So what did you end up taking for your allergies? So far I've tried Zyrtec, Claritin, and Benadryl. Flonase for my nasal passages, which I stopped as it seems it was making things worse. I upped my Neti pot up to twice a day. I like the Claritin best as it doesn't make me groggy and doesn't interact with any of my other meds. The Neti pot is great but I don't know how many times a day I can use it. I do have Zantac and thought of that as well as that is a histamine blocker but I'm not sure if it would be anymore effective than the Claritin.
BTW - I tried the shots before and stopped as I was working and it was taking up a lot of time. I went 3 times a week, 4 different shots per time and then you have to sit there for 1/2 hour afterward. That 1 hour lunch went by fast!
I know that eventually it would have dropped down to 2 times a week and then once a week, etc. but I didn't have the nicest boss at the time and when she wanted me there, she wanted me there even if it meant cancelling my appointment and/or taking a different lunch time.
