I Love You Claritin!

Picture this…a woman with a pocket full of kleenex, sneezing up a storm and coughing sidles up to the Pharmacy counter. Now she is not sick, she just has allergies. The woman coughs again, sneezes three times, before talking to the Pharmacist.

“Never had allergies like this before. I need help! What can I take that has almost no side effects, but will help me?”

She checked my medications and then said “Claritin” Just regular plain Claritin. So I bought a box to try and I hoped and prayed that it would work.

It’s been funny this year. My allergies have never been like this. Oh a little coughing and sneezing, but not like this!

How many of you suffer from seasonal allergies? I have had a little, but this year it is BIG. I can now appreciate when people have complained about their allergies.

My brother in-law especially, has had severe allergies all his life. He doesn’t complain about them much, but I have known him since I was 8 years old, I can safely say, I would recognize his sneeze anywhere!

About 2 hours after I took my very first Claritin, I noticed that my sinuses were drying up. The sneezing had been reduced, and my eyes weren’t watering as much. And last night, I actually was able to lie down in bed and I could breath!

This morning, I feel normal. No sneezing, coughing or watery eyes. I don’t feel run down or like I am on the verge of an allergic breakdown! LOL!

Now I was not paid for my opinion about Claritin. I never believed that these wonderful allergy medications actually worked, but I was desperate! Now, you can call me  a grateful user.

One thought on “I Love You Claritin!”

  1. I think I read somewhere that the older that we get (and thus our immune systems weaker), the more susceptible we are.
    I usually have allergy attacks after a rain following a long dry spell, almost like my body misses the allergens that the rain has washed away.
