    Default Allergies?

    My allergies really kicked in on Friday and have been getting worse since, massive congestion, sore throat now... the usual hell that spring brings.

    I've been using Claritan for the last few years and it isn't doing shit this year. What do you guys use?
    The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.

    Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

    I deal with my cat, ragweed, and some black fall mold with allergy shots. They're a pain in the butt at times, but worth it. I used to cough constantly during the fall, but now, it's hard to find evidence of allergies.

    After shots for 5 years, you can stop and are considered 'immune' for life.

    I get a shot right around tax day for hay fever. It's such a painless shot I don't even feel them stick it in. On bad weeks i'll take clariton d to suppliment the shot (d works alot better than the regular clariton)

    I don't have the sneezing issues, I get really flemmy and massive sinus issues.

    just got back - I was hoping for Advil Allergy but they didn't have any so I'm giving Tylennol Allergy and Sinus a shot.

    if that doesn't work it looks like its back to the classic - benadryl

    I'm horribly allergic to grass. I've been taking zyrtec for years. Now, I dont think it does much. When I move back to North America I'm going to try these shots. I've had chronic coughing, chronic sinusitis, etc.

    zyrtec is now generic - you can get hundreds of zyrtec tablets for about $30 at sams club.
