Is Anyone Else Suffering?
#31
The green dust was thick here a few weeks ago. My head was stuffed and hurting. My Dr. told me to take Musinex D. and an aspirin for my headache. That stuff works great. In 24 hours no more stuffed head or sinus.

He gave me a scrip for Nasonex , big mistake ! My eyes watered more , nose continually ran , made my throat raw . I thought this stuff was supposed to help , not make it worse :thumbdown: Singulair users , does it make you sleepy ? I need something nondrowsy . Can't be sleepy when you are trying to sew. Annie

If you suffer from allergies the best relief is to have all the testing done and then have drops made specific for your allergy. Everone I know that has the drops made for their allegry say it is a miracle cure!

Not from allergies..but those teeny tiny little bitty (bitchy) NO-SEE-UMS (sp?)
They are biting like there is no tomorrow.
took two benadryl the other night and didn't know another thing until 8:30 the next morning.
First time ever to experience them...and I sure hope that it's the last. !!!!!

My huisband had the two shots and the three prescriptions and he was fine for two days,but this evening he is burning up and getting chills. I guess we will be heading back to the doctors office soon.Has anyone else had these symptoms with their allergies??He did the same thing the last time before we went to the doctors.He even lost his appetite.

I have had year round allergies for as long as I can remember. There have been days when I could hardly function, especially in the spring and fall, or when I am around many types of mold. I finally bit the bullet, about five years ago and went to an allergist. I now get monthly shots, one in each arm, to desensitize me to the things that I am allergic to. They have been a miracle, I am almost symptom free and use only prescription eye drops. There is a bit of discomfort from the shots, but I will take that, once a month, in exchange for the freedom from symptoms. I am fortunate that our health insurance covers most of the cost.

Likewise for me....pollen allergies and industrial allergies. Yes, I have tried just about everything with several negative side-effects. However, a doctor a few years ago took me off all pills and put me on prescription nasal drops. I was not dizzy anymore. Secondly, he had me start using bee's honey from the area I lived. That is the key, honey from your immediate area. One has to double check at grocery stores to make sure you have a local beekeeper supplying the store. Pollen was recorded the highest it has ever been since recording started here in Missouri. What a pain. I just sleep in a face mask and go to the basement to sew most of the other time. Of course we are the first of neighbors to have our air-conditioning on. Expensive, yes, but cheaper than a couple doctor's appt and more meds. Take care everyone.
