Seasonal allergies can slow anyone down. Keeping them under control can be hard. There are different things you can do, and try, in order to achieve a more comfortable life without allergies.
Visit your doctor. This way you can ensure that you are dealing with allergies. Your doctor can prescribe medicine that can really help with your allergies. He can also monitor you to make sure you are on the right medication. Doctors also can provide you with ideas of how to better manage allergies.
Step2
Try over the counter medication. There are many brands to choose from. If you are just experiencing indoor allergies, there is a medicine just for that. You should be able to find medication for your type of allergy. If you are unsure of what to buy, get a medicine that treats all kinds of allergies.
Step3
Remove the problem from your environment. If dust is a real problem for you, clean until every spec of dust is gone. If you are having trouble with pet dander, find a different place for your pets or keep them really clean and groomed all of the time. You will also need to vacuum and dust a lot. This will get rid of the dander in your house.
Step4
Install a humidifier. The stand alone humidifiers are inexpensive compared to the ones that are installed professionally. This will allow moisture to stay in the air and will help keep your sinuses from drying out.

You are dead on about taking control of and controling the things that you can. You may not be able to have totalk relief outside your home, but there is no reason that, within your own house, you can't adjust things and conditions to benefit your condition.
