Well the hay fever lingers. This year, two people independently recommended a new medication, fexofenadine hydrochloride. Though to be fair to them they both called it Allevia, which is its most popular brand name, and, you’ll admit, easier to say.
I can’t tell whether it’s any good. I only started taking it this week and I’ve had some days of peace and some days of sneezageddon. The weather too has been mixed, ranging between hot-sun-high-winds and occasional-chilly-downpour. The pollen has, in every sense, been all over the place.
What’s more I think I’m heading out of the traditional season. I’m allergic to grass, and so as June ticks by, the particular strains that beat me up every year start to get more settled. I appreciate though that sufferers of tree, bark and fungus might have a different experience.
All these moving parts make it difficult to know whether Allevia will cut the mustard. Will it Allevia or will it Make-a-things-worse-for-ya? I guess I’ll find out next year.
