May I also add that sometimes allergies can wreak havoc with your system and like Ron mentioned...the ears, nose and throat.
Before I learned all the things I know now...if allergies hit me badly...I'd get vertigo and not be able to lift my head up or look up.
It also made me nauseous and sometimes physically ill.
I've learned to manage the allergies much better now with medication (I'm literally a drug store of allergy meds...lol) but it does seem every year things change a bit and it keeps me guessing. That's just food for thought in case it can help.

Yes!

Allergies will do bad things to your head too. I have to take allergy medicine year round. In the Spring, I add allergy nasal spray.

I can second this, I am now on daily sinus mess which have helped a lot.

   Yep!


@miss heny
   And I got a really good sleep last night too! Nine hours in fact. Amazing I could move this morning!
What can I say?  I'm new...still catching on to everything.    

LMAO aren't we always learning? I been studying chickens for seven years and I is still learning! Hoping to study genetics this year gotta scare a certain head of poultry science at MSU for my last year of 4H

It does, along with watery eyes and etc. Costco now has a generic kirkland brand that is a lot cheaper than flonase.

Quote: I think so. I LOVE learning things. I can't believe how much I've learned being on this site!

With every type of animal or fish I've had...I learn so much practical knowledge that I use in life.
Now with chickens I can go around and check everyone's hygrometers and tell them how far they were off. Well, that and so much more...lol.

Genetics. I love genetics.

I had wanted to be a vet...but now I know I would have been better suited for the genetics field.
Haha...that sounds like fun...I hope the scare goes well!

Quote: Flonase...I think I had that once upon a time a very long time ago. That totally rings a bell!
I can't even remember how it worked, it was decades ago. I will look into that and the Kirkland brand.
There's a Costco where my friend lives.

I haven't got the watery eyes...just itchy/irritated sometimes. I'm fortunate there.
But the day we picked up the old Ford truck box for my chickens, we were on our way home and my ear popped and suddenly I could hear so well.
I didn't even realize my ear was plugged. So I'm not always on top of things like I thought.

The congestion in the sinuses just about does me in if it's bad...if this helps that'd be amazing.
Sinus headaches totally immobilize me...I can't even eat.
