dudette, you can buy allergy testing kits from some pharmacies...
I do not know if they are of any great value though....teh RAST test is not "fault free" either..


Pam M, I am so sorry for you ... my husband tends to use different antihistamines, cetirizine is good (Zirtek is the branded product)

Another eye drop that is popular is nedocromil (generic name), works like Opticrom (sodium cromoglycate) to prevent the allergic reaction... one has to use it for a while before it is effective.

Try Livostin or Otrivin Antistin if your eyes itch madly!!

Thanks a lot Joan - you have been really helpful :thumbs:
