Four long years.
That’s how long I had to endure allergy shots when I was a kid.
You name it – pollen, ragweed, grass – I’m allergic to it.
Spring and Fall are the worst for me. I want to spend time in my garden planting peonies and clipping lilacs but I’m usually out there sniffling and sneezing, my pockets stuffed with tissues.
My girls inherited my allergies so there are lots of watery eyes and runny noses in the Elko house.
I’ve found a great solution to keep us feeling great so we can all get outside.
FLONASE Sensimist Allergy Relief is a new nasal spray that is perfect for me because I am so forgetful when it comes to remembering to take my allergy pills to help me build up an immunity in advance. Plus I just learned that my over the counter allergy pills only work on one allergy trigger while FLONASE Sensimist works on six.
It works for 24 hours so I only need to use it once a day and it gives me relief from pollen, mold, dust and pet dander. I love that it is scent and alcohol free too. I found it at my local CVS Pharmacy.
In fact, my girls have sore throats for the last couple of days so my husband went to CVS and asked the pharmacist what they should take and she recommended FLONASE! He came home we laughed when he told me because it was such a coincidence that we already had it.
If you’re looking for me, you’ll find me in my garden thanks to FLONASE Sensimist!
Do you suffer from allergies?

I had the same problem! I think I was 10-12 the first time they stuck all those needles in my back for the allergy testing. Over 50 years ago allergy testing was just in its beginning and it was like getting a shot 88 times in my back. Then most of them reacted and I was one miserable little girl. In my Year book, one of my nicknames was Kleenex! I use Flonase, but will try this new version! Thanks for sharing
I had the shots in my back too Nancy! Thankfully, we’ve come a long day since that torture!
Hi Kelly –
Your yard looks so pretty! I have suffered from nasal allergies all my life. Allergy pills and shots make me feel awful…Flonase never does. It is the only thing that has ever help lessen the effects of allergies without making me feel bad.
Good to know Diane – I’m always happy to spread the word about something that really helps!
hahaha. This speaks to me girl (the tissue filled pockets)
In fact I used to get allergy shots, but you can only take them for so long. I’ll definitely check this out!! Because Spring here is glorious, until the cottonwood tree blooms fill the air on breezy days. Ugh.
Cottonwoods are worth a few sneezes!
i don’t suffer, but chris does- will have to look into this for him!
You’re so lucky you don’t have to deal with these pesky allergies!
We need a good allergy relief around here. pollen is rampant. glad that you can spend time outdoors now! i appreciate the tip.
Pollen is the worst Laura!
That “bucket” I do believe, is a chamber pot. Really. 😊
LOL – good to know!
