Re: Allergies
Well I'm on day two of meds and I'm pleasantly surprised. No more constant sneezing and runny nose. Sometimes my nose gets a bit scratchy still but never to the point of sneezing. It's amazing how productive I can be when I'm not constantly blowing my nose.

[expletive] hell. I haven't had to deal with these allergies since I was in high school. St Louis sucks.

I posted it on the previous page of this thread a couple years ago - still taking daily cheap generic OTC Zyrtec. I bought a giant bottle of 400 a couple months ago from Sam's Club for $19.99. I don't think I've ever bought the actual name-brand Zyrtec, just the cheap generic equivalent.
However my body is totally dependent on it at this point - if I don't take it in the morning, by early- to mid-afternoon I'm sneezing a lot and I can start to feel my sinuses acting up.
But as long as I continue to take it, I never have any problems. I've been on it probably 10 years at this point (my estimate on the previous page was off).

Re: Allergies
Bought some Flonase on Friday near before golf and it's been a huge improvement over Clariton/Zyrtec. I'm usually a sneezing/sniffing/eye-itching mess by the turn, but made it through 54 holes this weekend without any (allergy) issues.
