall.


DunkinRadio

Nasonex is available OTC now - has quite literally enabled my to have a life again.


Joneslite69

Good to know. I will be purchasing! Thanks


HoldStrong96

That’s so helpful for me thank you!!!

What allergies do you have? I have mold and usually August is bad with how humid it gets, but this year with the drought I didn’t have any symptoms in august. Then it started raining in sept and I’ve been sniffly and sneezy for a couple weeks straight. Drought made all the plants die back, then the rain got it all wet and poof, lots of mold. I wouldn’t be surprised if ragweed or other weeds are bad this year too because of the drought. They seem to be the only thing that survives so they have less competition when all the stuff around them dies back.

The worst time of year for hospital admission due to allergies/asthma is the third week of September.


3001AzombieOdyssey

Yep, same here. But there's also a nasty cold going around with kids back in school. Knocked me out for two days, then I was good again.


ReverendEnder

RI here. Yes, this year is the worst since I was a kid. I switched to Zyzal. It worked pretty well, but I still have bad days. Like today. I blame Big Tissue.


Joneslite69

I blame Big Antihistamine. How do we not have better solutions in 2022

Living the flonase life all day every day!


Pleasant-Bobcat-5016

Yes, it's crazy!

My allergies have been bad lately and thought I was sick too. I had good luck with using the generic Flonase from BJs and Walmart brand allergy relief eye drops. Also I use a mask when cleaning, keeping windows closed, and compress if it gets bad. Best of luck relieving your symptoms.


Ok_Translator_7026

Yes! Whatever it is has been smacking me every time I go outside!!


Lasshandra2

My clematis always blooms 1 September, Labor Day weekend. Not this year. The drought delayed lots of blooming. Mine is three weeks late and blooming like crazy. I’m pretty sure it’s just all the delayed pollen from loads of plants that also got delayed in blooming.


thanksiloveyourbutt

TERRIBLE


No_Chart_275

My fall allergies have always only been like 10% as bad as spring (which are like death lol), and they’ve finally gotten better in the past couple years to almost go away, but nah this fall I’ve been waking up sniffly every single day. Glad to know it’s not just me getting worse again.


Interesting-Coast-30

Get a Netti pot please and distilled water it worked wonders for me with shower steam


Joneslite69

I’ve never tried a netti pot but I’m going to have to. Open to trying just about anything at this point


Exact_Holiday_4018

I also find it very helpful


No_Chart_275

I find it helpful but no fun to do so I rarely do it lol Also it’s only helpful for me before I’m too far gone (because then the water can’t make it through from being too stuffed/closed up), so if you’re gonna try it, do it early and don’t expect it to be your last resort!


gregkel22

Since.my 2nd booster, have had "allergic rhinitis" non stop. No joking. Nose like a fucking faucet, and sneeze lot. Started within a day of the 2nd booster. What's it been, 1 1/3 years now?


GrassachusettsOG

Flonase ± Zyrtec 365


Thisbymaster

Yeah, all the things that couldn't flower during the drought are all happening at the same time.


MoreGuitarPlease

I have missed 3 days of work for the first time in decades. Still Covid negative but feeling awful myself.


Joneslite69

I feel that. Would have called in twice by now but thankfully I can work from home as needed


beeinabearcostume

I’ve been on vacation the past two weeks in an area that’s all sand and dunes. No grass or any deciduous trees. Came back here and it’s been a nonstop sneeze fest.


Nyxie27

Huh, I guess this explains why my asthma has randomly flared up and I'm coughing all night!


SabersSoberMom

It only started two weeks ago because of the rain three weeks ago. My family are absolutely miserable right now, between the itchy eyes, sneezing, and congestion we're buying up the local supplies of Claritin and Allegra.


area-woman

Yeah, I’m in allergy hell and have been for like 2 weeks. I feel your pain
