Write this down and then ask your doctor.....QNASL.... I went through the battery of tests....allergic to tree pollen, dogs (have two), cats (satan's spawn), ragweed, and some other crap I can't remember. Spring and fall were miserable to the point of my eyes swelling shut after a lovely spring ride. I was given the choice of shots for the rest of my life, some accelerated shot deal, or this nasil mist. Chose the QNASL mist. You don't suck it in like a line of coke, just spray it and it does the job each morning. It isn't cheap....like $80/month, but I was given a coupon for $50 lifetime/month (my insurance sucks, ymmv). I swear baby Jesus makes this stuff himself. 100% cured. I feel like I haven't really even had a cold since I started it two years ago. QNASL FTW!! Edit: no side effects...no drowsy, no accelerated heart rate, no nose bleeds....
