Idoggers in Texas..Question

• Idoggers in Texas..Question SaraD Posted : 3/5/2007 5:39:59 PM This is my first spring in Texas. San Angelo to be specific and it is in west central Texas near Abilene. I am experiencing a horrid bout of allergies. Is this normal for it to begin this early? I am not used to my allergies until late March. This began in the last week of February. --Sara LIKE 10 REPLIES 116 VIEWS LAST POST RON2 Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 3/5/2007 6:17:23 PM I am not normally an allergy person..but when I moved here I was told this..."within 10 years you WILL have some allergies, bad ones"...now I laughed then...but now...almost 10 years in...I DO get them...lol! Not as bad as my hubby or kids, but they are there. Texas is an allergy state...   I would think that what your reacting too would determine the time frame. Perhaps you have acquired a new allergy....to something that blooms now, early spring? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 3/5/2007 6:22:35 PM [linkhttp://www.pollen.com/]http://www.pollen.com/[/link]   You can check out the allergy levels for your area at this site.  It actually looks like Texas (or some parts) are very high right now.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Cheryl Posted : 3/5/2007 7:04:09 PM Things are starting to kick up here in Southeast Texas.   I used to have terrible problems and then it stopped after I had my kids (very weird, but I had absolutely no problems-and I had seasonal allergies every year like clockwork) but now about 3 years later, they're slowly starting to reappear.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• BEVOLASVEGAS Posted : 3/5/2007 9:40:53 PM My allergies have been kicking my butt for the past 2 weeks.  Unfortunately, allergy season starts early down here. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 3/6/2007 6:02:46 AM It's especially bad this year because of the strong constant winds with no rain. If it rained, the pollen and stuff would get washed out of the air.   DW's allergies have been so bad that she went to the doctor for some relief. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• SaraD Posted : 3/6/2007 8:20:13 AM Thank you everyone for explaining. I swore it was not a cold. Now I know it is undoubtedly allergies. Ugh. I asked my doctor if I could get a higher dose of zyrtec and he said yes. That seems to be helping. --Sara 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 3/6/2007 7:41:51 PM DW has antibiotics and allergy relief meds but she is worn out between taking the meds and fighting the allergies. The meds help but once she can relax, she's really tired.   If it had been a cold, I would have caught it but I have no more than my normal sinus problems, which are so slight, I don't even medicate for them. I just hack it up and go on about my day.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
