Yes, I'm also a big fan of the cortisone nasal sprays. I've used beconase
and flonase in the past and they are totally effective with absolutely zero
side effects. No contest compared to the usual over the counter
antihistamines and decongestants.

We have one here called flixonase - it's a twice a day nasel spray
that takes a few days to become effective - in my case it was 100%
effective - and I get hayfever pretty bad (I can soak 5 hankies in an
hour! - sorry to be gross!)

On Sunday we spent all day outside, getting the pool ready at the
inn. It
is
shaded by giant river birch trees, which -- at this time of year --
are shedding lots of little flakes of pollen (?).

I'm apparently violently allergic to this tree pollen. My eyes
swelled shut, and stayed that way for a couple of days. Allegra, my
usual FAA-approved medicine (which I use for late-summer hay fever),
didn't
help.

Can anyone recommend any other FAA-approved allergy medicines?
