Hayfever around here in Utah is awful too. I’m used to taking 5 mg of Zytrec a day, but 10 mg is way too much. Plus I am having some sort of allergic reaction/contact dermatitis on my face. Little red bumps that itch like crazy. Went to the dr this morning and he agreed, I’m having an allergic reaction to something. Or perhaps it is contact dermatitis. (At this point, I am almost rolling my eyes at him.) So three days of prednisone, topical hydrocortisone, and 10 mg of Zyrtec daily. If I’m not better, I get to go back. I need to put those little baby socks on my hands so I don’t scratch the itch on my face. LOL.
Oh damn girl that sounds aweful.
I hope they can get the cause of the rash.
I had a very bad spell of this in Sept...so bad I lost a considerable amount of hearing in my right ear..
Did all the routine allergy testing and he concluded it was hayfever.
I guess I could go get something for it but I hate to take meds.
Ooof... I had systemic poison ivy once, and had to do all sorts of stuff like socks on the hands to keep from itching, as well as cortizone or something like that in an attempt to control... Took over two months to finally get rid of it. It affected about 60% of my skin area - Yikes!
(I deserved it... by the way... I had just about rolled in it and dared the nasty stuff to get me... LOL ... it had the last laugh!)
