AskReddit: How do you treat your seasonal allergies?

Arizona.

I'm allergic to tree pollen, and it gets pretty bad. I'm near useless between April and June each year. Sneezy, congested, itchy watery eyes, makes it near impossible to focus on anything.

Over the years, I've tried just about every over-the-counter anti-histamine with little effect, and my doctor once prescribed Nasonex, a corticosteroid nasal spray, which was effective, but caused nosebleeds.

Currently I'm using a combination of Sudafed Sinus & Allergy (although I'm not sure taking pseudoephedrine every day is healthy), and Nasal Irrigation. This is pretty effective, though not 100%. What do other allergy sufferers find works?

local honey, if you can get it. seriously, it's evidently got all the shit that's in the local air, so if your allergies are airborne (seasonal ones are, usually) it helps. my grandmother swears on it. but that's because she usually takes her dose with the high octane wild turkey on the side.

There worse symptom for me is blocked sinuses and the occompanying sinus headache. Things that help: Humidifier to clear my sinues. Imtrex if my sinus headache turns into a migraine. The last point deserves some elaboration: for me it's very difficult to disinguish a sinus headache and a migraine---my doctor just tried Imitrex as a last resort and suddenly I felt a wave of relief. I tried neti-pot/nasal irrigation but that just made my symptoms worse. Sometimes I just have to cry myself to sleep though.

I treat them shabbily, and often don't call even when I know I'm going to be out late.
