Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well, today I noticed that Ive had a cough thats been on the upswing the past few days. My peak flows havent changed until today. I looked at pollen.com and sure enough...the predominant tree pollen is oak. I actually had to use my rescue inhaler today for the first time in a while...Im still in my 'green' zone but I also have not adjusted my peak flows for what has been a consistently higher range either..so my low green now might actually be a high yellow zone. I do notice more issues coughing when I get to the green/yellow area. So..it appears that oak pollen is most definitely a major trigger for me. It hasnt been listed as a pollen until this week... Of course, theres also the fact that we have some major weather coming too. Its been threatening to rain all day and has off and on but tomorrow they say we might get some severe weather.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thank you Ann for letting me know about pollen.com. I just subscribed to it. In my area 4 the next 4 days we are at the medium high level and all the trees that effect me are listed. Cheryl Burton ncicheryl@...
