I am so glad that they have helped! Kris - I like benadryl and zyrtec...both make me a little drowsy but they sort of work for me! YD - the shots aren't so bad...I am lucky in that my allergist is very convenient to my office. Still, they are working! Carly - I don't know what it is about WV! It's the same way in PA where I grew up. Nashville was wonderful for allergies! Emily - poor kid..I'll have to mention to him all that he is missing! d.a. - I think homeopathic remedies might be interesting. I eat honey with is my only real exposure to it, but it's interesting for sure! Capri Kel - it's only the boys in our house and we both take the shots. I don't remember whether they worked as a kid, but as an adult, they are working very well for me! Before I started the shots last year, there was nothing at all that would touch my allergies.

Except Mousey, to a certain medication, but that is easily avoided. My brother is not so lucky though. At certain times of the year, he probably looks like you. He has had shots as well.

If homeopathy intrigues you, see a professional, as a remedy will depend on your particular symptoms. For other outdoor allergies (mold, grass) I'll take a Claritin.

I'd had enough, so I went to an allergist as well; I left with drops, pills, sprays, and yup, shots! I go once a week, and it's starting to help. <abbr><em>Carly’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/uhLt/~3/vNyBBHvtn5g/so-funny-story.html" rel="nofollow">so funny story....</a></abbr></em> Since moving to WV, my allergies have been 10x worse than ever before.
