I've had mild allergies to about everything in the air. It made me seem to have a cold all year. I started going to an allergist in Feb 1981, but before that I went to every place else. The doctor tryed dimetap which worked until I stopped taking it. Now I take chloritrimeton(sp?) which is now avaliable over the counter. But expensive compare to what I get it at the allergists. 24 tablets for $3.50 compared to 100 for $5.00. Someone I work with has been going to an allergist for 5+ years and is at a lesser dose then I am. Keep looking for an allergist, there are some really rotten ones and there are some really good ones. Breath Deep, you may be able to smell something. M.J.Hauck

I know most readers probably don't want to hear my two cents worth,
but for those that do here it is. I had minor allergy reactions for
most of my life that centered mostly as a stuffed nose. However about
4 years ago on my path to wellness I overcame this problem and am now
cured, without any treatment or drugs. If anyone is interested in a
more medical reasoning for this let me suggest the book "Body, Mind and
Sugar". I can't remember the author, and it was a borrowed book, but
if you are interested I will try and dig up the name. The book is
written by a medical doctor in 1951. He is 90% the same as any other
medical researcher, he describes killing many animals, and gives
references to many drug therapys. However he differs in that he
prefers a diet approach rather then a medical approach when possible.
His experiments are on hyper-insulinism, a very common problem not
considered important in modern medicine. If any of you are serious
about your allergy problems you might want to read this very
interesting book. If you are interested in this kind of approach be
prepared to give up sugar, caffeine and chocolate. I am cured, my
parents and brothers still spray and sniff all the time.
