Can we talk allergies?
I had them as a kid, but never as an adult, until now. It's pure misery, and unfortunately I can't take antihistamines because they make me pass out.
Any other non "antihistamine" remedies that anyone knows about, or can recommend??

Singulair - also used to treat asthma. It is a leukotriene(sp) blocker and not an anti-histamine. It is non-sedating and very effective.

OMG my poor DH! he was sick as a dog all weekend. he never ever gets sick and his allergies knocked him on his azz 
he's been taking Claritin and Advil Cold & Sinus. the Claritin helps him when the pollen is moderate but this weekend it didn't do much to help him. I wish he would go to the Doc and get something prescribed.

Rinse your nose with Ayr or salt water. It cleans the pollen out of your nose. You can buy Ayr at any drugstore. I use it because it has NO preservatives.

I don't take medication for mine...
Running the clean air filter on my AC helps.
Showering after you get home from work- gets all the pollen and gunk off of your skin and hair.
Plain old saline sprays to clean your your nose.
Vacuuming a LOT.
