Been spittin' up cotton balls for the last few weeks . With all the south wind blowing that's not a big surprise . About 6 weeks ago I was hospitalized with diabetic edema ( swelling with water retention ) and got put on lasix along with several other meds . I've dropped over 45 lbs but this week I've developed this itching that's in a different location daily . I stopped the lasix because I was concerned with dehydration . I'll be going to the Dr . tomorrow . Any thoughts ?

Did you have 45 of water retention in your body? That's a lot

Sorry to hear that siberman, my eyes are just blood red from this junk in the air

I actually gained over 50 pounds in a couple of weeks . I 've LOST ~45 pounds so far

That's a lot[/quote]

Tell me about it . My legs and (ahem) other things were twice their normal size .

It's not just you, we live East of Longview and my wife and I have been sneezing and coughing our heads off. No fever, just allergy symptoms . Our daughter in Tyler has the same allergy symptoms. Ready for some north wind to push this junk out of here.

I saw the cedars "smoking" from the deer stand last week. Glad that stuff doesn't bother me.

Mountain Cedar and molds are very high on the chart here in San Antonio as well.

My allergies are bad, to the point my allergy Dr. told me to move to Arizona. When I go down the coast to work the are much better even though per my Dr. I’m bad allergic to Mesquite.

About every month or two they kick in and I get not just typical allergy symptoms, but flu like symptoms and at times can get out of bed. The allergy Meds Dr prescribed help. I’m not as bad at our place in Rayburn country, but still bad. I can drive into our subdivision in League city will all the flowers and shrubs etc and within a few min. I’m sick.

We plan to spend time in Oklahoma after the end of Jan. when I retire. Hope is not a good strategy but hope they are not as bad.

If it was up to me I’d move back to Corpus, out West somewhere. I lived and worked in Corpus years back. But my wife hates it.

Flower Mound is terrible allergies. Google says Mountain Cedar season last until February! I've been doing allergy shots for a year now. still not much better.

I’m a snot factory right now, that’s the only symptom I have

Cedar X drops could be your friend. Wife Has horrible allergies to Cedar but she started taking her usual cedar X over three weeks ago and does not have a sniffle. She’s been using the cedar X drops for a few years now with great success.

I live in a valley surrounded by Cedar Trees and this stuff works great for me

Not too good in my neck of the TX. "Cedar" woods.

Benedryl

I'm not allowed to take Benadryl. it makes me mean as a two headed snake. The wife forbades it, and hides it from me. While it does do the trick, there is something in it that makes me mean.
