preparing for seasonal allergies? - mrbigstuff - 03-12-2012
I'm curious if you folks do anything to "prep" for the allergy season. given the crazy mild weather, I expect some of the normal allergens to get a jump start on our systems* so do you start on the meds? I would love to have a more natural remedy, but I've not been very successful at that so far.
*still could be a cold spell, I realize.

I take a Claritin and a Singulair tablet every day.
That's about it.

Local honey, unprocessed, tbs/day. Takes awhile to build up, month or two.

One generic Zrytec a day. Allergy season is just about in full swing in NC.

last year I tried some local honey (in the winter, actually) and ended up having an allergic reaction (not scary bad, but a little disconcerting). I wonder if I should have continued taking it. ??

Claritin, Systane eyedrops, and now that we're in mid-allergy season in Fl, twice daily use of a neti pot.
The key is to keep the soft tissues clear of airborne irritants.

I have always had the best luck with Allegra; Claritin and Zyrtec don't work for me. YMMV. 12-hour Sudafed -- when Walgreen's bothers stocking it -- is a lifesaver for me; lifelong allergy sufferer.
I will say that I've found myself using my Ventolin (asthma inhaler) a lot more in the last six months than I have in years.

In the past i used zyrtec and it worked well except for peak times when i'd become miserable anyway. this year i'm trying singular although its a bit expensive.

Anyone use Saline nasal spray to help keep passages open?
