My allergies have been the best in Houston. In Waco it was non-stop and it was really bad in the winter; even now when I go back to visit; they start acting up. My allergies aren't that bad at all in Houston.

I was out sick for a day...woke up and my head was pounding and I had a sore throat.

They put the substances on your forearms and you wait like 10 mins. This will tell the doctor what med and shots to you give you.

The lower the #, the better day you will have.

Mine were horrible in San Antonio - absolutely debilitating - I could barely get out of bed and I was just miserable at work. Luckily my 2 immediate superiors had the same if not worse allergies.

In Phoenix, it was bad, too - I didn't have the sneezing or itchy/watery eyes - but the clogged ears & headaches were just awful.

Mine weren't so bad in SoCal but it's been slightly better than SA or Phx.

Yeah I did that same test. I was going to continue getting my shots here, but I don't need to because my allergies are great in Houston.

Lol, with that test I found out I was allergic to cats, dogs, bananas, eggs, milk and roaches amongst other stuff.

There is a great Allergy doctor in Katy.
You still need another test because you are in Houston now.

I have no food allergies. Not allergic to Roaches either but I am allergic to most trees here.

I have the same problem.
What has helped with allergy (and I swear by it as it has helped many members of my family and friends) is to mix a teaspoon of real honey (real honey, not processed) to a cup of tea, drink it in the morning. In a week or two, you will see the different. If you like, a dash of lemon will kick up the flavor. I usually buy honey from near by farm or farmer market.

Now, a few days before the next allergy season, have a teaspoon of honey every morning will really help to reduce your allergy. If you do that, your allergy will be significantly lessened.

Hot tea with honey is good...especially if you add one more 86 proof ingredient.
