[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 522617, member: 1233"] I completely understand how you feel. Lilac does it to me, forsythia to my mom but not as bad. We cannot open windows AT ALL this time of year because thank you and I are SOOO BAD. thank you has it all year though - there is always something causing this for him. We pay extra to the electric co because we will NOT make it hrder for him by keepng the wndows open. We had to buy a battery operated nebulizer when he was little just to let him go to the zoo or a park in the spring, summer and fall. There are a lot of antihistamines that we don't hear/think of because they are older medications. Most are at least somewhat sedating, but they work better for some people. These are not all sold as allergy medications but they DO work as antihistamines. Phenergan (generic is promethazine) is rx'd for nausea but is an antihistamine. It is sold in England as an OTC allergy medication. Meclizne, sold OTV as Bonine or Antivert, is sold as an anti motion sickness/dizziness medication but is an antihistamine. Dramamine is dimenhydrinate, an antihistamne. Some other OTV antihistamines that we don't take as often are chlorpheniramine, sold at chlortrimeton or triaminic orange syrup, and clemastine, sold as Tavist. It can sometimes be tough to find these sold alone, but if you read the ingredients in varous cold/flu/etc... combo medications you can find them. Or you can order them online. thank you didn't react well to the newer allergy medications, so our allergy doctor told us to keep trying the older ones until we found one that worked. Hopefully you can find one that is helpful, Lisa. I have found that if I stay on the allergy medications 24/7 as directed, I have far fewer allergy induced migraines. [/QUOTE]
