Okay, it's officially spring
I just took my first allergy med of the year.

It won't be the last.

1. My car was just covered in pollen today
No wonder I've felt lousy. :(

I wish I could take meds for it.

4. Animal products.
All the pills I've seen had dairy in 'em or gelatin on the outside or some other issue, while I have yet to find a liquid that didn't have some sort of animal product in it either.

Sucks, 'cause I've been miserable with allergies since a few days after it finally stopped raining.

6. I wasn't aware of that
Figured it was something to do with veganism, though.

Y'know, I may not completely agree with you, but I sure do admire your conviction. :thumbsup:

And :hug: for your sniffles 'n' stuff.

8. Have you tried Cromolyn?
I checked the ingredients and it doesn't look like there are any animal products... www.cromolyn.ca

10. Looks promising
But apparently it's not sold OTC in the US. I lost my health coverage last month, so I'm still stuck. Thanks though. :D

11. Oh crud :(
I've been using it for the year, and have found it quite helpful.

Prior to that, I was using a homeopathic remedy that was brilliant, except the company discontinued it. x(

7. Thanks, Joani
It'll help. Question is, will it do it without makin' me dopey or jittery, or both?

9. If you're not driving ~ dopey is better.

I hate the my_skin_is_crawling feeling that some drugs can bring on. Jittery makes me darned uncomfortable.
