For month now I had some issues with my eyes watering, my face turning red, my nose sneezing and my ears clogging up; occasionally I get itchy and watery eyes and a sore throat; I never ever had any allergy issues in the ohh 30+ years of my life and I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me or what would cause it. I cleaned the house with Lysol, I washed my hands all the time yet my eyes kept getting worse and itching to a point where I was unable to walk out of the house without sunglasses; my eyes where so sensitive and my nose was in soo much pain.
I had tried all kind of over the counter medication, you know the 24/h kind, the generic kind and nothing seems to work. I just knew I had to have some other issue, maybe .. just maybe I was allergiced to my kids? My dogs… housework.. that’s it, it had to be the housework, right? I even stayed away from the kids for a day… NO change, stayed away from the pets for a few days… still no change.. WELL then I told hubby housework is my trigger, I couldn’t do it for a week… well.. it was a nice try… nope that wasn’t it either :0(…
I finally made an appointment with a Doctor, to see what I can do to get a little relief from the watery eyes, the red eyes, the red nose and oh that sneezing. I’m sure she had the answer for me to get me back to a perfectly normal life…..
To my surprise she told me to take AllegraOTC, I looked at her with a strange, kind of “You got to be kidding me” look and told her that I had tried just about every product on the market, something else must have been wrong with me. She told me to take it for 10 days and if I won’t be any better to call her back and we will take some more steps and maybe do some testing, but she wanted me to at least give AllegraOTC a try since I had never used it before.
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try another OTC Allergy medication, so I gave it a few days to think about; I found out that AllegraOTC is for indoor and outdoor Allergies and will give relief for Sneezing, Runny nose, Itchy, Watery Eyes, Itchy Nose and Throat. Well, this summed up all of my symptoms and while I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for the Teen to get out of class, I had another sneezing attack….
As I sat there sneezing and runny nose and all, I somehow ended up with the current CVS ad in my hand and slowly my eyes crawled over to the Allergy medication page and I found AllegraOTC on sale…. Was this my clue?? I knew there was also a coupon in one of the Sunday papers, so what would I have to loose? I’m so over the suffering.. off to CVS I went.. Coupon in hand and big hopes for brighter days ahead……
While I was at CVS, I actually found the AllegraOTC 30 count for only $17.99 *with your CVS card*, the sticker said price cut throughout May. So this deal has gotten even better for me, with the coupon I was able to grab a 30 day supply for only $12.99; this was so worth it to give AllegraOTC a try. While I was at CVS I decided to pick up some new makeup and facial cleanser, I wanted to get my face all cleaned and “brighter” if this AllegraOTC will work; a girl has to be beautiful, right….. I spend less than $17 (I did have $3 in CVS cash from a prior purchase) on a few items of Makeup and AllegraOTC, so not even $20 for this “makeover” experience. Not bad at all. Let’s hope that it will work and give me somewhat of a relief.
So, I followed my Dr.’s order and took AllegraOTC for a few days to see if it would make a difference in my crazy Mommy life….. and BOY am I surprised; this “little” pill, one a day, first thing in the morning, sure keeps me going. I haven’t had any sneezing attacks or watery eyes at all in the 5 days since I’ve started using AllegraOTC… I’m also having fun putting makeup on.. without it running off my eyes or running down my face…. check out the difference….
I feel amazing; non drowsy, just full of energy and couldn’t be more happier. I can’t believe that something simple like AllegraOTC was able to clear up whatever Allergy I had. Why didn’t I take AllegraOTC much sooner? I could have been happy and bouncy all along instead of droopy, sneeze and just down right miserable. Well live and learn and then take AllegraOTC and enjoy life!!
