So I forgot about the part of fall that I don't love...

Allergies. I don't get the snotty, runny, sneezey allergies. I get them in my eyes. Every year at about this time my eyes completely dry out. My contacts feel like rocks in my eyes. Wearing my glasses isn't much better.

Reading is torture. Reading a computer screen is worse. This is not a good thing in my line of work, where 90% of my day is spent reading, mostly on a computer.

For several years in a row I visited my eye doctor about this time. He was of little help, advising me to take OTC eye drops. They don't help for more than 5 minutes.

So once again I am suffering. Don't know how to make it better, and will be glad when the fall allergy season passes.

Clarinex. The best thing in the whold wide world. Only downside, you need a prescription (you don't for claritin). But, it's so worth it.

Ugh, me too. I am so miserable today. I am picking up a prescription for Flonase tomorrow. It's the only thing that helps me. And I HATE shooting stuff up my nose, but it works.
