I just about had a mental breakdown over it this morning. I’m just sick and tired of dealing with it. I can’t focus on my work. I want to amputate my eyeballs. I have to clean the gunk out of my eyes every 5 minutes and I’m breaking out in hives all over. My lips are chapped to hell from the antihistamines drying me out. I can usually push through the peak of it which usually lasts only 2-3 weeks but it’s been peaking for over a month now. It seems never ending. I’m miserable every waking hour of the day. I’m just praying for a good rain to wash it all away.

Yes. It's been fricking awful.

It's been straight up brutal for me this year. I take allergy medicine daily and it hasn't slowed it down a bit. Really considering doing the shots next year.
I've pretty much had a constant sinus drip for a month now and i sneeze so damn much, I get nosebleeds. It's been dreadful.

I'm certain a concrete mixer pulled up to my house and pour concrete into my sinuses last night while I was sleeping.

I used to die every Spring from allergies. Those kind you could feel coming on when you woke up and they’d whip you for two or three days. About 6 or 7 years ago with just some simple generic nose spray every day I ended my Spring allergy nightmare and I don’t get allergies anymore. I start it in February then by May or June I’m in the clear.

Yeah it’s bad this year but to make matters worse, a Zyrtec bottle of 60 is 35 a pop.

Flonase

I've never really struggled with allergies...this year has KILLED me. I feel like my head is going to explode daily.

Been sleeping in a recliner the past week so I don't drown in my own sinus drip! Helps a lot with drainage! Can't find any meds to slow it down!

I take Flonase and Allegra or Claritin daily. It’s keeping my sinuses relatively clear. It’s the eyes and the hives that are hell this year. I’ve never gotten hives like this before. I would get a small rash on the inside of my elbows occasionally but this year it’s going all up and down my arms from the back of my hands to my shoulders.

I had the same (hives and everything which I don't normally have ) and thought it was allergies. The eyes got unbearable. I went to the doctor and they said it was a sinus infection that backed up into my eyes. I am still confused but a round of antibiotics and eye drops cleared it up.

I think it's related to last years draught. Draught equals dead grass which is replaced by weeds which produce more pollen.

I’m right there with you, brother.

Earlier in the year I was sneezing 7-10 times in a row. Terrifying on the interstate

You've never seen penguin sneeze and neither has anybody else. That's because life is Allergy-Free in the Antarctic, which is nice this time of year.

Yeah it's bad. Around 3 weeks ago was the worst. Tons of oak pollen especially was floating around at that time.

Not me. I wasn’t one of those weird formula babies

I live in Mid-City, New Orleans and 1/2 block off Banks St.
That street it lined on both sides with huge oak trees and they will be dropping so much yellow pollen in a few weeks that I will have to hose off my truck every time I get in it to go anywhere.
I could wash it off my porches daily, but usually wait until the weekend to hose it off the damn things and the water runs yellow until it's off.
Oh, and then it's time for the Buckmoths to come out and sting the crap out of you. Interesting spring every year.

Im suprised because my deck and cars and have been stained yellow for a bit now and i used to have such bad allergies when i lived in GA. I would walk outside and immediately the sound would be all muffled like i had fluid in my ears.
But for some reason I have nothing rt now.
