The ONLY allergy medicine that gives me any relief is Benadryl…name or store brand. I’ve tried almost every over the counter allergy medicine available and it’s no dice. We have a dog and a cat and I’m not allergic to either, it’s pollen 100 percent. Some days are better than others; some days I’m sneezing, swollen, face is red etc. other days not even a sniffle. I’ll never understand it. At night my nose straight up closes up and I wake up snoring, dry mouth from not being able to breathe through nose, waking my wife up snoring. It’s so tiring but I don’t have medical insurance so I’m copping the best I can. I’m legit on my third dose of Benadryl and real Sudafed today hoping I can fall asleep soon.
