My allergies are terrible this year. I am sniffly and sneezey. My girls ask me all the time "Why are you crying Mom?" because my eyes are so watery. I am going to bed almost every night with a sinus headache. It has been years since I have felt this bad--high school maybe (it's been 10 years!).
I found it very strange considering the cool summer we have had, things are not flourishing like normal (my garden can prove it). Then it dawned on me this past weekend! We haven't turned on the air conditioning at all this summer, except a day or two. Most summers I live in filtered air most of the day and all night, but this summer I am breathing in all those allergens around the clock.
Which is worse? Popping Claritin or closing up the windows and turning on the air? I am not sure either.

How about using the Nasacort which may eliminate your need for the Claritin?
They don't make Nasacort anymore Mom. It hurts the ozone layer! The green-friendly version is a liquid inhalant. It doesn't work as well.
Not ten minutes ago my neighbor was just saying the exact same thing about her allergies and how awful they've been this year.
Yuck. I hope you're able to find some relief. Perhaps a trip to the sauna would help your sinuses?
Running the air conditioner continuously would be much greener for our planet than the crappy green-friendly-ozone-protecting-inhalers that you need to use now. Didn't you know that!
You could try using a neti pot... that does a better job for my hayfever than Sudafed does!
