Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My CVS totally has Allegra. What does it have over Zyrtec?

Much as I was hopeful about the Zyrtec (which I took with a real-sugar Dr. Pepper...which might have made a difference), a few hours later and my throat is hurting again...even after being indoors away from the ugly tree spores. Feh.

For a non-chemical kinda gal, my allopathic drawer is filling right up with the allergy meds. Bah.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Like the mysterious pamabrom in Pamprin. It's some flavor of diuretic, I know.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hot damn, that's good news. Allegra is awesome stuff.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Different antihistamines just work differently. You'd think I, of all people, would know why, but I don't. I just think the different drugs work differently with people's bodies. Same reason different anti-depressants work better or worse for different people.

Allegra always seemed to kick the most ass, though, consistently. And the problem with my health insurance (and most people's, I think) is that as soon as comparable antihistamines such as Claritin were available OTC (comparable in terms of being non-sedating and only needing to be taken once or twice a day), then insurance companies wouldn't allow prescriptions for allergy drugs like Allegra that were still prescription-only when similar ones could be gotten OTC.

Bastards.

I'm sure they did/do the same thing with acid-reducing drugs like Prilosec, etc. (Interestingly, some acid-reducing drugs are also histamine blockers; they just act at a different receptor than allergy drugs do.)

God damn, I am Cliff Clavin sometimes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I keep getting excited about the antihistamine talk until I remember I don't have allergies any more.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Zyrtec always worked much better than Allegra for me. Dunno why.

Heh, that wasn't actually a gloat, as I still have the symptoms. Monday, a CT scan!

My husband, who cannot keep his mouth shut, called me in the middle of the day earlier this week to inform me that his coworker said a CT scan increases your risk of cancer by like 100 times, and had I researched that?

It was not a peaceful day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Zyrtec always worked much better than Allegra for me. Dunno why.

For me, the opposite. Hence the woo.
