I've been landlocked 'cause my laryngitis turned into a sinus infection which for me is par for the course in February. So I'm treating this outbreak of allergy induced illness with a short course of antibiotics and an ongoing (during allergy season) course of nasal spray called Nasonex. If I get positive results I'll have to remember to get the Nasonex going every January in preparation for allergy season....early!srfnffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399633806074538641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430440761281029718.post-45468461980271475202010-03-02T15:35:19.145-08:002010-03-02T15:35:19.145-08:00Hi Gary, I miss reading your posts and I'll pu...Hi Gary, I miss reading your posts and I'll put in my experience with allergies here in Santa Cruz. After trying all sorts of stuff I have found the best success with NAET treatment. This is a form of accupuncture, and may seem a little far out but it worked for me. check it out. Locally I have gone to Duane Byrd http://byrdacupuncture.com/ and it has made all the difference. Good luck,<br /><br />EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430440761281029718.post-6774246627657574252010-02-24T13:31:10.235-08:002010-02-24T13:31:10.235-08:00Sorry to hear that RD, especially about the early ...Sorry to hear that RD, especially about the early start. I've managed to avoid a cold all Winter so far, I hope Spring doesn't turn out to be the "real" cold season.

I take Advair (before bed) and Albuterol (before exercise) for the asthma.<br /><br />This is a really early start to the season for me. I usually don't start sneezing for another month.<br /><br />-RDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430440761281029718.post-13700879645689607382010-02-24T10:38:02.793-08:002010-02-24T10:38:02.793-08:00Hey Richard,

I've never liked the side effects from Claritin either, but I've found zyrtec really effective, with no side effects, and it's been available over the counter for a year or so now.<br /><br />RichardRichardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430440761281029718.post-58487736366841690512010-02-24T07:53:50.073-08:002010-02-24T07:53:50.073-08:00I hope this isn't going to be one of those ube...I hope this isn't going to be one of those uber-pollinated Spring seasons. Have you ever taken anything for it like Claritin? I tried it once and didn't like it much. Have you heard of anything else like it? Seems like the older I get the more susceptible to allergies I become.srfnffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399633806074538641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430440761281029718.post-15095085876684881082010-02-24T06:50:49.885-08:002010-02-24T06:50:49.885-08:00Hi Gary,
