I use them for hay fever with good results, but not for anything else x

i use them for prickly heat it works for that but i dont think it helps anything else.

I don't understand the question. Do you mean in general, or, in respect of fibro?

I take betahistine for my chronic vertigo. It is also an antihistamine so I dont get reactions to bug bites hayfever etc, but I think thats just a nice side effect.

It does help alot with the dizzyness. xx

Hello

I work in a prison as a nurse I also have fm, the doctors in the

prison prescribe night nurse which is a type of antihistamine

they do this because its better than sleeping tablets not so

addictive, I myself have taken Night Nurse and its not bad

you do get some sleep with it, I expect that it could be like

most things that once you get used to it, maybe it will not

be so good, but I recomment it I find it works and I keep a

a bottle in the cuboard. But saying that when our brain become

awake at night nothing makes you sleep not even strong sleeping

tablets such a strange thing fribro.

I dont think antihistamine would work for anything else that we have

unless you have itchy skin or sneeze alot or have a runny nose

it would not help at all with pain. I hope this helps a bit

keep well viv

Hi.I take NeoClarytin for my allergies(dust,dust mites, grass, trees, pollen,feathers)It is the only one that works for me.I have to take it every day,all year round. * BTW...Twiglet...You have my sympathy for your Vertigo.I had it full on for 5 days in 2010.Couldnt move a muscle or Id be whizzing round the room,while being still.What a HORRIBLE experience. Id rather have all my teeth pulled without anaesthetic, than have that again.I get little episodes now and then.Feels like a wavey sort of feeling. Hope you all have a good weekend.x
