Pros: No side effects, easy to use, very effective
Cons: None
A year or so ago I developed a raging allergy - to what I'm still not sure. It seemed to go pretty much throughout the year, winter and summer. My nose was stuffed up and runny, my eyes were watery and red, I was sneezing constantly, my sinuses were...
Pros: Works well and consistently, no side effects, better pricing than most RX copays Cons: 3-6x daily dosing to start (may be able to reduce after few weeks)
I suffer from year-round allergies...dust, pollen, mold, if it's small and granular, odds are it'll get me all sniffly and stuffed up. Year after year I've bounced through prescriptions and OTCs, without finding one that would work consistently. For ...
Pros: This stuff WORKS, with no side effects or addictions. Cons: Stings a little in your sinus at first. Not enough to complain about.
Let me just start off by saying I've never had a real problem with hay fever. A couple years ago, I evidently started. With a bang. I thought I had the flu. Turned out it was hay fever. Then, on year, I starting having problems. Bad problems. I'm ...
Pros: It seriously works!! Cons: None that I can think of.
I have had serious allergies to everything outside for as long as I can remember. I would get so bad that I would have to go for a Cortisone injection just to get by. Last year I did the prescription nose spray thing combined with Claritin. I did okay ...
Pros: Awesome, simple, no side effects, not a "drug" Cons: Start up period, but only a minor hassle.
For a long time allergy sufferer, this really is a magic bullet and I have now used it for about 3 years. Before that, Ie had spring and other allergies since I was a kid, often so severe that I have had green goop pouring out of my eyes and sticking ...
Pros: It works! Have not experienced side effects. Cons: The cost - yet still less than other allergy medications.
Because others have written so much about Nasalcrom, what it is and how to use it, which I appreciate, I won't to into all the details. I can only tell you that it works for me - two years now - and my daughter. I start using it in early spring when I ...
Cromolyn Sodium (NasalCrom) is a lifesaver by houstonkaren ,Feb 01 '07
Pros: I call NasalCrom, "Saran wrap" for the nose. It's a lot safer than cortisone. Cons: I hate being dependent on any product. Price and supply can be difficult.
I suffer acute allergies and one of the only ways I can stay well is to prevent the spiral down by using products like NasalCrom. Recently, two of my closest stores no longer carry it, and I am frantic. Right now, my nostril linings feel like I've been breathing something caustic - it's a burning sensation. I could usually stop this immediately by using NasalCrom, but need to find another store. I am worried that it's being pulled from the market, thus the reason for me to find this site.
Finally, something that WORKS for me by laguna47 ,Jun 30 '07
Pros: Over the counter, less expensive than flonase Cons: None
After 3 sinus surgeries, Allegra, Claritin, Flonase, Nasocort, nothing worked, constant rhinitis and anosmia. Still have no smell or taste but the constant dripping and congestion were relieved by Nasalcrom where the others did not work.
Pros: Easy to use. NO side effects. Works great! Cons: None.
Come late August, through late September, I used to want to rip my eyes out, they itched so bad. I would have sneezing fits out of the blue; meaning sneezing 8-10 times in a row, nonstop. I tried over-the-counter allergy medcations, with little help. Then my doctor recommended NasalCrom. It only took a couple of days to take effect, and I can't believe the difference! Occasionally, I feel like I want to sneeze, but can usually stop it. I feel some itchyness in my eyes, but no more than if I have some sleep in my eyes in the morning. It's as if I don't have allergies anymore!
Why don't they advertise this stuff more? I just found Target is not carrying it anymore. This is SO much better than anything else!
