My head is killing me and it happens way too often.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Saturday, 6 August 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

So what is it that gives vicious allergice reactions in August? Seriously, advice hugely appreciated.

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 6 August 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

ragweed season!

― mike h. (mike h.), Saturday, 6 August 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

For me, it is primarily mold. Where do you live?

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Saturday, 6 August 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

Ragweed comes in to it too, generally late in August around here (Philadelphia).

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Saturday, 6 August 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

Even if you don't know what it is causing the problem, you could experiment with only going outside during certain parts of the day and see if some times of day are worse. (They usually should be.) Of course, staying in-doors may not be a choice, or may not seem worth it. I seem to generally have less problem being outside in the evening.

i have no idea what my main triggers are, but my allergies have been terrible all summer. they haven't been this bad since i was a kid and according to all the information i've seen there hasn't been particularly high levels of anything around here this season. it's driving me crazy.

Did you check the mold count? And where are you?

OTM. I was outside to go from my apartment to the gym and then back again (with a short detour to a drug store), about 12 blocks in total. Now I have a headache. We are being told it will be a very bad month for ragweed.

"seasonal"

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:51 (twenty years ago)

11 months and one week per year.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:51 (twenty years ago)

Bash head in.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:51 (twenty years ago)

High pollen count today. After riding my bike 10 miles to work, for the next hour I felt like I'd been sprayed with mace.

― brianiac (briania), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

I sound like an infomercial but I haven't had any allergy problems since I was prescribed zyrtec a couple of months back, and I usually have a myriad of allergy-related problems at this time of year.

― O'so Krispie (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

Uh huh. I don't think any mere antihistamine will be a magic bullet for me. I believe I've tried zyrtec.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

I've been going through a box of kleenex a day.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

ew, tmi

― N_RQ (Enrique), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

i've gotta try zyrtec. i've been sneezing like mad.

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I haven't been too bad, but every day for the last four or five days, usually in the morning, I'll sneeze like six consecutive times and start clamoring for tissue.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

ew, tmi

Haha, really?

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

Ragweed is awful! I've been taking the 24 hour claritin and doubling up with decongestants during the day (or some 12 hour Al3gr4 my parents had lying around). I can breathe! It's really sad when you can count down the hours until you take another by gauging how well you can breathe.

come to think of it i've got a jar of rooster sauce and a spoon.

― america's next top ramen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 06:05 (twenty years ago)

Me too. I'll bet I won't even be able to smell the stinko ginkos on the corner of Hicks and Pierrepont today.

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 11:53 (twenty years ago)

agonising pain in left sinus, eye wants to close over and die, constant flow of goo from left eye, bruises on left eye from rubbing, when will the nightmare end?!!

Astelin has been fairly helpful for me, but it does make me tired more often than I'd like to be, but then again, it knocks me out enough that I don't care about being knocked out. I just take it before I go to bed anyway.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Sunday, 19 March 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

Of course, the allergens haven't really kicked in yet.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Sunday, 19 March 2006 15:32 (twenty years ago)

ugh god dont remind me. I WANT TO ENJOY SPRING THIS YEAR.

Everytime I suffer from !@#$%^&&**&**()*#@@@! and I see this thread on New Answers, I always assume teh JBR revived it.

― The Day The World Turned Dayglo Redd (Ken L), Monday, 20 March 2006 01:50 (twenty years ago)

actually most of the revives on this thread are rockist scientist's!

― stockholm cindy is a guy with a belly button piercing (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:14 (twenty years ago)

-- america's next top ramen

robble. i never noticed this one.

― strongo hulkington is a guy with a belly button piercing (dubplatestyle), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:17 (twenty years ago)

Maybe I got it confused with this thread

― The Day The World Turned Dayglo Redd (Ken L), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:25 (twenty years ago)

and even then, only one revive.

― stockholm cindy is a guy with a belly button piercing (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:27 (twenty years ago)

Then maybe it was this thread

― The Day The World Turned Dayglo Redd (Ken L), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:34 (twenty years ago)

Or this one

― The Day The World Turned Dayglo Redd (Ken L), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:35 (twenty years ago)

Or, apologies in advance, this one.

― The Day The World Turned Dayglo Redd (Ken L), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:38 (twenty years ago)

i get sick a lot. i have the immune system of an aids patient.

― stockholm cindy is a guy with a belly button piercing (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 20 March 2006 02:38 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I didn't mean to pick on you. I was just letting my achy sinuses hide behind yours.

one year passes...

After using it for over a year, I decided to kick Astelin this past Friday. The first few weeks, it was really knocking me out. But even since then, it seemed to be sapping my energy and causing some memory problems (frequent delays remembering names and words that should have been easy to come up with). I took it, in the first place, in hopes that it would allow me to return to being as active as I had been in previous years, but I have been even less active over the last year than I was in the previous one. Anyway, now that I've quit, I feel more alive. I feel like a part of my consciousness that had gone missing is now back.

(It did seem to cut back the frequency with which I had headaches, but it didn't do enough for me to justify putting up with the side effects.)
