I take Allegra, but sometime it just isn’t good enough. I do live in Texas and that might be part of my problem. I think everyone here has allergies. Anyway, do you have any advice for me?

i find that after awhile, i develop a tolerance for any meds, so i have to keep changing them every few months, i am currently using Alerest, its over the counter, non-drowsy, and is working good, also make sure and keep your home as free from dust as you can, and perhaps run a air purifier, dont aim the car air conditioner directly on you or your face, air conditioned air can set off allergies,

I take a product called Claritin-D. You can only get it behind the counter at stores. It is the only medication I use for allergies.
When I do not take it, I just drink a cup of hot green tea to help my sinus. I don’t think it improves it, but it will help your snuffles.

I use Allegra too, but when I take local honey, it seems to help a lot better.
That and using a humidifier when the A/C is on.

When you were in Japan, did you hear of something called “KAMPOYAKU”? In other words, chinese medicine. I used to have TERRIBLE hay fever all through out the year, but it would flare up the worst in Spring. I would take all the prescription meds from Seldane, to Claritine (before it became over the counter). But even with those I would feel like one hard sneeze and all the symptoms would come crashing back on me. Well, to make a long story longer, my wife pushed me to take the KAMPOYAKU and for the first 6 months NOTHING HAPPENED. But I continued faithfully none the less per the recommendation of my wife. After taking the KAMPOYAKU for a year and half, my allergies (hay fever) are, for all intents and purposes, are gone. I do have itchy eyes and a runny nose at least once or twice a year when the pollen count is really high, but the over the counter medicine, now, works wonders and within 10-15 minutes of ingestion. What the KAMPOYAKU does is totally changes the physical constitution to defend against such allergies. I am a true believer now because all the time I was taking the KAMPOYAKU, I was extremely skeptical. I didn’t think it was going to do anything. But it did work.
Good luck to you.

what kind of allergy? i have in my mind right now, but I’m a little afraid to say it here, coz i might incur a violation, so I’d rather not say it…

I think it’s best to ask a doctor about your allergies. He has to assess you first before prescribing remedies.

Looking for the truth said, “kanpoyaku” works wonder( a lot of peoples mention in Japan). I used to live in Kagoshima City and during summer, it really sucked; because ash from Sakuragima(volcano) always fell like a rain. A lot of my classmates had asthma. Anyway, if you find a good one and cure natural way, please let me know. I’m taking Claritin for my seasonal allergies and it’s working so far.
P.S I think you can get “Kanpoyaku” from Chinatown in U.S
( Kan =China, pou =way , yaku= kusuri=medicine)

Go to your doctor and get a prescription for a steroidal nasal spray. Nasonex or Beconase AQ work good for me. They take five days or so to start working.
