Richmond is the allergy capital of the known Universe [about 50% of my patients have this, and it always started when they moved here].
As far as side effects go, just make sure you have Heroes on tape. I’m just saying…

TAF, I forgot about that. But it makes no difference. You can see daylight through both of my apartment doors, and there’s no chance of my management company fixing them. I’m thinking of putting something over the outside to cut down on the amount of pollen getting in, but then, pollen’s rather tiny. I suspect it would be a waste of time.

Regardless of what environmental material you are found allergic to, you can pretty much rest assured that Tig and Gracie bring large quantities of it into the house in their fur and leave it right on your bed (where you spend 1/3 of your life).

They might have to become indoor felines.

As for the nose spray, don’t be surprised if you find that it causes nose bleeds (a less desireable symptom than becoming a sex fiend, I think).

Just an FYI, if you get tremendous headaches after a few days on Nasonex, you might suspect the product for causing them. Nasonex caused me to have migraine headaches.

Metro Richmond, like metro DC where I grew up, has swampland, upland meadows, forested areas, and some industry. Hence, you’ve got lots of all sorts of pollen, mold, bug and bird droppings, and airborne effluents. It should be tree pollen season now. In metro NYC, our tree pollen season will probably start next week.

I alternate Zyrtec and Allegra, so I do not develop too much of a tolerance for either one. As far as Nasonex goes, Ms. Yourish, please be careful. Too much Nasonex may turn you into a raving sex fiend (side effect listed on the nth page of the origami folded disclosure insert in type smaller than the legal footnotes). Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Your only real choices for avoiding the allergies are moving to a seashore or moving to a snowbound locale. Good luck.

I take one 4-hour Wal-Mart Equate Clortabs tablet (chlorpheniramine maleate), and it works all day. Also, it doesn’t have any controlled ingredient so I grab it off the shelf and I don’t have to buy it direct from the pharmacist.

How does Antonio Banderas speak? I mean, I do not have any audio associations with Banderas, mainly visual ones: jumping over tables and spearing/shooting all kinds of people
