February Allergies - Anyone else? (trees, park, nurse)

[roscomac]

For the past two days, my allergies have been going nuts. This is not usually a time I have allergies. What could it be this early?

It is definitely allergies for me. I've noticed that any time we have a stretch of a few warm days in January, I can expect my allergies to kick in early-February, instead of early-January.

Yes. My mom is a nurse who worked for an allergist when I was a kid. This is when trees start budding. My eyes were absolutely killing me last week (not an allergy problem I usually have either).

Even taking Flonase, my eyes drip like a leaky toilet quite often here.

The Flonase needs to be supplemented by eye drops.

Whatever the bush/tree things are where I park at work are dropping some sort of round things. Those are the scientific terms.

I usually notice the maples budding first.

My husband has been sneezing his head off the past few days. This is early for him.

I normally have year round allergies that are really bad during the spring/summer. I haven't been taking my allergy medication the past couple days and have no noticeable allergies. Hopefully I can make it til April without having to take the meds. They're so expensive lol.

Definitely allergies. I've had to use Flonase yesterday and today.

The worst allergies of my life were there. Feb-April. I felt miserable. Eyes swollen and caked shut.

Yes, I realized today that was it ... the headache that Advil doesn't get rid of, ears ringing, scratchy eyes. Every year the invisible pollen before the green stuff gets me. Seems a little early this year, but my bulbs are all coming up too.
