Right now I'm suffering big time from whatever types of pollen are floating around. I can't seem to recall if it was still allergy season last year during Roo (I must not have been that miserable) but was curious if anybody else has had bad allergies during mid-June in Tennessee?
Anyway...this is a reminder to those with bad allergies to bring your pills and be prepared in case it's on. With all the dust floating around that place it's probably not a bad idea to take some before you venture into Centeroo anyway.

I'm glad you brought this up. Yesterday I had the hugest allergy attacks....they lasted all day long. There is something blooming right now that my body does not like. Working is hard today because of the "bloated head" feeling.

There was a thread about this a while back but I can't find it. I have pretty bad allergies al year and mild asthma. I use Advair prevative inhaler and I take Claritin D and I was totally fine last year. It was pretty dry and I know some people had issues with the dust but I didn't.

depends what you are allergic to, but in my opinion, it's too friggin hot to be alergic to anything. I have pretty bad allergies, never had a problem at the Roo.
Normally I don't have any problem but this year, with all the strange weather, things are blooming at unusual times so who knows. If your allergies can get BAD bring some Claritin or something.

Awesome! I'll go buy some today so I can breathe through my nose and not sneeze. I think I pulled a muscle in my throat from sneezing so much!!! ;D
I am glad to know also - same prob with allergies meds as you - although - when it gets bad - I take them anyway
Meg, I just went to the drug store and picked up some Claritin 24 hr. allergy medicine. It didn't say anything about not taking it if you have thyroid disease...just don't take it if you have liver or kidney disease.
Cool - let me know if it works - I will try that - the most I have done is used these Sudafed strips I found - Boz has high BP so I have to be careful what he takes and I figured if it was safe for him to use the Sudafed - then I could also

I have a chronically stuffy nose due to allergies, but at roo it seems to go away, I think it is because there are very few trees, and the grass is all freshly mowed.

i've been getting dyshidrotic eczema on my hands for the past 2 years and it gets really really bad in the spring/summer when i'm outside for a while. i'm extremely worried about this for bonnaroo because when i'm outside for more than a few hours in the spring my hands get it really bad and the pain is excrutiating, not all of the time, the pain usually lasts from anywhere between 5-30 minutes and comes back a few times a day.
