Well, I've been taking Zyrtec, Singular, Flonase, and medicated eye drops PLUS an albuterol inhaler everyday and it is NOT helping. I've been okay yesterday and today cause it's been raining but Tuesday night I went out for ice cream with some friends from church and I was rubbing my eyes so much. I eventually just put my head down and said "Someone please end my misery!!!" The next morning I couldn't even touch my eyes because they were so raw from me rubbing them. The other day I was in tears cause they were driving me so insane... all I had done was stepped outside for about 5 minutes and that was it.

I called my insurance and asked how much they covered of the shots and they cover the shots 100%, which is great BUT I need to pay a copay of $25 every time I go, which adds up quickly. In one month I'd be spending anywhere from $100-$200 depending on how often I have to have them done, not to mention the time spent driving to the doctor's office PLUS the gas to get there. I'm going to see if they'll let me take the medicine home and get my mom to do it... she draws blood for a living and injects her self several times a day with insulin and other diabetes meds, so she knows how to do it. That would be the cheapest option and I trust my mom doing it more than a stranger. I have my next appointment in a month, so I've still got some time to decide.
