All the trees are in bloom with whatever kind of pollen spewing things they are. I had thought that flu I had has hung on for an extremely long time, giving me the sniffles, stuffy nose, etc. But it seems to me it must be allergies. The symptoms are every bit as bad as when I first came to Texas (maybe even more).

I'll have to get to the pharmacy for allergy medicine. Darn my hide for not getting some Claritin before I left.

Does anyone know of a good allergy medicine? I'm dying here.

I removed mercury fillings, and cut way back on coffee. No more allergies!

Dear Sir, thanks for the good tip! I've been thinking about all those fillings in my head, some I've had since 1970s. I might do as you have and get them removed. Now all I have to do is weigh the merits of no allergies against my mistrust of doctors / health practitioners. I'll mull that over for a while.

Giving up coffee was tough for me but I've been caffeine free since 2008. I don't drink anything with caffeine in it; no coffee, no tea (chamomile or fresh peppermint leaves taste so much better to me anyway). No carbonated beverages either since 2009.

Write 'diphenhydramine' on a piece of paper and take it to the nearest pharmacy. I am sure they have it for allergy symptoms. You know it as Benadryl. Take 25mg every 4-6 hrs.
Strange...when I moved to Odessa, all my allergies disappeared!

Oops! Sorry Russo. I was sure I replied with a "thank you" to the viber message. If I didn't I apologize.
