PS - sorry to hear of your continued symptoms. I will think of anything else I may know or have in my books that can shed light on this. Do you know what is triggering your allergy symptoms? And specific pollens/or other agents?

Thank you, and thanks for the herb sources - the last one is new to me. I really have no idea. So many diverse things bloom in Florida winters. Symptoms seem to be made worse with temperature changes, as well, and started this year with the 30-40 degree swings from day to night in mid-January. I’m sensitive to those, even though nighttimes are warmer now, and even indoors - going from a warmer to a cooler room, or passing under a direct AC draft, will often get me coughing, sneezing, or breathing heavily and not deeply while trying to hack up the post-nasal drip in my throat. I’m having to sleep in catnap-like shifts whenever I can, usually only 2-3 hours at a time before abruptly waking with issues. Even the simple act of eating will stir the mucus up. I breathe nebulized H2O2 or oils in steam, and drink lukewarm or hot herbal concoctions with honey and lemon, but they only offer temporary relief. Symptoms usually disappear after 8-10 weeks, but I’m so freakin’ tired of it all already! I can’t remember another season this bad.
