The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: Have you noticed your allergies are better, the same or worse than previous years?
Talk about it….
it is so bad that I stay indoor most of the day because I hate getting the watery and itching eyes. Thinking to wear ski goggle when I need to go outside.
Maybe wear an N95 mask as well. Most people have a few extra laying around these days.
Been the worst spring in a long time for mine. Have noticed a lot more pollen on the deck and cars as well. I can wash the car and one day later it’s covered in that fine yellow dust. I’m sure it doesn’t help that we back to open space. Even the Allegra is struggling to subdue the beast but I am enjoying the Prolific Poppy bloom. Not enjoying the prolific Rattlesnake bloom.
My allergy symptoms have been nonexistent for the last 12 years. I am highly allergic to house dust, dust mites, and cat dander, and I have all three in the house. Twelve years ago, I decided to see an allergist. He did the skin test and handed me a list of what I’m allergic to, then he prescribed fluticasone propionate. It’s a nasal spray I’ve been using once a day, and all allergy symptoms are 100% gone. The spray has since been approved to sell without a prescription, as Flonase.
… so far not too bad – mine are worse a bit later … we’ll see fingers crossed!
Hubby is suffering heavier this year with sneeze attacks & watery eyes, … poor guy.
.
My allergies the past few years have been light because of the drought.
.
This season it has been more or less back to normal… A runny nose n sneezing are back but won’t last more than two or three weeks. Then I’m good to go!
.
Coming on strong but just allergies not dying “although it feels like it” just another way God shows us he loves us! (obvious sarcasm )
Worse! Tho I am not convinced it’s all because of all the wet weather growing more weeds.
I actually had to have a portion of my nose surgically re-attached after suffering some very severe stuffiness and a violent sneezing reaction to what must have been the most potent blend of pollen and mold spores ever.
I was fortunate to recover the portion of my nose which was blown off as I was on my dock at the time and it landed in the river…. I had to to jump in and wrestle it away from a hungry duck.
Doctors are suspicious and say the pollen may have been deliberately created in a facial tissue or big pharma laboratory and is secretly being tested on the public all in a devious effort to sell more antihistamine or tissues… maybe both.
Laughed so hard I cried. Watch out for hungry ducks!
Somewhat worse than in recent years, which was expected.
9-10 sneezes in a row. runny nose. eyes are on fire.
Definitely got the allergies back this year.
Worse than last year, cant say exactly, but its pretty bad this year, hope this next rain storm can tamp them down a bit for and all the rest of us sufferers.
Me … not so much.
Family … death warmed over. One of them sounds like they are constantly sniffling and crying.
A little worse than the last few years.
What’s been more interesting is the number of bugs and flying things. There are a lot this year.
Overall it’s about normal for a rainy winter. We just haven’t seen that many recently.
Very little allergies to begin with, so to date this year, no issues at all.
Worse in the spring.
Horrible this year. The worst they have ever been. My vehicles are covered in pollen as well
