Allergies

How many of you girls have allergies? Mine are driving my crazy, my nose is so congested and i sneeze like every 3 minutes. They are the worse in the morning, even Claritin doesn't help.

If your allergies are wore in the am and Claritin doesn't work you may have some aspect of pharyngeal-laryngeal reflux. It's the #1 cause of post-nasal drip. Try adding Prilosec OTC or another antacids for a week with the Claritin and see if that works. I just got done with my ENT rotation and I got pimped hard on just that issue.

Mine have been driving me crazy too. Claritin has sorta helped. When I get congested, I take Sudafed along with Claritin and that usually does the trick.

I never had allergies until a couple of years ago. Then, all of a sudden my eyes were so red and nasty! It actually looked like I was wearing hot pink eye shadow. And, I had post nasal drip so badly I wanted to kill myself.

I now take zyrtec (actually the cheapo walgreens generic one) every day and it's been wonderful! no more allergies!!!
