Any information will do. The best medications (ones that don’t cause drowsiness or dry throat but clear up mucus), food tips, products, exercises, anything. I am a lead in a theater production but have pollen/dust allergies that constantly affect both my nose and throat. I just want to find the best ways possible to deal with allergies so that I can do my best for performances. Thnx for any help!

We’ve tried herbal remedies, i.e. grapeseed extract, allergic tonic and etc. However, they don’t seem to be that effective. He’s used Zyrtec in the past and it was helpful. I am wondering if allergy shots are the most effective way to combat allergies? I would appreciate any advice from fellow allergy sufferers. Thanks.

Last year my spring allergies started pretty much the first day of the season (Northern NJ, bad place for tree pollen). This year, they barely started in mid April at the beginning of the season and stayed pretty low key until today, May 10th, and all of a sudden they are disastrous. How come my allergies didn’t fully blossom until today even though the pollen counts have been higher this year?

I bought a dog, but am having pretty bad allergies. I do not want to go the allergy shots route, or constantly take medication, or have to limit how I play with him. I’m suffering now, but am wondering, if over time, I may build a tolerance and grow immune to his dander, saliva, and other allergens? I recall I used to go to my friend’s house a lot, and had real bad allergies from his cats. But over time, the allergies became a lot better. I thought it was because I built a tolerance to them.

I know there are tons of allergy medications, however, my mom has high blood pressure so she is restricted to most medications for allergies. Any suggestions?

I have severely bad allergies.
I currently take Allegra 180mg but I still get symptoms.
Allergens: Most grasses, trees, cats, ragweed.
I take shots for my allergies every 3 weeks currently.
And if my allergies are irritated enough, I tend to go into something like an “allergy shock.”
