The ragweed is making me crazy!

Between the Singulair and the Flonase I'm clear and breathing OK, but my nose is so itchy I could cry. It feels like an everlasting sneeze coming on, but sneezing doesn't help. All three of the kids who are home are having the same problem.

1. Bummers!

Does Benedryl help at all?

Hope you're all better soon! :hug::hug::hug:

2. Only if I want to do a Sleeping Beauty imitation!

It's raining now, so I'm feeling a lot better. The season is about two weeks early, so I'm hoping that doesn't mean fall will get here two weeks early!

5. I'm glad the rain has brought some relief...

How about those air purifier machines? Ever think about investing?

3. so THAT'S why I've been sneezing

I've never actually been tested, but yeah. You can go to http://www.sinuspharmacy.com/pollencount.html enter your zip code and find out just what is irritating you. Drinking lots of water seems to help some. Good luck

4. I use cromolyn

The stuff is amazing. It's OTC here, I'm not sure about there. No side effects, either. (I wanted to get off the Flonase because it's a steroid. This isn't)

Sorry you're all feeling lousy. :grouphug:

6. Boy, that name is really familiar for some reason.

I think we used it years ago for my son's asthma and it stopped his symptoms dead in their tracks. I'll check for it today when i go to the store. People bitch about the cost of medicine, and I do my share, but I really am thankful for all the new medications. I've been dealing with allergies for fifty years. The old medications were like going after a house fly with a sledge hammer. The new ones are lasar guide missiles!

7. Same for my gf...

She's been sleeping under the AC every night for a week...Flonase, Claritin, the works... :hug:
