MY NOSE KNOWS!

Allergy insanity, already? Perhaps somebody should have warned me about this fifteenth day of March. "Beware the ides of March, dear Super, your head may rupture. Get thee to the apothecary, petition for Zyrtec!"

I've written about it before... Claritin is a joke. "Claritin Clear" my ass - OF COURSE YOU'RE CLEAR, THE PILLS ARE MADE OF SUGAR. Zyrtec is the only thing that works to fight super allergies and at $50 smackers (that I just don't have), I am left with a headache lasting 3 days. Claritin ends up being just as expensive, but the crap couldn't prevent an allergy attack in Antarctica. The difference is you can buy Claritin a few pills at a time which is a little more reasonable for my pocketbook.

"Oops, I dropped my cape!" The normal solution is to bend over and retrieve it. However, without Zyrtec, bending over results in blinding pain right behind my eyes. I see dead people. And those people are the insurance assholes who tell me Claritin is an over-the-counter alternative to Zyrtec.

That's like trying to buy a porche and being told, "Here ya' go! This lovely 1983 Oldsmobile Firenza is fabulous. You'll never know the difference!"

Super, I feel your pain. I too am having the worst headaches from my allergies. I wouldnt wish it on anyone and still at the same time I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one going through this. My kids and even my dog are having a time with it. If you find any affordable solutions please let me know.
