I had allergies ever since I was a kid until I was an old-fart. I moved all over the US and lived in London for awhile; allergies EVERYWHERE. The allergy medicine totally messes up your prostrate (which is an old-fart problem, BUT it's something to be aware of. The stuff is bad news if you take it forever). Eight years ago I started doing the allergy shots. Basically, they test what you are allergic too (for me mostly grasses) and then they make a solution of the stuff and start injecting it into you. Your own immune system eventually builds up the immunity. Don't forget, the crap in your nose is just your body trying flush whatever it is you ARE allergic to out of your body before it gets inside. The doctor told me about 20% of people don't respond at all to the shots, about 40% have to take the shots forever, and about 40% are cured. I was lucky, I haven't had shots for about 4 years now, and I haven't sneezed in 6 years!!!!!!!!! It's totally amazing. Check out the shots if you have health insurance.

I started having allergies for the first time about a year ago. Everytime I wake up in the morning, I have to go blow my nose a few times. I hope this stuff doesn't prevent me from driving. Anyway, I'm getting my permit in a month. Should I get a 1996 Civic manual for 1,000 dollars?

Yup, and it NEVER goes away. Might as well take care of it while you're younger. Like I said, the allergy drugs are bad if you're a male. The prostate gland is made out of the same material that your lips and the inside of your nose is made from. So, when you dry out your nose with the allergy drugs, you're also drying out your prostate; which eventually shrivels your dick! So, BE CAREFUL! LOLOL!

Never had a problem, although poison ivy is a killer every summer. Steriods help.
