Question:
Hayfever, BACK TO THE FUTURE!
does this have anything to do with wls? i have hay fever really bad this summer, like i did when i was much younger. i am 48 now. i am enjoying all the other side effects of wls like being the weight i was at age 20 and the energy when i was 16. i havent had hay fever for years but i have been miserable for a week. just wondering if it was wls related in any way. — PATSY N.

Patsy, I live in Denver and this has been the driest spring we've had in at
least 10 years. All the metro cities and suburbs have imposed lawn
watering restrictions cause the draught is so bad. Anyway, the news has
said that because it is so extraordinarily dry that allergies are way worse
than ususal too. That could be what's going on and it wouldn't have
anything to do with your surgery. You might call the Nevada Health
Department and see if they have any info for you.

I have had just the opposite reaction after the surgery. I am six months
post-op and I noticed almost immediately that I wasn't having nearly as
many sinus or allergy problems as before surgery. I was stunned but what a
great, unexpected side-effect of the surgery.
I hope you find the source of your hay fever and get it under control.

I have a seasonal allergy that lasts from Mother's Day to Father's Day
every year! I am especially careful this year about what to take. I have
been taking Claritin reditabs but they are not working. I used to take
Zyrtec. Is it ok to take now? Also I used to take chorltrimetone (sp?)
and it worked a long time ago. Now I am just suffering and sneezing all
the time. I have Flonase but haven't used it either because I am not sure
if safe. Can anyone advise? I know I need to go to the allergy doctor but
I hate to miss more work. Hope someone can help with any advice.
Thanks!

i am the original poster. i went to the doctor and he said it is just a bad
allergen/pollen time and symptoms should subside in a week or two. he gave
me allegra which is not working very well. i am going to call today for
something else. thanks for the replies.
