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.
What's clowing ?
Or maybe an R is missing, for racket in the trees.

The cottonwood has been BLOWING. My bad.
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. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
