17.Junim going to enjoy summer after all
Thank God! I’ve found the combination that works for my hayfever.
The key is this new medicine, Levoceterizine. My itchy eyes are not so bad. Some days, I don’t get itchy eyes at all!
However, I was still Darth Vader, breathing through the mouth the whole time. A church member recommended this OTC nasal spray. I said I tried it before as well as most OTC & prescription nasal spray with no joy. But I bought one anyway.
What have I got lose anyway?
One scratch of a miracle… I managed to sleep through the night with clear airways on my first try. The following morning was the first summer morning in many years that I woke up with a clear throat.
Today is only my second day but I am happy and confident now. I need not worry anymore about looking sick during job interviews or being lightheaded at work.
My arsenal is complete with Optrex Eye Spray. It helps soothe my itchy eyes or what threatens to be one. And for shortness of breath or tightening of the chest which instigates coughing I still have Bricanyl from my cancelled hay fever desensitation treatment.
You wouldn’t understand my joy and relief if you haven’t suffered as much as I did or don’t know anyone who did. But oh! The release!! Ahh finally I can live normally.

Ako I’m taking cetirizine naman and it works perfectly. Not sure how the “levo” prefix in your med make a difference…
Di kasi effective sa akin over the counter na anti-histamine. Levocetirizine is newer and stronger than cetirizine, siguro mas mahal din pero di ako sigurado dahil iisa price nang prescription meds dito.
oh man, i feel your pain. i was in that predicament about a month and a half ago. i hate breathing through my nose even when i am eating, kaya often times, i choke and go on a coughing fit, as if i am dying. i tried a lot of stuff. and, so far, i have discovered that \”cell food\” has helped me tremendously.
