Allergies...

So, I've been having some issues with allergies--mostly congestion--lately. As in, there are days I can't breathe through my nose type allergies. Since I didn't have as many allergy issues in Utah, I'm guessing it may be mold. Ah, the joys of humidity.

So, I talked to my doctor about it when I had my annual physical this last week. She gave me a prescription for Allegra-D (which has no generic), but the insurance won't cover the prescription and it would cost me over $140 for 30 pills. Insane. So, I tried Claritin-D (the generic version of it, at least) which is supposed to be similar in the way it works. I haven't noticed much of a difference. I guess my nose is a little less stuffy and a little more runny, but I don't know.

So, I guess I'm going to have to contact the doctor again and try to figure out what I should do next. I'm really tired of being stuffy all the time--and it makes people think I'm sick, which I'm not. (I've had it for about a month--no cold lasts that long!)
