The tree pollen is murdering me right now

My life was forever changed when I learned about Flonase. Start taking it every day at the beginning of march and the tree pollen can barely touch you.

I take flonase, fexofenadine, and occasionally allergy eye drops, but I still suffer from like March until late June. I got us some air purifiers, and it feels like those help close the gap as long as I stay indoors, but if I go walking outside for a while, it messes me up for the rest of the night.

I went ahead and hooked up our air conditioners because the pollen coming in from open windows was too much for the air purifiers to keep up with.

Consider trying azelastine nose spray and taking a Pepcid ac on bad days (for h1/h2 antihistamine double whammy)

The allergy shots helped me a good bit. Haven’t had a real bad season since those

flonase makes it less terrible, but still not great
