Whoever first recommended "Flonase" has earned themselves a FREE night in
one of our aviation theme suites!\

I don't think I was first, but I did rebutt some of the nay-sayers, about
some of the characteristics, and advantages. I won't be in Iowa for some
time, so you can buy me a beer, instead. (when I bring the MOAG to OSH)

We were outside, in the hot, dusty wind, on the edge of a thousand square
miles
of hay and corn fields, from 7 AM until 5 PM both days.

As always, I packed an array of handkerchiefs, prepared to sneeze for the
duration. Before leaving home, however, I took a couple of shots of
Mary's
Flonase up each nostril, and popped my usual Allegra.

...And *nothing* happened. I didn't sneeze, my eyes didn't water, and I
never ONCE took my hanky out of my pocket, in two days. I took a second
Allegra in mid-afternoon, and a second shot of Flonase around lunch time,
and had absolutely NO allergy symptoms.

Flonase rocks! Thanks again!

You are lucky, if it worked that fast for you. For most, maximum effect
only takes place after about two weeks. I think you will find it gets even
better at that time. Also, two squirts up each side, once per day is all
that I am prescribed. You may want to check with your doctor about doing it
twice per day.

Well, I suppose it's possible that I experienced a placebo effect.

It's unlikely, though, since I NEVER expect ANY medication to work, after 40
years of failure.

Whatever the case, it's the first time in my memory that I could spend so
much time out in the country, in summer, without sneezing.
