Allergies and flying...

I have year-round allergies and have been MOST pleased with Flonase (and
it's okay with FAA). I'm always clear (nasal passages) which I never
totally received from Allegra and its' 'clones'. You do have to remember to
use it everyday during the pollen season.

On Sunday we spent all day outside, getting the pool ready at the inn. It
is
shaded by giant river birch trees, which -- at this time of year -- are
shedding lots of little flakes of pollen (?).

I'm apparently violently allergic to this tree pollen. My eyes swelled
shut, and stayed that way for a couple of days. Allegra, my usual
FAA-approved medicine (which I use for late-summer hay fever), didn't
help.

Can anyone recommend any other FAA-approved allergy medicines?
