Hi folks... I wanted some input here. I've been utterly MISERABLE for the past two weeks from allergies. Sooo congested, sleepy, etc. I even lost my voice last week from post nasal drip (yuck). It doesn't help that I am super busy with work and the new fosters. I just want to crawl into bed and go to sleep all the time -- I know its because my head feels so heavy from the congestion.

What I want to know is this: Does anyone else feel this way this year? Is it because of a bad pollen count already? What do you take for your allergies?

I called the doctor today and he called in a prescription for Allegra 180. He said if that doesn't work, he wants me to try a steriod based medicine, which doesn;t sound too good to me. I've tried Claritin - doesn't work. Singulair - doesn't work. Zyrtec (my most recent test) - didn't work. There were MANY others, but those are the ones at the top of my congested brain. Oh, I also do nasal sprays at night. Those seem to help more than the pills.

I'm sure sorrounding myself with all these cats isn't helping me any but they aren't going anywhere. Besides, they wre here all winter and I wasn't miserable like this until Mother Nature decided to bloom.
