Allergy meds 9 months ago

I’m no where close to getting rid of my allergies, so for now just not having symptoms is good enough.

I had been thinking that my doctors where brushing me off when they said to talk to the pharmasist. But I’m impressed. Reactine(extra strength), OTC works for me. Claritin, allerga and zytex don’t, but this does. It’s awesome.

Maybe I’ll be checking this as a goal completed.



Neti 2 years ago

Got a new neti pot yesterday. For those who have never heard of it Neti is an ancient process of cleaning the nasal passages. Take warm clean (bottled/distilled/boiled) water and add some salt (usually sold in packages with the salt) to make the water resemble the salt content of the body and lean forward over a sink then pour the water through one nostril and let the water flow out through the other.

I am using NasaFlo which is cool cause it has a lid unlike my other neti pot. They (NasaFlo) say it takes 200-240 mili liters (240=8ounces) through each side and more than just the force of gravity (a steady flow not just dripping) to remove the mucus and allergins from the nose effectivly.

I find it a lot better than nasal sprays with their horrid after taste that only try to reduce immflamation as this process removes the allergens and the excess mucus.



Giving up Kleenex 2 years ago

because last weekend my husband noticed all the dust from the kleenex after I sneezed floating in the air. The dust would hang there then I’d inhale it as I started another sneeze and the cycle got worse. So I have hidden all the Kleenex in my house now and am using hankerchiefs instead. It also means less dust in my house. :)
