1. Good ole OTC Claritin
and a lot of tissue

Hope you feel better soon. My allergies are calming down though

2. I use
Nasonex nasal spray every morning and pop Zyrtec when it's particularly bad. I seem to be more sensitive to mold, so I'm pretty miserable when it's rainy and damp for a few days in a row. I certainly couldn't make it in Seattle.

Hope you find relief soon. :hug:

5. Zyrtec
is what's on my formulary. Even with insurance coverage, it runs about $40 a month to treat my allergies and then throw in another one for blood pressure on top of that.

I know I shouldn't whine. So many others have it much worse. At least it's covered partially and I can pick up the rest.

4. Man I wish spring would get sprung here
But then again I don't have allergies. It was 18 degrees here this morning.

6. Flonase
Flonase worked for me for years. I have recently stopped all allergy meds because I was getting to dried out. Would have done anything for a sneeze or running nose a few weeks ago.

Also had luck with Allegra and Clarinex. Zyrtec made me very thirsty and Claritin never really helped much.

The only thing that really helped get me over the worst of my allergies was allergy shots.

Feel better soon.
