Seasonal Message from PAL
It’s that time of year again…allergy season. In the southeast US, the spring allergy season begins in February, long before the yellow pollen is visibly layered all around. For many allergy sufferers, this is the worst time of the year for their symptoms. Those who have seasonally varying allergy difficulties will soon feel that all too familiar battle beginning.

The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are many. Affected individuals may have the common nasal stuffiness, nasal and eye discharge, itchy eyes and nose, postnasal drainage, cough, and sore throat in any combination. However, there are other more subtle symptoms that may be evident as well. These include fatigue, headache, difficulty sleeping and/or snoring. Often these are more understated and therefore go unrecognized as attributable to allergies.

If allergy difficulties have been experienced and diagnosed in a previous year, it is a good idea to begin the prescribed medication(s) before the symptoms begin. This will greatly lessen the impact or eliminate it altogether. If any of these described symptoms apply to you or your family members, please seek medical attention. Allergy related problems and symptoms lead to many missed school and work days annually. However, these may be avoided if properly evaluated and treated by a qualified medical professional.
