Can someone recommend a good allergy medication (or alternatives) that won't make you sleepy??? *desperate plea*

Ja, that's a good idea, Michel. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with medications out there. Medication that claim they don't put you to zzzz-land usually put me out for the rest of the day. I'm just that sensitive.

What are you allergic to, Lise ?  There are lots of homeopathic things that could work.  My daughter was allergic to cut grass and clover.  After we tried all kinds of nonsense, which I didn't feel comfortable with, we tried alfalfa tablets and tea with small 'doses' of honey from the clover that she was allergic to.  Never had a problem again....ever.  We only did it for the one season.

I'm a huge fan of the nasal rinse- neti pot or a sinus irrigation bottle.  The NeilMed brand is avail in almost every drug store and grocery store now.

  By prescription, I use flonase- corticosteroid nasal spray for allergies.  It's excellent.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm allergic to but when it gets dry, I get attacks on sneezes and my eyes water like there's no tomorrow. I think it's the pollen in the air though I'm not sure about this.

  Hmmm..... those ideas sound like they might be worth pursuing. I'll definitely try them. Thanks!

It's a bad week for the allergies.

Out here, the cottonwood has been clowing all week.  Looks like it's snowing outside.

Or maybe an R is missing, for racket in the trees.

The cottonwood has been BLOWING.  My bad.

P.C.

Rats.  That was my next guess.

  I wasn't even being a smart ass.  I was wondering if clowing was some botanical term for a process that cottonwoods go through.  I even googled it.   ok...I guess in that case... I WAS being a smart ass.
