If you're under 30 there's hope. I had extreme hay fever throughout my childhood and 20s ... antihistamines didn't do much, if anything, to control the effects. I was allergic to just about any kind of dust, animals, pollen, etc. I'd spend every summer with blood shot eyes, itchy roof of my mouth, sniffing, sneezing, couldn't sleep, etc. Buy once I got into my 30s the effects lessened dramatically. I still take antihistamimes (Reactine) throughout the summer months, but at least now they control the effects. So hopefully those of you who are in your 20s yet will outgrow the curse too.
