From a distance, you don't see much spring growth. But up close, many trees are exploding with buds. Dr. Dvorin blames our wet winter, and in fact, saw the first hint of allergy trouble in mid-winter. Some allergy sufferers didn't need a calendar to tell them there was pollen in the air.

Tree pollens will probably continue to climb, as more species, like oak and pine, come into bloom. Then next month, grass pollens will show up. So the worst may be to come. Orthopedic surgeon Raz Winiarsky says that the right pillow can make a difference. Your spine curves at your neck, and your muscles will work to recreate that natural position.
