Re: Bloodshot Eyes/allergy add-on

[Guest guest]

Yes, thanks about the drops from me, too.  The pollen is driving Garrett nuts,

so I had to suck it up and give him allergy meds, even though he's going to turn

into an oppositional hateful mean little monster with suicidal depression within

a few days.  (Acceptance - that will be my chore next week.  Acceptance! Love

the mean little - uh - anyway .  Mostly kidding - you guys know it's

mostly just sarcasm and venting I hope. Because I hate to see him miserable

like

that too.)  But as soon as whatever is blooming finishes this bloom, we'll stop

and see if he reacts to the next onslaught.  Pray for rain!

I think we need to retry Singulair, even though I've never seen it help before,

so has anyone w/kids who turn into Dr Jekyl on zyrtec or allegra and on even

grumpy on little ol' mild claritin had good allergy benefits w/singulair

alone? 

I couldn't see it help with either kid before, and I couldn't tell if it was

making them irritable at the time either, so I gave it up after a few months

(copays were also too high).

I also don't see Dr G prescribe that much - does he for any of you?  Has he

ever

said why he doesn't use it (if he actually doesn't - I dunno anymore)?  (Dr

it's not that I don't trust you - it's just curiousity about different

opinions - I swear! )

  Thanks!

No I sure haven't (mainly because it always makes me so edgy), but that may be

worth a shot...

Thanks,

We never used antihistamines. Made both of us crazy. Instead we used Opcon

A eye drops and a nasal spray like Beconase, Flonase, Nasalnex etc. They

also help take care of other allergy issues.

We just used it when it was allergy season usually when we remembered to do

it. I'm not organized enough to worry if it was am or pm.

Best,
