My son has the normal allergies like pollen ragweed and dust, he now takes singular for it and he used to take zyrtek, so far so good with the sigular. I used to take allergra, but found it didn't work as well as zyrtek did for my allergies. I haven't tried singular, but I am sure it's helping my son because he's not nearly as congested as he was before starting on singular recently.
![]() PS. Thanks for this new forum! Glad to be the first one to post a thread here. LOL! ![]() Forgot to mention he has autism and seizure disorder along with his normal allergies. ![]() |

Hi Pamster
my son has shown noticeable seasonal allergies for the first time this year with our drought here in Central Florida and lots of pollen everywhere His doc has prescribed Flonase and zyrtec, but the insurance wont cover the z so Doc said to get Claritin. However my son is very reluctant to use them and is trying acupuncture and Bach's Flower remedy which seem to be helping some My son has Tourette Syndrome and Crohn's Disease I have dustmite allergy and some other sensitivities but so far my saline spray seems to work ok for me, along with Bach's Remedy

Zyrtec is what I take; my doctor had Rx'd Claritin in the past (a number of years ago) but it wasn't nearly as effective - for me -as the Zyrtec.
I hadn't heard of Singular, yet I will ask my doctor about it. If it won't conflict with my heart probs. or medication, I wouldn't mind trying it - to find out if it might work even better than the Zyrtec.

the saline nasal spray comes ready prepared and available at all drugstores, health stores and even some supermarkets......or one can make it at home (i have a recipe somewhere from my dad, who always used it for his sinuses instead of prescription ones) it really clears that dry stuffy nose feeling too The Bach's Remedy is available at health stores....there are a range of them for different needs. we always have Bach's Rescue Remedy, made from extracted flower essences available....not only good with allergy etc but UNSURPASSED in its ability to bring instant calm to anyone having anxiety, panic, stress etc ![]()

That sounds like something that might be good to have on hand, I will have to check out the local health food store, thanks for the recommendation.
![]() I'll also check into the saline spray my husband couuld use that instead of the other nasay spray that he uses and he would probably feel a lot better from it. Thanks again Chemar! I think this forum is a great addition to Neurtalk. ![]() |
