Host Liz Edwards and Dr. Michael Norvell jump right into spring allergies! Did you know that in Middle Tennessee, tree pollen starts to show in late February, sometimes even sooner? Now is the time to be prepared.

Dr. Norvell offers tips for when over-the-counter medications aren't helping or when you're not sure what's causing your symptoms. In either situation, he urges patients to err on the side of caution. The sooner you know, the sooner you can feel better. 

Dr. Norvell shares insight on skin testing, easing fears for any needle-phobic patients, and how allergy shots are different from the often confused steroid shots, too. 

He also explains when patients can expect relief if new to immunotherapy and how this "modification" of the immune system is customized to each patient's specific need.
