Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi everyone, My name is Alexis and I'm 22/female. I have allergies/asthma, which are only helped (so far) by the medical world with benadryl - but the problem is that it knocks me out, so during the day I'm stuck suffering. Well, I guess the allergies themselves arent the problem, it's this stinkin post-nasal drip! When my allergies (or a cold) pop up, I get this constant throat tickle that never ceases! I've used two boxes of tissues in the past two days!!!! Constantly gagging and spitting up mucous is not fun. And I always lose my voice with this cough. I can't sleep at night, unless I OD on benadryl. Which knocks me out so long I cant get up before 2 in the afternoon! Ugh, I'm at my wits end here! I need some sort of help! Oh, and I do have a sinucleanse system, which is saltwater in a small little teapot type thing - and it does help but only for a few minutes. So unless I did it constantly, it's not much help. I also have severe GERD (which complicates the asthma) and if there is anything I can do about that, I'd like to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Have you tried nettles? Also to dry up the mucous I use Mullein tea.
