3. My very allergic daughter there is not doing badly. Her worse time was

earlier in the year. Do you go to an allergist?

5. It's pretty bad in Dallas too

At least for me, I have allergy problems every three years or so, the best over the counter remedy I've found is Clairiton D, it does wonders for me and lasts 24 hours.

8. For me, I've had worse years

but this isn't a piece of cake either this year. About every three days I'll need to take a Claritin D. Last I checked the pollen was really high, so maybe that's it. :shrug:

9. Well alright then, this explains why both the "anarchy's" got so sick.

We had to break down and go to a doctor.

It hasn't been this bad for either of us in years!

6. Do you take any allergy medication bluestateguy?

The reason I ask is that Costco offers a generic brand for Claritin that is super cheap, if Claritin works for you. Their brand name is Allerclear and it's about 1/5 the price of OTC Claritin.

Surprisingly my allergies are not bad this year at all, and I've been outside a lot lately. I haven't taken any medications since Feb. for allergies.

Good luck to you.
