Well with allergy season upon us I find my self unable to smoke my pipes. Evey time I try I clog up and go into a sneezing fit as the smoke tickles. I hope to start smoking again in a few weeks when the tree pollen dies down.
Pollen is horrible here in Georgia right now. Everything is yellow, and it's only going to get worse over the next few weeks. Thank goodness is hasn't affected my ability to smoke, but it does make my nose clog up.
Mark Indiana is just as bad. And Charles Talk to your Dr about a algery shot or try zertec or clairten otc I would be sneezing non stop with watery eyes right now if it wasnt for one of them 2
A nose full of good strong menthol snuff I hear works for some folks. Kind of blocks the alergans from attaching to the mucus membrane? That is the theory some snuffers claim.
I feel your pain. I've got itchy eyes. I'm not really clogged up, just a continual feeling that my sinuses aren't totally clear. I'm getting a wonderful post nasal drip that's irritating my throat, feels like a lump. I'm taking loratadine, but it doesn't help much.
yeah, it`s going too be bad here in louisville ky. we had a mild winter, which translates to a bad spring. hope you get better soon. sorry you can not smoke your pipes right now.
take care.
mike.
Mike,
I lived in LVille 00-03 then moved to Indy until 08.
Moved back to LVille in 08 and have had allergies ever since. Terrible. Never had them before I moved back.
I read somewhere that LVille is one of the worst cities in the US for allergies. I can definitely attest to that. Brutal.
Thankfully I can still puff no problem. Just constant watery eyes> sniff.
Good luck getting back on the horse, OP.
It's kicking ass down here in Texas too. I got hit hard yesterday and today. We finally got some rain, so maybe it will knock some of the pollen out of the air for awhile.
