My eyes hurt. They've been tearing for a few days now, maybe longer. Getting allergies in Finland already? Nooooooo!

    i've tried all kinds of things back in texas, those that worked just put me to sleep (i guess that's how they work). i think only Zyrtec was remotely helpful. Nasal sprays helped occasionally. as for eye drops, forget about it, they just won't land in my eyes and end up irritating them more.

    Oh O, Is there a chance for you to see a doctor and get some medication. I hope that they are not too serious, and u can see Harrison Ford clearly without any distraction. Hugs to you

    Not too serious for now, although these past few days i feel like i'm in a perpetual dream. Could be the allergies messing up my senses, lack of sleep (only 2-3 hrs each of the past few nights), or stuff on my mind which doesn't help the insomnia problem..

    We can check eye-drops or something else receipt-free for you - to survive the flights.

    Hey Carol, take care of your eyes and health. And do get some good rest coz u need the energy to go back to Dallas :)

    Sorry about your allergies, Carol. :( You can buy prescription-free cetirizine in packs of 30 x 10mg nowadays for ~€10. I prefer the Zyrtec 'clone' by Ratiopharm.

    Thanks everyone for your concern and especially to Jukka for the eyedrops. They seem to help briefly but wore off after a while. How often should i apply them? i might try Zyrtec as well since that used to work for me. Just didn't think I'd battle allergies again so soon :P

    @cybette: I think max. 2 times a day, couple of drops each time. Just go and get some Zyrtec/Heinix/Cetirizin and try if that helps. If not, it's something else :)
