Interesting!! Where do you find ketofin eye drops? Since I'm kinda managing my own meds right now, maybe it would be worth a shot!! About a year ago I bought Nasalcrom as a way to "try" gastrocom (somebody on autoimmune urticaria forum mentioned using it)  I don't recall exactly how I felt, but I remember not liking the feeling. Wonder if I could do the drops??
Please keep us updated Heather! Have you used them since being home?

I've been using ketotifen eye drops (Alaway) for a while now.  I stopped using Restasis for diagnosed "dry eyes" and I actually find these help my eyes nearly as much, so I'm guessing my eyes weren't so much dry as reacting.

I had the same thought about upping the dosage the way we do with our other antihistamines and my doctor said that I could possibly increase to 3 drops a day, but she'd rather I didn't.  They are different from H1s and H2s, so apparently we can't just use them like candy.    I had so many things to discuss during that visit I didn't ask what the problem with more might be.

Mike: I would avoid vaseline for the nose (I know, I have broken down and used it in the winter too), because it is a petroleum product and you may react to it.  I use Alba's Un-petroleum jelly which is vegetable oil based and very similar to vaseline.

I haven't used the eye drops since I've been home... I haven't needed to  

I bought the drops at Walgreens (store brand).  A few months before my first episode of anaphylaxis... before I knew I had a mast cell disorder... I was diagnosed with dry eyes and given a Rx for Restasis.  It worked great.  In fact, I was able to stop using it after a few months.  Now the only time I use eye drops is when I'm travelling or I'm really dried out in the winter.  I've also used Refresh and TheraTears.  Ketotifen eye drops don't require a Rx and I don't see any harm in experimenting.

@Mike... have you ever tried saline nasal spray?  It works for me.  I use the "Little Noses" spray that I found when my kids were babies.  Cheap and simple... no preservatives.

@Brigitte... the best moisturizers for me are argan oil, shea butter, and coconut oil.  I've also been able to use Eucerin, Aveeno (unscented), "Say Yes to Carrots," and "Say Yes to Cucumbers."  Normal scented products give me dermatitis.
