Welcome to cottonwood season.  I'm very allergic to cottonwooe trees, and
this year, for whatever reason they are seriously affecting my eyesight.  I
even enlarged my type to 24 font and it was still blurry.  So if I make
typing, spelling and other errors, please forgive me, or bear with me for
the next couple of weeks or so.

Thanks everyone.  I'm on Allegra and Atravent.  It cottonwood season here
and I've always been allergic to cottonwood.  But it's worse this year than
usual.

Missed this first time around. Purrs for your allergies. Cottonwoods
can make even light allergics nuts.

Purrs for your allergic sehl.

Cottonwoods are really crummy trees. I don't know why people even plant
them. They drive allergy sufferers crazy, they drop fuzzy seed all over
the cars. They don't live all that long, and blow over easily. At least
you'd think people would plant the cottonless variety!

I don't know those trees. The one that I have plenty of, and which
makes a mess in the spring is oaks.  They shed those long seed pod
gold-colored fuzzy thingies, and I get literally mounds of them in
the driveway, and then the pollen gets drug in the house, they leave
my truck yellow and the windshield gets caked with them. Man, my eyes
are watering already just thinking about them.

Purrs for your allergies, Pam. I use Claritin D, but with the recent
limitations to how much you can buy at a time, sometimes I run out
before I can get to the store for more.

I had to pick up some Clariton for my son recently. I had to ask for it
at the counter, sign for it and show my driver's license. Plus stand in
line at the pharmacy. What a hassle. But I hear since they have
implemented that, it has really made a difference in meth production.
Meth is a bad problem here.
Our trees are mostly Tree of Heaven. (That's the tree for which the
book "A Tree Growns in Brooklyn" was about) They drop seeds something
awful too. He's very allergic to them.
You're lucky none of your neighbors have Cottonwoods. I bet you would
be allergic to them also.

Just to let you know: if you can get by with just the antihistamine,
without requiring the decongestant, it is available over-the-counter
without the quantity restrictions.  I use the generic equivalent,
Loratidine, on a daily basis, having bought a pack of two 100-tablet
bottles at my local "Sam's Club" warehouse store.  I am under doctor's
orders not to use any decongestants, since I am on
blood-pressure-lowering medications and most decongestants raise your
blood pressure.
