Drat - can't get at the archives. I know we just discussed Claritin and
antihistimines and decongestants, but that was before pollen season hit and
I really needed it.
I've never taken anything for my seasonal allergies for fear of side effects
that would get in the way of my singing. But this tree pollen season is
incapacitating me. I even took Sudafed for the first time (I'm a drug phobe)
for relief. It did allow me to sing, cleared up my nose, stopped the cough
and only seems to make me annoyingly happy (according to my husband). But I
don't know what course to pursue from there. My doctor prescribed Claritin
and I thought I might try it when I don't have to sing - the last time I
took it, it dried me out to a crackly crunch within 3 days, so I
discontinued it. Should I just keep taking Sudafed through May?
I can't recall the doctors' suggestions other than to avoid antihistamines.
If anyone kept any of those posts regarding allergy remedies for singers,
I'd be grateful if you'd re-post them.
Thanks!
Laura
