FOR SURE... AND HOW!!!
I just moved out of the city and am surrounded by corn fields. Last night I pulled a substantial amount of ragweed out of the flower garden. I had a nice little allergy attack. I'm hoping I can beat my allergies via immersion therapy (i.e. breath some much pollen in that it can no longer affect me!!!) Didn't quite get the job done last night, so I'll try again this evening!

They aren't as bad now as they were when I was a kid but they still get to me. When I was a kid, my eyes would swell shut, etc. It was terrible. I never took any medicine for it. I just sort of grew out of it as I grew older. Now they aren't as bad but I still have them. Blowing my nose constantly it seems and headaches occasionally from the sinus pressure. Our daughter has them too. About like I do now. I hate working outside because of it. Mowing the grass doesn't help.
The eye drops are a Godsend. "Bye bye, allergy eyes". *sighhhh*

Since I started taking bee pollen the seasonal allergies haven't bothered me nearly as bad as they used to.

Mine never took a break this year at all. Every day "the pollen forecast for your area is extremely high" showed up on my weather page...as if the sinus headaches and sneezing weren't indication enough. Looks like my son is following in my footsteps, too...poor kid.
Even as we speak (type?) I am holding my handkerchief and viewing the screen thru wet, scratchy eyes......and I'm inside in the air conditioning!! Ah..Ah.....(pause)....Choooo! It's pathetic......ever sneeze inside of a full face motorcycle helmet? It's not a pleasant thing.

I never had any allergies to the environment or medications as a child but as an adult it has been total misery. this year I am experiencing a new sympton now with my eyes. They are burning and itchy all the time. It is very annoying. Nothing I take seems to help and the side affects from the meds I have to deal with in most cases is worst than the symptoms of the allergies. I am in a catch 22. I just try to stay indoors with the air on as much as possible.
Allergy eye drops, for the win.
I struggled with allergies for the first 21 years of my life. Taking two shots a week for 15 of those years. Then I went to basic training in San Antonio TX and no more allergies. I have since had to watch our two sons struggle with it come spring and fall.

Eye itch relief
All:
I have suffered through allergies most of my life, and my eyes are the most commonly affected area. My eye doctor turned me on to Zaditor made by Novartis.
This stuff was $100+ a bottle when it first came out and available only by prescription. (Someone figured out that people with ithcy eyes will pay however much it takes to get it to stop). Now it is OTC and generic as well (Walmart's brand is Equate and it's called "Eye Itch Relief Drops" and is usually right next to Zaditor on the shelf).
I have tried EVERYTHING out there and this is the ONLY thing I have ever found that works as well as advertised. Give it a try and see if it helps you guys as much as it did me...
Good Luck,

My allergies tend to kick up every year. I can't tell if they're getting better because I am getting older, or because I tend to work indoors as well as attend school indoors most of the time.
Never had allergies until about 6-7 years ago. I was actually thinking about how bad they were today 5 secs before seeing this thread. Prescription nose spray, and zyrtec barely touch it. Have to wear glasses this time of the year. Wonder what is so different than when I was a kid being able to bale hay and not having any problems..
