Then I started taking B-Complex vitamins every day, which are great for a whole lot of reasons. My allergies disappeared. I can't guarantee that it will work for everyone, but usually it does the trick. New Chapter is a great brand, made from natural extracts. Don't worry -- I don't own stock in the company. :) <br />Whatever you decide to try, I hope you get some relief soon! I've heard many people rave about the Neti Pot, but it does kinda creep me out. I'm sure it would be fantastic though, based on what everyone says. <br />I hope you're sniffle-free soon!Leslienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-83187648455095498832012-05-17T10:53:19.755-07:002012-05-17T10:53:19.755-07:00Betsy, Blogger screens out some Anonymous posts.

Luckily I haven't had a sneezing fit lately. I used to be severely allergic to California when I lived in Minnesota and would visit mom, but after 15 years I'm mostly acclimated.
