Who's sneezing?
I don't know much about allergies. I never thought I had them, but now I'm starting to wonder.
I've had a sore throat, and have been losing my voice, and that turned into a runny nose,coughing, and sneezing.
My doctor said it was probably a virus that would just run its course.
But, I've noticed lots of people are sneezing, and complaining of similar symptoms.
How about you?
Anyone have any favorite remedies?
It's no fun for anyone to suffer with allergies, or any of the symptoms I mentioned, but it's especially annoying in my line of work... and for you,dear viewers, to have to listen to my gravely, nasally voice.
So, let me know what you do for laryngitis, and a sore throat.
Allergy sufferers unite! Or is it just a June cold?
Here's to clearing things out soon.
Thanks for sticking with me,

Hi Laural,
There is a ton of folks out there a suffering recently. There are 3 or 4 of us at work that are battling the runny noses, itchy eyes every day this spring.
We live here in the Mid Valley in the middle of grass fields everywhere and now they are about to start mowing and harvesting, thus stirring up the old pollen and dust once more.
Would I move...Nope, I love Oregon and will endure as long as I have my Claritin. It works for me, but does not for my co-workers.
Good luck with your allergies Laural. We enjoy your broadcasts even if you have the sniffles.

Hi Laural,
I'm suffering from the same symptoms myself. I tend to suffer from some annual allergies but nothing quite like this. I'm still undecided if its actually an allergy or some virus as your doctor suggested. I've tried taking some claritin but that has not done me any good. If you do find a remedy please pass it along as I'm not sure what else to do except drink lots of fluids and get some rest.

Hi Laural, I have symptoms similar to yours along with a constant head/ear ache. I've been dealing with seasonal allergies spring but over the last few days I've felt so much worse. I usually take claritin but it's not helping much right now which makes me think I've got a cold. Advil helps with the headache and lots of hot tea is getting me throught the work day, it makes my nose and throat feel better. Good luck to you, I hope you feel better soon but I'd watch KGW anyway, you guys are my favorite.
