South eastern New Mexico in the vicinity of the Sacramento Mts and northward toward Capitan DOES have cedar. It's prime cedar territory although there aren't that many cedar trees there. I do know what you mean about "sinus hell". When I lived there, the ONLY pollen that bothered me was that - - and I have a laundry list of east coast trees to which I am allergic.
The only cedar trees I've seen in Ohio are the ones people have planted, usually in cemeteries.
We do however have a lot of other sneeze-causing stuff. Right now the empty field next to us is full of goldenrod and I am sneezing, coughing and producing grunge out of my sinus cavities at a great rate. I ran out of Zyrtec.
Which brings me to second the motion posted by Waysider. A good doctor could probably find something to help. Zyrtec is the only thing that helps me, but there are lots of others out there. I should warm you also that Zyrtec is expensive, the copay even is expensive. But it's worth it, at least to me.
Hey YID I didn't know anyone lived close. I live up in Kerrville in the middle of those trees. Yes it is cedar fever. Yes everyone needs to know that you can actually run a fever from it.
I do several things to lessen the problem. The first is I take a Claritan every day starting well before the season. Next I take two ester C vitamins every day. Next a GOOD filter for the house a/c system.
One thing to note is that the trees usually release the pollen on warm days. A warm day in January its best to stay inside. The trees will turn red with the pollin. THey will then release it all at one time. It almost looks like smoke rising from the tree.
This year with all the rain we got its going to be bad. Good luck with avoiding the problem.

I have not seen many cedar trees in Atl. There are tons of skinny pine trees
What about a desert place like vegas?

I doubt western Nebraska has many, specially around North Platte . They do have the Sand Hills there and I'm not too sure that is conducive to cedar

NW Montana has cedars. Here's a pic of a cool place.

I'm allergic to many, many tree pollens native to the NW and Rockies.

Have you consulted with an allergist?
Maybe there is a shot you can get.
Just a thought?
