Yup, my allergies are still going strong here in the DC area. I think it's because it was such a wet year. And my allergies also vary day to day - like today I feel good but over the weekend I was miserable.

I use prescription allergy eyedrops (Patanol is the one I use, there's several) as well as Allegra. The combo seems to help me.

OKay..thanks for the advice. I noticed you said it varies day by day. Like for me I can always feel some kind of discomfort in my eyes. However some days it's terrible and i just have to lie down and use cold compresses. Like with you during allergy season, on your "good" days are you completely symptom free? Or do you have slight sniffles/eye irritation/etc.? I'm just confused having never really noticed my allergy symptoms before and not knowing for sure if i have "allergies" or not.

I might try patanol..does it completely eliminate symptoms for you, or just make them die down?

I have awful allergies - always have.

Pretty much every day my eyes bother me. Some days it's bearable with just some watering every now and then, some days it's so bad I can barely open them an I want to scratch them out.

The Patanol doesn't eliminate the problem completely, but helps enough that I can get through my day without red itchy watery eyes. I definitely notice if I forget to use it!
