Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 he'll start me on singulair. I know I won't need that Kathy - My doc started me on singulair and its really helped me. I'm like you, my allergies have worked my asthma into a frenzy in this overabundance of pollen we're having this spring. I was using my inhaler two times a day and needing more some days, plus being on Zyrtec-D. Up and down all night coughing. Yep, I agree with the more pills, but I can sleep now.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Well, I'm on Serevent and Flovent on a regular basis, so once the Pred gets me back to my normal I should be able to manage without the constant additional use of my Albuterol. For my Nasal stuff the only thing I've ever found that helps is the Benadryl. And I only need that for a short while spring and fall. Kathy RE: My trip-part two he'll start me on singulair.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 For my Nasal stuff the only thing I've ever found that helps is the Benadryl. For some weird reason I can't take benadryl anymore. I tried one earlier this year, my doc suggested it, and I broke out in huge hives all over. Even when I touched my skin it did it, and it made me super sensitive to what foods I ate and what I was exposed to. Sure scared me, needless to say I didn't take another one. I have allergies all year round, anything that grows, bannanas, soaps, cleaning stuff, anything that smells, etc. It seems to get worse the older I get, although it hasn't been as bad since we moved to NE Oklahoma, it was really bad in Texas. My sister has allergies worse than I do, she has asthma also. My son is also allergic to bannanas, they make our mouths burn and the skin peel instantly. Not a pleasant feeling. is allergic to amoxicillon, so he can't use any kind of "cillin" meds, and I'm allergic to vicodin. Ezcema, psorasis (sp?) and other skin conditions, we've all got them. I love being outdoors but sometimes I just can't. sniff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 It was wonderful! Wish I'd realized there was a show on. They'll most likely play it again, though.
