I would say that mornings and evenings are our worst times! I used to feel so sick in the morning that I couldn't get out of bed until my husband brought me my Zantac and Allegra to take. Within 10 minutes of taking it, I would feel fine. I no longer have that problem anymore, and I feel great in the mornings now. That, though, is because my symptoms are very well controlled now. I know how to avoid my triggers through avoidcance of foods and lifestyle changes (see the tips on the Start Here section in the forum). That avoidance, plus taking my mmeds regularly at the same time each day make all the difference for me. So, you see there is hope!

In the meantime, as yourself what you are doing the night before that could be affecting you in the morning. Try not to eat after 6:00 pm. Stick with only water after 6:00. Try to get a lot of sleep each night. I am terrible at that one because I like to  stay up late and then have to get up at 6 am to get the kids to school. I feel great during summer, though, because I can sleep until 8 am. Getting that extra 2 hours of sleep is hugely beneficial for me.

So, there are a few tips to get you started. If you aren't keeping a medical and food diary each day, you should start so that you can see when you feel better and when you don't, dependant upon what you did or ate throughout the day.

Thanks for the tips and replies...I am only taking loratadine so far as I am not tolerating the H2's. Hope to add in some more things soon. I am keeping a food and activity journal trying to find some patterns. I will keep trying!!!!

The same here... I am thinking of switching because the Claritin makes me feel super jittery too. It is so difficult when you react to meds. Guess we just keep on trying.
