In Disney's Bambi, the wise old owl told the young Prince Bambi his friends were suffering from the sillies because they were 'twitterpated by springtime' or in love. Of course, Bambi fell victim...and the story and the sequels continued...

Bambi soon to be twitterpated by springtime romance...

Right now, I am suffering. I do not always, but this is a horrible year.Funny, when I have difficulties, it is my right side as well. Hmm. I wonder if there is a right sided pollen molecule.

Bee products are expensive here, at least where I live, but good luck getting a hold of them!

I feel it too and I am suffering. I take allergy pills but they dont stop it they just take some of the edge off. I love it when there is a good rain because it seems to clean out the air for a few days. I have suffered most of my life from it and now my little boy is suffering too. I hope he does not get it as bad as I have it.

There's nose sprays and tablets you can get for little ones, although I have to be careful with that nonsense cuz they can cause headaches. I am prone to headaches.

Speaking as a beekeeper who has kept bees for 30 years, Its been my experience that taking the pollen from bees in your area is often very beneficial in the cure of allergies. Go to a local beekeeper, and ask for fresh pollen, or failing that, Pollen capsules, or even pollen in pill form. Start your medication with a very small amount, a quarter teaspoon once a day, and gradually increase the amount. Don't expect miracles over night, The effects of the pollen must be built up in your system before you can expect results. This can take up to a Year.

Thank you for the advice. I'd have to save up $$ for that though. My budget's tight as a girdle right now...

Yep I get the miserable hay fever too. It hasn't been that bad yet this year, knock on wood. I am not holding my breath I know it will hit me. It is probably just that I have been locked up in my house more than usual.
I take a natural remedy of Quercetin/Bromelain to help the allergies. I started taking it already, before they started so hopefully it will or is keeping them at bay.
I hope you find something that works for you. I know they can be misery.

Yes, I think the suspect is cottonwood. Those buggers can turn the air white with what looks like raining feathers here.
