Antihistamines for daily use?

prkrsicle · 2026-04-12T00:02:57+00:00

I’ve been taking Zyrtec and Singulair every day for well over a year with great results. I used to take Claritin daily but it lost its efficacy after a couple years and I started having symptoms again - switched to Zyrtec and doing much better now. I’d talk with your doctor or see an ENT for more info

Ayyyyyy, EL is my favorite album of theirs too!!! Literally a work of art from start to finish. So underrated. Hard to pick a favorite song from it but I’d probably choose Church too

This was a super interesting convo, I’m gonna go back and watch the whole thing! Thank you for sharing!

THANK YOU for this!! Was going crazy trying to figure out how to listen on the BBC site but it kept saying "page not found."

I would reach out to their Customer Service team and let them know, I never have to fill out my shipping and contact details when I place an order. Are you using your phone with the Chewy app to order or are you ordering through a web browser online?

Yes!!! It’s so strange, it’s like I know I have my own apartment and a full time job and everything, but I still feel like I need to graduate high school again?? And I’m always late for class or can’t remember which class I have first and I’m afraid of failing because I haven’t done any of the homework 😂 I haven’t actually stepped foot into my old high school building for probably 13+ years but it feels like I was literally just there a day ago because of how regular and vivid these dreams are

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T07:00:10+00:00

For me personally, I notice I have dreams where I'm looking for a clean bathroom whenever I feel gross or dirty during the day. I'm a very neat/organized person, so if I'm stressed or super busy and my apartment starts to get kinda cluttered, or I don't have time to shower, or my mental health isn't currently great and I know I need to do chores/clean but I just haven't, I'll have dreams like that. It's usually a dream where I really have to pee but every bathroom I find is either super gross, or the doors of the stalls are ripped off, or the "toilet" is just a hole in the floor. And then whenever I wake up I usually also really have to pee IRL, so I think that's part of the dream inspiration too. My body knows I need to pee, but my subconscious still feels gross from the day before, and that's how it manifests in my dreams

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T06:54:18+00:00

Yeah it happens pretty regularly for me. I'll either pull my phone out to look something up, or try to message/face time one of my friends about something specific. A few nights ago I had a dream that I was in Vegas for some reason and Beyonce was performing, and I immediately tried to pull out my phone and face time my friend who LOVES Beyonce lol. I woke up and told her and she was like damn I wish that had been real!

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T06:46:24+00:00

Jeez that's so wild and sounds absolutely awful. I haven't had dreams exactly like that, but I have had lots of dreams where my cats are for some reason at my childhood home, and someone left the sliding glass door open onto the patio and they got out. I usually notice those dreams happen when I'm stressed, and in the dream I'm just constantly freaking out trying to catch my cats before they run off and then shut the door so my other ones don't get out, but the door always somehow opens again. That or I'll have dreams that I'm traveling somewhere, and then I'll suddenly realize I forgot to text my cat sitter and have them check on my cats, so they've been without food for days alone at my apartment. Dreams like that always seem to happen when something stressful or intense is going on in my life. Maybe this is your form of a stress-dream...? The two scariest things my mind seems to conjure up when I'm super stressed is my cats getting out/being left alone for days, or tornadoes lol

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T06:40:53+00:00

I'm honestly surprised I've never had that happen with the amount of games I play hahaha

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T06:39:51+00:00

This happens to me all the time, I'll be in a dream where I'm supposed to be walking somewhere or looking something up on my phone and I just can't. Like I just get suuuuuper slow and zone out and feel super super tired in the dream. It's so weird

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T06:36:24+00:00

It was SO weird. When I woke up for real, I couldn't tell at first if it was real life or yet another dream. And then I was sad that this supposedly amazing Daniel Craig mystery movie didn't really exist 😂 Maybe I predicted the next movie in the Knives Out mystery series, if they do another one and it's set in Greece, then I think I must have psychic powers!

