I always go to a "We have ways of making you talk. Bring on the Nasalkromm" place with that one.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
NasalCrom is what NoseConan swears by.
The Claritin and Zyrtec both have big DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE DOSE IN A DAY notices in the documentation
Nah, my doctor has told me to take 2 claritin/zyrtec/allegra (basically, whichever one I had on hand) for really bad allergy attacks. You can take 2 a day if you need to.
I've been using Nasalcrom with some success, but that's prevention only, not treatment.
I think Nasacort is meant to be preventive, too, not treatment.
Benadryl is really the only rescue med for a bad allergy attack, isn't it?

Benadryl acts more quickly, but the 2nd- (or is it 3rd?) generation antihistamines (claritin, zyrtec, allegra) are still antihistamines and do work to stop an allergy attack -- just not nearly as quickly as benadryl does.

Oh, excellent news!
Unrelatedly*, earlier I couldn't remember what the name of a vodka + oj was. (I mean, you can call it vodka and oj, but I knew it had an alternate name.) And it got me all worried that my mental acuity is slipping and I need to get tested -- this, despite the fact that I hadn't actually had a vodka + oj in years and years, so why would I remember the name?
After about 2 minutes I remembered it's a screwdriver. So I guess maybe the dementia hasn't set in yet.
*(It's maybe slightly related in that my allergies are driving me nuts, but then I wondered if it's REALLY a cold, and I'm going out to dinner tonight, so I thought, hey, I could order a vodka + oj for the vitamin C...but wait, doesn't that drink have another name? And then the spiral began.)
I could not remember 4 different people's names last night. People who I have not seen on my FB feed in a while and I wanted to check if they were ok or if it was the FB formula at work again. 4 DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I am one step away from needing a helper.
I will have the applications available soon should anyone want to apply. no pay, but room and board could be arranged. Must love animals and a mess.
You can only hold so many things in your head at one time! I'm just glad I got to seem slightly smart to my grandboss today, because over the past couple of weeks, every time I've tried to talk to him, I've been so tired I could barely put a sentence together. And it was obvious.
OK, this is worse than clipping your nails on the subway: [link]
