I had the same experience, no allergies ever all my life (ok except for bees) and then suddenly in my mid-20s BAM debilitating eye-watery, constant congestion causing allergies. Claritin works for me, but like Frown said, it's best when used routinely. Also, get an air purifier if you don't already have one.

Otherwise I'm a big beeliever in taking a teaspoon of locally pollinated honey every morning.

Do you happen to drink a lot of red wine?

Add me to the "mid 20's allergy startup" club. They always seem to ruin something nice too. For years I would get them before major party time. Fourth of July? Allergies. Memorial Day? Allergies. Girlfriends b-day vacation? Allergies. I think I've narrowed it down to ragweed and the trees sploogin pollen all over the place. It's funny because I didn't get Covid when Dana had it in our small ass apartment but f*cking ragweed turns me into a shell of a person.

Benydrl and taking a shower to wash off any and every speck of dirt on my face usually helps. So does committing hari-kari but I haven't tried the last one yet. In due time...

Lol I've had miserable allergies my whole life and just learned to coexist but maybe cause of global warming it doesn't seem to be happening anymore. Suck my dick, tourists.

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.

Dontcha know now

You have a hard time dealing with existing. STFU major depression.

Hey man, let the good days be good

lol
well if you let that good fortune brighten your day then that's a win

It brightened mine.

...then I remembered that my Dad started developing allergy's in his late 60's.
