Megalomania Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 HOW THE EFF DO YOU MAKE THEM NOT AS ANNOYING? :freak: For the past week, I can't breathe out of my nose at all. And I look like I'm crying, that's how much my eyes are running. It's ridiculous. :blank: So what are your remedies? I've tried Claritin- nothing. Some generic brand- nothing. Today I took the first Allegra, apparently that's better than Claritin but I took it 5 hours ago and still no results. :uhoh: :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I hate allergies... this week has been terrible for me. especially itchy eyes and sneezing. You should try Zyrtec. I use that for my allergies. I don't really know how well it works overall because I don't get allergies as bad as I used to but it seems to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanif94 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm allergic to chocolate :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Zyrtec? Hm. :thinking: I'll try it if Allegra doesn't do anything. Is it just me or is this year super bad allergy-wise? :uhoh: I've always had bad allergies, but never this bad. :freak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm allergic to chocolate :bigcry: I think I would die. :| I mean seasonal allergies though. :P Not even sure what I'm allergic to- I'm thinking ragweed, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 it's been pretty bad this year. Especially this past week. I see pollen all over the place... I don't remember there being this much last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's weird because I honestly am not seeing that much pollen, but I sure as hell can feel it. :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me or is this year super bad allergy-wise? :uhoh: I've always had bad allergies, but never this bad. :freak: Give the Allegra a day to work itself out. Buy some Afrin or Breath Right strips to help with the congestion in the meantime. Make sure you have Allegra D. That's the one with the Decongestant AND Anahistimine.

Karencorpse Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Try Vitamin B complex, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Manganese, Magnesium Do a search on this subject such as allergies and hay fever and remedies. There are a lot of web sites about this. You could probably order them from the USA and have them shipped to your island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Looks like the Allegra I have has no decongestant; only antihistamine. :thinking: I'll definitely get some of those other ones though, too. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karencorpse Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 So you can go to a large health food store or Vitamin World, and possibly a Chinatown for herbs. There are things you can do here that are not allowed in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of web sites about this. You could probably order them from the USA and have them shipped to your island. Eh, she could just go to the doctor and take them only if indicated? Also, if you've been dealing with the allergic reaction for a few days antihistamine drugs won't do much, histamine only works in the initial reaction. Steroids maybe? Just go see a doctor.

Prince Myshkin Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I can stay away from my allergies, cats! Most of my friends have cats, so I can't, unfortunately. I'm allergic to dust too, and as I have just finished having a big tidy in my room for the first time in a year (getting rid of lots of paper and magazines etc) I now have a cold.

Imke Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I usually suffer from hay fever, but I escaped it this year. :awesome: Normaly I take pills called Cetirizin and they help. There was a time when I needed something way stronger though and I got a prescription for pills that were able to knock you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empily Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I used to get such bad hayfever in the summer :uhoh: My nose would itch and run until it was sore and I used to get a million nosebleeds XD but these days it seems to have sorted itself out :anxious: I used to use decongestion drops and Clarytin, even though they didn't really work that well My friend went to the doctors and was prescribed stronger stuff, which apparently worked for her so maybe do that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I can tell today is going to be a bad allergy day. Woke up with a runny nose which I still have and sneezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I had the worst allergy 2 days ago ! It's so annoying. Sometimes I just wanna cut off my nose. I feel better seeing a lot of people have them as well though. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Urgh I hate allergies... I don't usually get them but this year it's bad. I can't sing with allergies :( Take allergy medication and a pain killer for your throat if it's bothering you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you get an itchy, super sneezy, runny nose along with itchy watery eyes, I highly recommend Clarinex 24-hr with a side of Nasonex (as needed). Both are prescribed, but clear me up within minutes, even if my attack is pretty severe. I'm non-allergenic rhinitis, which means I'm not allergic to anything, but anything (including weather) can set me off. That's a whole slew of potentials, and the clarinex and Nasonex keep my sane.

Megalomania Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Doodz, this is ridiculous. :| So, this morning, I woke up feeling like shit. I was nauseous, I had a fever, I had a headache, my nose was dripping (:sick:), and I had lost my voice. So I went to the doctor, and she said I now have a sinus infection as well as allergies. Fml. And on top of that, tomorrow and Wednesday are my End Of Course biology exams- state mandatory tests. :| And I've slept all day with the exception of an hour to go to the doctor. :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
