Default Allergies

OK I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS WHEN THE SEASON STARTED MY ALLERGIES WERE BOTHERING ME WHERE I HAD TO GET A PRESCRIPTION OF ZOLOFT FROM THE DOC. I THINK I ONLY USED IT MAYBE 2X BECAUSE AS THE SEASON PROGRESSED MY ALLERGIES WERE NOT REALLY BOTHERING ME ANYMORE. NOW ITS THE END OF THE SEASON AND THEY ARE BACK FULL FORCE.

WHY WOULD THEY ONLY BOTHER ME AT THE BEGINING AND THE END OF THE SEASON ONLY. I NOTICED THIS LAST YR ALSO. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD BOTHER ME IN THE BEGINING OF THE SEASON BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEW POLLEN BUT WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON FOR THE END OF THE SEASON. HMMMMMMM

ALSO, I KEEP LOOKING AT THE BOTTLE OF ALLERGY PILLS SO TEMPTED TO TAKE IT BUT I REALLY DONT WANT TO. GUESS IM JUST NERVOUS IF THE PILLS WOULD AFFECT ME STRONGER THAN WHEN I WAS PRE-OP. MY DOC DID SAY IT WAS OK TO TAKE BY THE WAY. BUT IM STILL TRYING TO PUT IT OFF

HOW DO YOU GUYS REACT TO MEDS POST-OP

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

well i know with allergies it depend on what types of spores etc. so maybe that has something to do with it?
everything seems to work faster but not as long. tylenol. for example, gets to my headaches quicker than it used to but only lasts about 3 hours or so.....could be just me.

anything liquid tends to work as soon as i swallow it lol! i am exaggerating but liquids work a heck of alot quicker than pills for me.

happy sneezing!

Hey Boots good question. I never even thought twice about it. My allergies have been killing me the past week or two. I just automatically took one of my Clairtins. Never thought about it. God I hope its ok. Very good question.
Around here in upstate NY its the ragweed right now that is bothering me and my kids.

I was told I could take medicines on the list and if it was capsules open them and put them in a liquid. Not to take capsules shole. Other than that if they are too big I cut them in half. I really don't take anythng except extra strength tylenol liquid now. But the capsules were for an ear infection I had. Mattie
