You are not lying!I can't even wear my contacts right now because my eyes are so dry. No amount of drops are helping and I don't like them being suctioned to my eye. Other than my eyes, I am feeling good thanks to Allegra and Flonase.

1,000 votes in agreement - no make that a million - no make it a billion
$100 per month after insurance just to breathe
think of what I could do with $1200 per year, $2400 after 2 years - $3600 after 3 years - now that would be one sweet bike !
Oh well - cough, cough, achooooo!
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

Yup, insurance can suck too! Last year I had to wait three weeks for approval on my Allegra-D prescription. My insurance wanted me to try Claritin before they would approve the presciption. I HAD tried Claritin because OTC is so much easier than needing a RX. I was fortunate my doctor gave me a supply of samples until she could convince my insurance I needed the presciption.

Amen on the allergies suck, I could be more colorful, but this is a PG forum.
That's funny about the Allegra, because MY insurance wanted me to take that instead of Zyrtec. Zytec is $50 a month- and that way I can breathe, most of the time and not have asthma attacks- most of the time . . .
Sorry about the dry eyes too- I guess we're just
oppposites- cause my eyes just water constantly.Last edited by Hub; 09-14-2006 at 07:13 AM.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

A few years back I got allergy shots in June, one a week for four weeks. Insurance covered it, and I had no allergies the rest of the summer. And, the next summer they weren't as bad. I can't remember the name of the drug though. Initially the swelling in the arm where I got the shot wasn't fun, but the long term relief was beyond worth while. I'm definately going to look into next year.
