Tina, Keith was taking Zyrtec (2 x a day), Cyproheptadine (another anti-histamine. 2 x a day), Singulair, Rhinocort Nasal Spray (2 x day), Pulmicort Turbohaler (2 x a day) and then had Albuteral for when things were really bad.

Now we're down to just Zyrtec once a day and Singulair, plus a nasal spray (of the steroid variety) and an inhaler (also steroid). He can't take oral steroids because of an allergic reaction, but the nasal and inhaled kinds are ok. Just not as powerful. And of course, we keep Albuteral both in the inhaler and also for his machine on hand. Plus, of course, he also takes Adderall for his ADHD.

So I get it - I know what you're going thru!! Not fun, is it? I'll pray for yours, you pray for mine

Tina, I am so sorry Michael is having to go through all of this. I know what you mean by wishing you could suffer rather than him. It is so hard to see our children go through things.

I have very minor allergey problems only a few times of the year and bought the generic of Zytrec to try and it is amazing for me. It is the only allegey medicene I have ever taken that does not make me drowsey and for my limited symptomns it works great.
