I have joined the society of people with
allergies. I know when spring and
fall allergy season is about to arrive.
My symptoms began before the official

I started experiencing itchy eyes and

last week. I have to be careful because
I get "pink eye" from too much
exposure to pollen.

We had 2 weeks of unseasonal warmth
and the flowering trees in my town started
blooming. My Japanese magnolia tree is
full of purplish pink blooms.

I have an arsenal of herbs and meds
to combat my symptoms.
I use herbal pills for the sinus congestion.
Herbal cough drops and saline nasal

I found out the hard way, that I must
cover my ears with a headband or
earmuffs on cold windy days. A severe
sinus headache had me in tears because
I didn't cover my head and ears during
cold weather.
