    I am having a hard time focusing on studying due to congestion, headaches, constant sneezing, runny nose, and trouble breathing. I woke up this morning at 4:00am not being able to breathe and after that woke up 10 more times with sneezing attacks. It was horrible! I am exhausted today, have not gotten any studying done, and the Allegra I started taking 5 days ago is NOT working! Anyone suffering with same issue or have any tips/advice?

    Also try local honey and eat a teaspoon a day. It saved me last year when the meds were not really helping. I plan on picking up some this weekend and start taking it before the pollen starts getting bad in Tennessee.

    I live off of Mucinex (behind the counter) these days. When I tested back in Feb, I had some sort of cold (Murphy's Law) and I was soooo worried someone testing would go crazy with the Axe and blow my sinuses up even more. Plus, as hardcore about what you take into the testing room, I was worried about tissues. Thankfully, I was able to take some in which also helped as an eraser πŸ˜‰ (not the same one for my nose!).

    Hiya,

    Sorry if I sound a bit like a retard here but I wanted to confirm about how I can get the Clartin D.

    Thankfully I don't suffer from Allergies but my husband does and its awful, I can hear him Wheezing through the night, choughing, his eyes are red, Doesn't liked to be touched and behaves likes a Grizzly bear.

    He is having zytrek and has had Allegra.

    I am pushing him to go see a Allergic Doctor but gosh he is a stubborn mule.

    Anyway, so all I have to do is drag his butt to the pharmacy and go to there counter and ask them to give him Claratin D. No prescription needed from the doc etc?

    Wow thanks for all the tips! I have been suffering from allergies for a few years now. For a long time I was taking zyrtec and nasal spray every night, but all of a sudden they stopped working last year. And I started suffering from migraines at the same time. It ended up being a big coincidence, but at first I thought it was a sinus infection. I ran straight to the ENT but my sinus scan came back completely clean and thankfully so did my CT Scan and MRI after I was referred to a neurologist. Basically, the ENT sent me to do allergy test (I am still procrastinating on going back to do part 2) and Neurologist diagnosed me with migraines and stress headaches and tried to drug me up with some anti-depression pill which I was afraid to take. My migraines have gotten a bit better but not the allergies.

    @Teetee I picked up ClaritinD today. So far, no major allergy attacks. Hoping I continue this way!
