Watery eyes, runny nose, congestion, constant tingle in my sinuses. Apparently tree pollen and grass pollen have been in overdrive since Saturday and will continue for at least a week until the next rain. Yes I know, I'm a pussy.

Head colds just ruin me. I sometimes think I would rather have the Flu than a damn head cold

Me too, do you use the -D versions or just the regular? I can't breathe for shite.

Pollen was really bothering my Dad 4 days ago. I bought him some Allegra. It took 2 days to help much but now he is feeling much better. You might try that.

My wife is pretty much down for the count right now until the pollen clears up. Doesn't really bother me much.

Go get some generic Allegra/Claritin/Zyrtec and Flonase and take every morning. Allegra is most effective IMO.

Rinse your nose out with saline and wipe your eyelids with baby wipes twice a day. Shower before going to bed instead of in the morning.

Hope that helps

Won't help to take both.

Pick one, add nasal Flonase and Zaditor eye drops.

Every Feb-May my eyes just become unbearable to wear contacts for more than 6 hours at a time. Love the weather though...

I take one before bed and one when I wake up, not at the same time.

I am on flonase and eye drops too.
