Allergies and other bull

Well, its that time for me. Stupid allergies. My sinuses are constantly hurting, and I sneeze about 100 times a day. The best part is that feeling of glass or sand in your eyes. I've taken Allegra-D, but it made my heart feel like it was gonna jog right outside my chest, so I've opted to just live with the annoyance. A gal at work said I should go get tested to see what I'm allergic to. Do you know what they do for that test?!!? They stick a bunch of little needles in ya. NO thanks! There is a reason I dont have any tattoos, belly rings, etc... I have an unusually high tolerance for pain, but dont really like to endure it if I dont have to. Any of you know of any 'home remedy' for allergies?
