Now that allergy season is here, many allergy sufferers will visit
their doctors to seek relief from the annoying and troublesome symptoms
that allergies cause. Symptoms we associate with allergy include sneezing;
runny nose; itchy eyes, throat, ears and skin; congestion; sinus pressure;
and general misery. For many sufferers, the allergy season represents a
time when sleep, work and recreation are disturbed. According to results
of a new Harris Interactive survey, 82% of allergy sufferers surveyed said
they experience restlessness at night, including tossing and turning, 87%
wake feeling tired, and 93% wake feeling congested as a result of their
allergies.
