Happy Spring! Group: Administrators Posts: 27,473 Member No.: 2 Joined: 8-February 03	My allergies are just HORRIBLE. Just a few minutes ago, I must have sneezed about 20 times. Poor Ashley, she kept trying to say "God Bless you" but couldn't keep up with the sneezes. That, combined with the watery eyes and runny nose... I am miserable. I have seen the doc about this in the past, and the shots do no good for me. The perscription drugs make me so drowsy that I can't function. (Same with OTC meds) HELP! Anyone with allergies, have you found any relief? -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Both are a 24 hour pill and don't cause too much drowsiness. The Claritan much less drowsiness than the Zyrtec. (I've tried both) We take them at night around 3-4 hours before bedtime and then the drowsiness that comes, will come at a perfect time. Works for us!! -------------------- Anne Marie Mom to Billy & Mary Beth Wife to Lee

Alec takes Nasacort nightly for nasal congestion, and Pulmacort for a chronic asthmatic cough (although both medications worked so well that he doesn't even take them on a regular basis anymore. -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

I have also used flonase that is good and rhino cort aqua the nasal sprays don't make you drowsy but they take a couple of days to start working. -------------------- Carrie Mommy to Isabella 09/06/2002 and Kyrsten 06/27/2005 The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.
