Should I start doing intravenous drugs?
 

Allergies are kicking my ass the last two weeks. That time of year in Norcal and pills aren't helping.

Morphine drip until the air settles?

stay away from the pins man, unless its test or EQ.. ;)

if the other meds aren't worky worky - then give it a shot..

Real men bang speedballs

My eyes are really bothering me and lips are really dry, too. Though we do have a santa ana going on.

I'd go for it. Why suffer if you don't have to?

Have u tried Zyrtec? The only one that really works for me

Same here Lens... sneezing up a storm and eyes constantly watering

Sac is fucking brutal this time of year. I'm in town visiting the in-laws and my allergies kicked into overdrive the moment i hit town. I broke down and took a claritin and it improved my situation from fucking miserable to moderately miserable. The sac valley just fucking sucks when the wind is up.

To your question about allergy shots...a friend of mine went on them and they really did help.

edit: i just don't understand why people choose to live here

the 3 minute limit caught me out LOL.

to finish my thought...too damned hot in the summer and too damned cold in the winter.

I have been thinking about going for the shots myself. This time of year my head feels like it is going to explode and my eyeballs feel like they are throbbing... yuck.

Same boat here.

I recommend you try medical marijuana.

I didn't know they had home administered intravenous drugs for allergies. Is a guy named T-Bone selling them? If so, you may need to reconsider.

I thought in Az because its desert, you dont get outdoor allergies.I miss NYC didnt get attacks at all I had thought I had outgrown it all .Then I moved to Atl was proved wrong lol

thats not something to joke arround.Visit a doc

Been sneezing my ass off every mornign for the past few months.i hate allegies.

When my daughter went to Davis I used to hate having to move her in and out each year . . . so brutal.

Spring was nice though.

Definitely get an allergy shot! I've had them a few times and it was such a relief. The shot lasted through allergy season although spring and summer only last about 4 months in Alaska. I had a nurse practitioner give me a hard time once because she said it can cause osteoperosis if you get them all the time.

1 shot? I thought you had to take a series. I'd go for that in a second.

You have to take a bunch of tiny shots to find out what you're allergic to first. I had that a few years ago & they said I was allergic to pretty much everything.

I want to try a "neti pot"

depending on how bad your allergies are i'd get the allergy shots, they'll severely reduce your symptoms if not get rid of your allergies depending on what your allergic to. they do take some time to take effect though it took about 5-6 shots over a few month period before i started to notice any changes. but again depending on what your allergic to will depend on how often you have to go for the shots and how long the shots will effect you without having to go for another shot.

they will test you for everything from dogs and cats to ragweed and mildew atleast then you'll know exactly what your allergic to and you'll be able to determine when your allergy symptoms will be at their peak.

it's worth going for the shots thats for sure after going through almost every allergy medicine as a child from zyrtec to all the claritins, the nasal sprays nothing has been more effective then the shots. my allergies only really kick up on days when theirs lots of pollen in the air "hay fever". then i pop a claritin and i'm usually good.

I could never stick myself with a needle, especially over some allergies. But then again, I don't have bad allergies, so I wouldn't know what it's like.

I am sorry that you're not feeling well. I'm in the same Norcal allergies boat.

I didn't start having allergy problems until about 7 years ago and now it gets worse each year.

I used Singulair this year only because I got it for free. It didn't do any good.

Next year I'm going somewhere above the treeline during spring.

I am crushing up Claritin and snorting rails of it-
The drip sucks, but seems to be working.

:-))

Looks weird... but effective??

Have you gone the homepathic route yet? I'm allergic to about 9 allergens (out of the 15 or so major ones) and last time i was taking them they seem to have been doing the trick. Zyrtec always made me drowsy.

Give this link a look:

Definitely effective :thumbsup

Of course, there's something to said about a pollen count of 5937 when over 120 is considered "Extremely High"........

fucking allergies are kicking in the valley right now.. I feel your pain

think about moving...

For years I suffered with the seasonal allergies stuff. As a kid, I was allergic to tons of stuff and did allergy shots twice a week for 5 years. Try living in Texas and being allergic to mesquite!

A few years back, my doc gave me two week trials of the three most popular prescription meds at that time. I took one for 2 weeks then a week off, then the second for two weeks then a week off, and then the third. He told me one would seem better than the other 2. It was the Zyrtec hands down for me.

After two years of taking Zyrtec from February through August, my doc told me to take it all year. I did that for two years, then stopped. I've had no recurrence of problems since.

My dad has had problems for all his life. He takes a prescription med, but vows that adding 1 Chlor-Trimeton every 12 hours makes a huge difference.

PK

Have you tried Nasacort spray?

My doctor just gave me a few samples, but I haven't tried it yet.

i used to use the spray, but that fucks up your nose... nose bleeds for life :(

i'm allergic to all plant life :helpme

claritin (not claritin d) has been the only product that works for me

here in the caribbean, your allergies and dry skin will vanish.

Zyrtec D helps me. I never use to have problems but
since Jan of this year something has changed. LOL
Hubby happens to be good friends with the top ENT
in Tampa so I went and paid him a visit. Zyrtec D is
what he gave me and it is time released so it generally
doesn't cause drowsiness. Just a thought. :)
