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..
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 :)

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