I am allergic to almost everything (dust, pollen, trees, cats, grass, nickel, latex, and so on and so on and so on...). I control them using Allegra OR Claritin OR Benadryl OR Zyrtec and when I have a particularly bad flare, I take one of the above with a Zantac 75 OR a Zantac 150. The first list are Histamine 1 blockers and Zantac is a Histamine 2 blocker and it puts me in good order. For everyday problems though, one of the 1st list do just fine. I also rinse my nose at least twice a day. I cannot stress how important it is. I originally used a plastic squeezy bottle thingy but now use an electric powered machine. That usually rinses off any allergens that have managed to get in there before they do any damage to my day. Allergies suck but I am learning to live with them. One day I think I will get sick of it all and go for the shots.
