Is anyone else having a lot of issues with their allergies?

I have had multiple respitory and sinus infections in the last 3 months and my throat is constantly sore. Ugh!

Yes. Mine have been horrible.

@Redzygirl: I have shingles right now (among other issues) so they won't give me steroids but you better believe I asked for them.
Redzygirl · 46-50, F
Wow, you can't catch a break. I hope you find something else that works.

@Redzygirl: it has been an unhealthy season for me. :(
Maybe you need to move someplace where that "thing" doesn't grow? Are you living on a farm now or something? Go North, no pollen in the air when it is cold out.

@AdventureRider: just from the tests I had from when they were prepping me for allergy shots.
@Fungirlmmm: If Fishermen's friend helps, one thing you might try, and it sounds crazy, is rub some Vicks Vaporub on the bottom of your feet with a sock on top when you go to bed, it slowly soaks in and gives you that fishermens friend kind of menthol.

Thanks I might try that.

Sadly mostly when it's humid 😑
But it's cooling down so it should start to subside for me.
I've had a sore throat for 2+ years but it's part of my endocrine disorder. I hate it. We'll (doctors and I) figure it out soon though.

I hope so. I would be ripping my throat out after two years. I use these really horrible tasting cough drops called fishermens friend. So nasty but work oh so good.

@Fungirlmmm: nothing works for me I want to say that I got 3 back to back bouts of step about 3 years ago followed by a bout of laryngitis. It was horrible but my voice has been raspy and throat has been sore since.
Just a few months till I have these babies and my endocrinologist will start my work up for my disorder. Turns out my tonsils are really enlarged as well as my vocal cords.
Surgery to remove my endocrine tumor my reduce some swelling but not completely which sucks.
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
Yep I would definitely cut my throat out. I can't stand feeling smothered. :(

I started getting allergy shots 2 years ago. Best thing I've ever done.
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
I take allergy shots too. :( I may have some new allergies though.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Fungirlmmm: Maybe. At least I'm off antihistamines!

Sorry to hear about your health problems, FG.
I wish you all the best, and a good recovery.
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
Thanks dear. I'm working on it.

My son has too, poor kid. Sorry to hear not fun at all!
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
Thanks. I have asthma and I ended up having an attack tonight on top of everything else.
Jeephikelove · 46-50, F
@Fungirlmmm: geesh!! You need a break!
Try allergie meds?
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
Yes, I take shots and then I was taking zytec and then switched to Claritin.
@Fungirlmmm: so your trying! I'm sorry your still having problems
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
@Aspies19: Thanks. Usually I have the problems in spring but this year it has been different.
