From the article: Seasonal Allergies
People have some pretty interesting ways of dealing with their seasonal allergy symptoms. Some people go on vacation during the height of pollen season, while others wear a surgical mask during outdoor activities, for example. Besides sticking to your doctor's prescribed regimen of medication, how else have you've learned to deal with your seasonal allergies? Share Your Experiences
pollen allergy
- I also tried a lot of stuff for my pollen allergy, I the spring and summer I really feel the affects and I enjoy doing sports and that's bad with my allergy. I tried several stuff and I am still looking for something good and that will allow me to play sports also, but I am not for medication that much. I heard about nose filters, anyone knows about this. I think I will try them, I just to see which ones, I don't know yet, still looking on the internet for reviews and stuff.

Pollen Allergy / hey fever
- I have this allergy since I am born. Now I am 22. The last 6 years were horrible for me. I have all the symptoms and I also have fever at the same time. My allergy lasts for 2-3 months. There are days when everything is normal, but there are days when I cannot even open my eyes or even sleep. I tried with homeopathy...it did not work. Now I am taking Claritin, which is antyhistamin but I do not believe that there is any change or if there is a little improvement it comes after 1 week taking it. I do not wont to discourage you people but I do not think there is a cure yet. Just cope with it and be prepared. Try to take showers more regulary and close the windows. Stay at home... This will minimize the pain.

Herbal Tea
- I have just started sneezing - so must be the start of the hayfever season! I sell Neals Yard Remedies products and one of the teas was supposed to be good for hay fever. I was a bit dubious, but have been drinking the Eyebright and Nettle tea and it has stopped my sneezing!! Amazing. Be interesting to see if it works when the pollen count is really high! It's nice to think also that I can alleviate my symptoms without resorting to chemical laden products - all pure natural herbs! ***Keep in mind that natural products are typically, but not always, safe. Check with your doctor before using an over the counter remedy, especially herbal products, to treat any medical condition. - Dr More ***

My son also taking from last 2 years & he is also free from hayfever. I also had food sensitivity test & followed that & helped me to build up my immune system very strong so I do not catch flu, cold etc.

Seasonal allergies coping strategies
- I get a Depomedral shot from my physician once/year in the spring & I find I don't have nearly as severe of a problem. Whereas I have to take at least 2 pills/day w/o the shot, with the shot I hardly take any medication at all. Zyrtec is what I take nowadays, but only once or twice in the Spring & Fall which is when I have problems. I also use the Neil-Med nasal rinse which helps at all times of the year. ***I'd recommend reading the article '3-month allergy shot' and talk with your physician regarding long-term side effects before continuing on a routine regimen of long-acting steroids.
