Help! I need a MRI, and it can't be done as scheduled since I'm having frequent bouts of sneezing from tree pollen and mold.

Grass pollen season starts soon, too. South suburbs of Chicago.

I have a lot of allergies, including lactose and other inactive ingredients, some active ingredients in medicines, gluten intolerance, etc.

Any suggestions, anyone? I take dye-free Benadryl, and/or custom-compounded Loratidine (Claritin generic). Regular Claritin/generics have lactose.

Problems with Zyrtec ingredients, can't tolerate Allegra or its generic (makes me dizzy).

I also use Similisan homeopathic nasal spray, since I can't tolerate Zicam nasal gels or NasalCrom.

Whole-house HEPA filter on furnace, Enviracare HEPA air purifier unit in bedroom, and windows are closed.

Any ideas, anyone? Natural/alternative, over-the-counter, prescription products that may clear this up? What do you find effective? Thank you.

I have a lot of allergies, including lactose and other inactive ingredients, some active ingredients in medicines, gluten intolerance, etc.

Have you tried Nasacort AQ? That may be something you can't tolerate also, but it has helped me quite a big. I'm also trying BAX 3000 therapy, which I've posted about before, but I've only had one treatment so far as my family got sick and I haven't been able to go back. I should be getting my second treatment this Thursday so I can let you know how it goes. You can read about it at www.biovedawellness.com. There are a log of testimonials and news videos about it on their site. I figured I might as well try something different to see if I can get more relief. Good luck!

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for this. I appreciate the reminder. It's hard to know where to find good solid honest information in the world of the Internet. I like knowing that I can come here and trust what I read.

Thank you Steve!
I want to add a couple of words about the HON Foundation. It was founded in 1995 under the auspices of the Geneva Ministry of Health and based in Geneva, Switzerland. This came about following the gathering of 60 of the world's foremost experts on telemedicine to discuss the growing concerns over the unequal quality of online health information. The unanimous conclusion of this gathering was to create a permanent body that would, in the words of the program, "promote the effective and reliable use of the new technologies for telemedicine in healthcare around the world." The HON Foundation became one of the first organizations to guide both lay users and medical professionals to reliable sources of health information in cyberspace.
The mission of the foundation is to guide the growing community of healthcare consumers and providers on the World Wide Web to sound, reliable medical information and expertise. In this way, HON seeks to contribute to improved health care through patient empowerment and better informed health professionals.
Best regards and good health to the readers!

Great ideas, thank you for sharing!

Pollen and Mold account records in accordance to tell the National Allergy Bureau NAB names. The account specified for the number of grains of pollen or mold spores per cubic meter.

I hadn't heard about HON before. I'll be sure to look for it when browsing health sites. With so many sites, it's difficult to know who to trust.

This is a big honor to be HON compliant. It's hard to know who to trust on the internet, especially when it comes to medical advice.

Ugh. It's that time of year again. I love NC and the people but I hate pine trees so bad. All they do is spray a film of pollen over cars and drip sap on my windows. Break out the claritin. I get hay fever every yellow season.

Thanks for share this excellent information with us i’ll never forget this type of information and tells others about it! Thanks once again

Thank for sharing this. I haven’t heard about Health On the Net Foundation as well. The world of internet is indeed huge and there are a lot of false information out there. If you’re looking for health information you better keep your eyes open for the HONcode. At least it’s good to know that the Pollen Blog is certified by the organization HON.

Patient education is widely regarded as an essential component of chronic disease care and effective health promotion. Internet is extremely useful medium in this respect. Web-based information is seldom the subject of systematic investigation for its accuracy and appropriateness for patients.
