I live in New England which is damp/humid most of the time. It used to be that the fall leaves were the problem and I could ride fine the rest of the year. Now I notice that the allergies have gotten worse; sometimes when I bend down to grab the water bottle my equilibrium is off and I get a little dizzy or disoriented. I also get the weather headaches when the barometric pressure changes and a storm comes in.

Anyway, I have an appt. with an allergist soon, and I'm hoping some different medication will help. I'm worried though, that it will wipe me out and make me too tired to ride. Does anyone else have experience with this, and are there any meds I should stay away from in terms of riding and getting too tired?

I'm also interested in natural remedies; someone recommended local honey as a good treatment and I was wondering if you've tried it?

Thanks!! Debby
