May 11, 201115 yr 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:
May 11, 201115 yr 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
May 11, 201115 yr Author 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:
May 11, 201115 yr Author 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.
May 11, 201115 yr 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
May 11, 201115 yr Author It's weird because I honestly am not seeing that much pollen, but I sure as hell can feel it. :uhoh:
May 11, 201115 yr 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: 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.
May 11, 201115 yr 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.
May 11, 201115 yr Author Looks like the Allegra I have has no decongestant; only antihistamine. :thinking: I'll definitely get some of those other ones though, too. :wacko:

Oh, I'm from the mainland US, I just like the flag. :P

May 11, 201115 yr 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.

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. Allergology.
May 11, 201115 yr 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.
May 11, 201115 yr 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.
May 11, 201115 yr 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
May 12, 201115 yr I can tell today is going to be a bad allergy day. Woke up with a runny nose which I still have and sneezing
May 14, 201115 yr 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:
May 14, 201115 yr 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.
May 16, 201115 yr 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.
May 16, 201115 yr Author 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:
