Freedom from hayfever.
I assume you don’t suffer from it. Even with the house closed up, the AC on, multiple air purifiers running 24/7, and regular antihistamines it’s still a fucking bitch during pollen season. Hell even adding a Sudafed while venturing outside doesn’t fully negate the effects.
You learn to deal with it, but it’s still sucky.
I used to get bad sinus infections from Sudafed. It took me years to figure it out. Apparently it causes inflammation that was obstructing the natural flow of my sinus passages, and the stagnation resulted in frequent infections. Just sharing in case anyone else is struggling with the same.
There are now exactly 3 antihistamines I recommend, for different reasons…
- Cetirizine Hydrochloride
- Desloratadine
Those 2 are a recent-generation of antihistamines, & both are remarkable compared with the make-you-incompetent-to-fucking-walk-straight antihistmines I grew up with.
- Benadryl
I’ve read that immediately chewing your max-dose of Benadryl can help with things like allergic-reaction to bee-stings, snake-bite, etc, & therefore should be in one’s 1st-aid kit.
Now they’ve got liqui-gels?
Maybe I should fix my 1st-aid kit, then…
Oh, from what I’ve read, the Desloratadine is better than the Loratadine: it has been noted to produce fewer side-effect harms, in studies.
ttbomk, Loratadine requires more biological processing by our bodies, to do its work, so its biochemistry cost is higher, to the one taking it.
I’ve found the generic brands of Cetirizine & Desloratadine work fine, for me.
