HELP!!! ALLERGIES
Permalink Closed


So I have suffered with increasing allergies since my last year in H.S.  I swear it gets worse year by year and it is completely a year-round thing.  being a sensitive gal from the get go (I was plauged with excema and dermatitis since I was a baby), I keep learning accumulating new issues as I get older.  Asthma, bronchitis, and more and more allergies.  Really can't bear to do the allergen tests. I know I am allergic to shrimp, cats, smoke, and most environmental things I am sure.


Lived on Benedryl and Claritin most days for the past few years.  I think I am becoming IMMUNE to Benedryl and for sure Claritin.  Have tried many brands of allergy medicines but i really wonder what I am putting in my body day after day.  Nothing seems to be a good relief except 2 pills of Benedryl, at which point I am completely in a haze and drowsy.


Anyone have recommendations?  This is affecting my work and regular life.  I'm either miserable or sleepy.  TIA!

maybe switch over to zyrtec.  I always found claritin never worked on me but zyrtec does work just keeps me up all the time but that's just me.

I love Allegra!


Dumb question, but have you seen an allergist to find out exactly what you're allergic to? My dad did that and it helped a lot.
