That's the one you have to ask for back at the pharmacy counter. It's the only one I've found that doesn't make me jittery or give me medicine-head.

Zyrtec-D - sm

It's the only one on the market that covers both indoor and outdoor allergens - and I have tried all of them, prescription and non. It comes in 12 or 24-hour coverage. Takes care of the itchy, watery eyes, head heaviness like a hangover, drainage down the back of the throat (I know, gross lol) runny nose but not enough to blow haha, but does not cause jitteriness or any other of "those" symptoms - no drowsiness either! I am allergic to the dander of one of my dogs and it's the ONLY one on the market that enables me to keep him :) I live in Vegas and if this med works here, it'll work anywhere LOL!

Hope this helps!

How long does it take to kick in? nm - I will try it - Thanks!

Insurance Companies Do HEDIS This Time Of YearNov 20, 2015
If you are burned out on transcription and want to not sure what to do, this is the time of year when all of the insurance companies start hiring temps to do their annual HEDIS projects.  The projects last 5-6 months and pay well.  Call your local temp agencies and ask about them.  I went from transcriptionist to working on one HEDIS project in 2014, did odd jobs til the 2015 project started, was on unemployment for a few months for the first time in my life and then got hired on ...

Home Temps And What Do You Wear Around The House This Time Of Year?Jan 21, 2016
The thread about winter storm prep made me wonder what temperatures people keep their homes? What temp is your thermostat set (when you are home) during the winter?

Sinus/Allergy IssuesApr 27, 2014
Has anyone ever heard of this happening?  I have never, ever had any type of issues with sinus problems or allergy problems.  Back in October, I got sick and was living in a house with probably some mold and other allergens.  I got extremely sick and stayed that way for a couple of months.  Since then I have had a stuffy nose, unable to smell, limited taste and a stopped up ear, so that has been SEVEN months now!  I don't have insurance, so the only doctor I can aff ...

See the article below for average costs of all (normal) methods of birth control. The figures on the left side of the ranges are what insured people pay now, the ones on the right the uninsured item cost what many, many more will pay if Romney is elected (assuming the drug companies don' ...

First Time Ever (long-time Voter) Had This ProblemFeb 16, 2016
Every one of them has serious flaws, either of character, personality, world view, experience, or philosophy - and in most cases more than one of these - that I simply cannot stomach. In my experience, it's always a choice between the lesser of two evils, but this election cycle seems to have brought out a spectacularly miserable collection of candidates.  And yes, Sanders and Trump supporters, I mean them too - or perhaps especially them too. It looks like I'll be sitting on my ...

New Year's EveJan 01, 2011
Another year has come and gone.  We ended up going to the movies to see the Little Fockers.  It was pretty funny.  We went to the grocery store beforehand to pick up some snacks for today and then grabbed dinner at a fast food place the kids picked. Overall, it was a pretty good evening.  I went to bed about 11:30 (I tried but could not stay awake), but the kids stayed up till a little after 12 with DH.  After that, they went off to bed.  I'm actually looking ...

New Year's Traditions? Dec 26, 2013
Anyone have any specific traditions they do New Year's Eve or NY Day? Both of those days vary for us as we've gotten older. NY Eve we USED to do it up big, get all duded up, go to a banquet hall, dance, ring in the New Year with Champagne, leave after midnight. These days, we just go out for a quiet dinner with friends, or do a little thing at someone's house. Staying up until after midnight is optional for us these days, but we've been doing pretty good ringing it in. ...

How Is It Possible That A 76-year-old WomanFeb 13, 2014
Yeah, it's my mother. Maybe that says it all. She has told me she wishes she could change how she and my father parented my brothers and me when we were growing up. In the 60s and 70s nobody really thought about how to parent. They just did it, good and bad, so I'm dealing with the fallout of their choices just like every other person alive.  I think we've had the normal ups and downs, although my mother has been and continues to be a very critical, judgmental person, not jus ...