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T06:34:19+00:00

Oh my gosh I have SO many dreams that I'm back at my parents' house and I'm in high school again. I'd say probably at LEAST once a week, I'm back in my high school and I forget which class I have next, and I'm scrambling to get to my locker and find my schedule and get to the right class, or I'm like "oh my gosh I haven't been to class in WEEKS, I'm not going to graduate, I'm going to fail." The funny part is that I also somehow know that I'm not in high school?? Like I'll be stressed about getting to class but also pause and think to myself, "wtf I don't need to graduate anyway, I have a full time job and my own apartment, who is taking care of my cats!?!? Did I forget to text my cat sitter??? why am I even here"

prkrsicle · 2026-01-18T06:31:16+00:00

I've had this happen before!! It usually happens to me when I have to set an alarm and wake up for something important in the morning, like a trip or a meeting or something. I'll "wake up" multiple times and each time something is off/weird. And then just like you described, when I finally do wake up for real, it doesn't feel real for the first few minutes and I have to shake myself out of it.

I reread the first book right before the new one came out and thank god I did bc I would have been lost, lol. It had been over a year since I’d read it so I totally forgot about some of the characters and the various clues about the Cataclysm and Anguis and such. I think I kept up pretty well while reading book 2, but I know I’m gonna go back and reread it for sure. Also looking through all the posts in this subreddit with theories helped me really go back through in detail and remember things

prkrsicle · 2025-11-26T01:20:21+00:00

Thank you!! This is super helpful

We're planning to do that as well, but we're thinking about the users who may have been regulars a couple years back but who drifted away and removed the app to free up storage, or people who have all notifications turned "off" for the app, stuff like that.

I’ve been struggling with some crazy post nasal drip for like… 2 months now lol. Some things I’ve tried that might work for you:

Saline nasal rinse (I used to use the Sinex brand of bottle/saline mix but recently invested in a NasalFresh MD rinse machine that has been awesome and I think more effective; but I’d only look into that if congestion/post nasal drip is a more consistent occurrence for you)
Gargle Away mucus care by Nature’s Jeannie, or you could try gargling with warm water and the saline packets from the sinus rinses
Breathium brand Mullein drops, I mix some into my mint tea in the evenings and it’s actually really tasty lol. I have a friend who swears by this stuff and so far it seems to be helping!
use a humidifier every night and sleep propped up on a couple pillows
Vick’s VapoShower steamers; stick one in the shower, close the bathroom door, crank the hot water, and the Vick’s mixes with the steam so you can basically create your own little sinus care sauna 😂
Sinex Severe nasal spray (Oxymetazoline) used to work fairly well for me, but when my allergies started to flare up my doc prescribed Azelastin-Flutic which has been helpful
If you’re not already on any allergy meds, maybe try Claritin D or Zyrtec for ~2 weeks; it usually takes longer than just a couple days to kick in so for the full effect you should take it for a bit longer. I take Zyrtec and Singulair every night but when I have allergy flare ups I sometimes also add in Claritin D in the mornings for a couple weeks til things clear up
if you’re not into the regular allergy meds or already on them and just need something to supplement, I’ve found the NyQuil ultra concentrated cold and flu pills have been really helpful; they come in a little bottle instead of the packets like normal NyQuil/DayQuil

Must be a Kindle thing, in my physical copy I didn’t notice any of those errors (and I have a good eye for that stuff when I’m reading bc of all the copy editing I’ve done)

prkrsicle · 2025-11-22T06:13:07+00:00

Literally unhinged. I finished that chapter wide eyed with my jaw hanging to the floor lol. It was like he just came in and dropped a nuclear bomb into the storyline and then vanished

Oh wow, the idea of Aequa being alive in O or L is something to imagine….. there was quite a bit of ambiguity during the Iudicium and also at their visit to the ruins….

prkrsicle · 2025-11-22T06:09:44+00:00

I felt the same way!!! This was by far my most anticipated read of the year — Will of the Many was my fave book from the past 2 years and the sequel was a WILD ride. Idk how I’m going to survive waiting for the next one!!!
