That time of the year

Since Wendesday of last week, I've been sneezing near-continually, and dripping when not sneezing. And this is *with* the Claritin-D running thickly thru my veins.

You may want to see if you can get something like Nasonex prescribed. For me, at least, it's rather more effective than Claritin (that is, loratidine) and shares the lack of side effects.

I'll have to look into it. Loratadine is MUCH more effective for me than chlorpheniramine was back when it was the best out there. Is Nasonex (mometasone) something that my normal general practitioner can prescribe me, or would I need to go to an allergist? I've never actually had allergy testing done; I'm curious about it, but it's a pain to find an allergist.

I had it prescribed by an allergy specialist, but I don't know if your GP could prescribe it or not. I would assume so.
