Advice Needed - Hay Fever, Beconase & TED

[Guest guest]

Hi Ron,

Beconase isn't as anthihistamine. It's a steroid, and it may also help your

eye disease. I use beconase aqueous nasal spray year round. Unlike

antihistamines, though, beconase takes a few days to work.

Most people in my area (CO) are having more severe allergic symptoms than

they've had in years. I do best when I take stinging nettles herbal capsules

and also quercetin with bromelain. This is Dr. Weil's formula to neutralize

allergens and it works.

With GD, you want to keep allergies in control, and many of the newer

products do not have cardiac effects. You have to watch for meds that raise

bp and pulse, for instance, pseudoephedrine, chlorpheneramine, etc.

Ask your doctor for some samples of the newer drugs like Allegra to try to

keep symptoms in line until the beconase kicks in, Elaine

I need some advice. I'm suffering from seasonal hay fever

symptoms...including very inflamed eyes. I also have Graves

eye disease (TED).

**I want to take Beconase (a strong Antihistamine that has

worked well for me for allergies & hay fever years ago).

**Is this " appropriate " for someone like myself who has

TED...on and off symptoms of eye bulging, inflammed eyes,

eyelids that don't close 100% at night, & cross eyed just

slightly.

I seem to remember readsing " avoid antihistamines " . But if

taking one helped get rid of the allergy/hay fever...would

not that be a good thing, so that my eyes could then feel

better?

Any advice is most appreciated. Thank you!

Best to everyone,

Ron

If the box says not to take with thyroid problems then don't take it. Taking

a cold medicine is how I discovered I had thyroid problems - I thought I was

going to have a heart attack.

Flaxseed oil will help your eyes and there are alternative treatments that

will get rid of your seasonal allergies for good - check out:

Take care, hope you are feeling better soon.
