People Allergies and Horses

How in the hell do people with allergies deal with horses?? I'm dying here! I've taken just about every allergy med on the shelf and nothing works.

Even if it says not drowsy, puts me right out. I still sneeze and get a runny nose (most attractive, I can tell you) and have the itchy eyes (even more attractive).

One of the meds worked fine till it started to wear off and then I felt ever so hung over. Just like if I had been drinking and then was hung over. I don't do alkyhol in the least and this is one of the main reason. The hangover is too bad for me to enjoy that swell tasting Margarita, I know it's coming and just ruins the whole experience.

Or the meds put me out to the point that I've wasted most of the day. That's a non-starter too. When I go to the barn, I wheeze and snort and even my horse looks at me pitifully. Walking across the barn takes major effort because my poor system isn't getting its full ration of oxygen! Forget walking down to the arena, that's what my horse is for anyway, I'll ride her down there.

Just saw an ad on the telly about some stuff that you put on your nostrils and it's supposed to block the nasties before they get in your system. That one is next on my list to try.

Sucks to be me right now...
