I am allergic to most tree pollens and grasses and molds. The beconase afforded me a small amount of relief but not worth the large expense ($16/month). The nasalide had a definite side effect. I would get nauseous when I used it and remain so for half and hour after each use. Also the upset got worse with each application. Needless to say, I gave it up. My allergist was very disappointed since he thinks it is a very useful drug. Now I control the hassles of my allergies with shots and anti-histamines (I am on a constant supply of them and so they don't make me sleepy after a few days of taking them). This does not stop the allergies but it does leave me functional. -- Anita Cochran uucp: {noao, ut-sally, ut-ngp}!utastro!anita or seismo!ut-sally!utastro!anita arpa: anita%utastro@UTEXAS.ARPA snail: Astronomy Department The University of Texas at Austin Austin, TX 78712 at&t: (512) 471-4461
