It's allergy period for me and the antihistamines don't do soykaf. Can someone suggest me a real way to stop this curse? I'm very allergic to grasses , and when I get outside I almost can't breathe after ~10 minutes for the soykaf inside my nose and sneezing and irritation (also combo with seborroic dermatithis) I originally thought to train my body to just deal with it but i understand it's almost impossible as a 20 yr.

A facemask maybe? FFP3 or something? People with severe allergy in our school wore masks in allergy season.

There are hormonal shots that my mom takes. It seems to help quite a bit. Speak with your doctor about it

Get some local honey from a farmers market and take a spoonful every day. Your body will build up immunity to allergens. It sounds fake but it does wonders for my seasonal allergies.

>>13077 What antihistamines have you tried? I recommend either Azelastine or Desloratadine. They don't make you tired and they work for me personally. A mask should help: >>13078 A cheap (surgical?) mask should work, I don't think you necessarily need a FFP3 mask? I think the pollen particles aren't that small? I'm not 100% sure.

>>13081 I've tried both generations, recent ones have been cetirizine, levocetirizine and diphenhydramine. IIRC cetirizine and levocetirizine are second generation so they don't make you tired as well. diphenhydramine should be first instead. Anyways, they did nothing. Is there a reason you suggest those in particular? Also, i am really careful about trying this stuff because I am skeptical about these chems. I don't really know much about it, but I guess they would try to make you dependent from that in every way possible. I actually gave a read to the levocetirizine manual and jesus christ the side effects are comparable to nicotine. And it did feel like quitting smoking altogether. So I tried a "natural" method like >>13080 said but it didn't work at all. But I know that for some it does, maybe it's because I am also allergic to specific trees and pollen. The mask totally works but I would like to avoid that. I can't stand masks anymore. >>13079 I guess you mean allergy shots? I actually talked about it already with mine, but the shots are experimental (it's nation wide healthcare, not private) and it takes about 5 years of treatment, and they are not even sure it works. At that point I would just take the chems

>>13086 > Is there a reason you suggest those in particular? They have worked well for me. Azelastine is the only nasal spray antihistamine that I have used and at 0.13 mg strength you can use it twice a day. Desloratadine is the active metabolite of loratadine and I have used it in the tablet form and I think it also works pretty well.

>>13086 >cetirizine and levocetirizine are second generation so they don't make you tired as well Cetirizine made me drowsy when I started it and my doctor warned me that it would. After using it for a week or so I stopped getting drowsy from it.

I have noticed i feel better while eating an apple. This is highly inefficient so I suspect a quercetin nasal spray would do the job but I dont know how frequent you need to redose. Basically it acts as a mast cell stabilizer and antihistamine.

Another thing you could try is luteolin which may go by "artichoke extract". Luteolin is a natural PDE4 inhibitor. This may help with the seborroic dermatitis.
