Re: Help! I'm being attacked by allergies!!

March 30, 2003

I've tried them all- prescription and OTC and none seem to eliminate

the symptoms but I refuse to have shots so I put up with some

symptoms. I found that for me none of the once or twice a day stuff

works at all with the exception of the stuff that you squirt up your

nose- both OTC and Rx work well. I'm currently taking an OTC every 4

hours pill and it helps cut down on the amount of tissues that I use

and stops the eye and ear itch. I have found that I need to switch

kinds/brands/ingredients about every 6-8 months. I think that my

body just adapts to each one for a while and it ceases working. Hope

this helps.
