Anybody get worse symptoms from allergies, or when allergy season begins?

I do, because there is more stress on my body due to all the pollen. It can be easy to blame the infections, but as soon as the pollen levels go back down, so do some of my symptoms - particularly the head symptoms.

When it gets bad enough, I start on 24 hour antihistamines and decongestants as needed. I'm not going to set myself up for a sinus infection, those happen often enough for me during allergy season!

i didn't have much worse Lyme symptoms, but I did have the worst allergy symptoms ever! Post-nasal drip caused a very bad sore throat for two days, followed by a runny nose, followed by a week of productive coughing. Thats finally starting to subside. Watery eyes at night.

Im assuming it was all allergies bc the usual cold remedies did not help, but a neti pot did; all mucous was crystal clear; pollen count was very high last week.
