That doesn't sound good, Steph. Neither does West Nile!
I have switched from claritin to Allegra for the allergies, and it does seem to be helping-- but most of my problem is skin, not sinus, so maybe that is why?
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

You can take histamine 2 blockers meant for heartburn/GERD along WITH Allegra/Claritin/etc., because they actually are helpful for skin manifestations of allergic reactions.
The histamine 2 blockers are Tagamet (cimetidine), Pepcid (famotidine), Axid (nizatidine), and Zantac (ranitidine).

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

These are the only ones that work for my heartburn, the PPI antacids make it worse, somehow. Good to know they might help my skin reactions too.
What I need is an antihistamine that doesn't make me sleepy and dull, but still works.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So in an ongoing quest to figure out this woman's name, I thought maybe it's Ripsi, and now I think she may actually be the Ripsi who was on Bad Girls Club??? [link] Or they are related and/or it's just an Armenian "type." Anyway, at least now I know her name.

I didn't click on the link, but that is awesome.

That would change my life significantly. Probably revolutionize the world.
Way to go, Jesse!
I can actually decide what to do next, work-wise. Weird. I don't expect it to last long.

I take my Claritin/Allegra/whatever at bedtime. They generally work for 24 hours, but their initial sleepifying effect doesn't bother me the next day.

Ooops. I didn't mean that Allegra *doesn't* work for skin reactions; just that if someone needed extra help, the H2 blockers can help.

My sense of smell came back last night as suddenly as it left. I stood inhaling Vick's Vaporub marveling at the mentholness of it until I started feeling like an idiot. Then I spent the rest of the night coughing.

I thought she was going for "this means wore!" but no.
