Good comparisons, thanks Gloria.

I'm still figuring out which one I should use if any. I've tried Nasal Crom, Allegra, Zyrtec, and Claritin but don't know if they're working. I seem to have never-ending sinus congestion and eye pain but my nasal passages are clear. Interestingly enough, I took a Histame without eating food of any sort last night because I couldn't stand the puffy feeling anymore and it seemed to help some.

Thanks Gloria,

That's good information to have.

Do you have to be a consumer reports subscriber to view the pdf? I couldn't get it to open and tried copy past and it still came up with nothing??

I'm not a member, and it opened fine for me. I just now tried it again, to check the status, and it opened OK.

I use the latest version of Firefox. You may have to allow scripts to persuade your browser to open it.

A lot of companies/organizations do server maintenance on weekends, and that can cause the problem.

I had the same problem. Like Tex, I assumed that they were doing maintenance. These reports (there are others in the series) are supposed to be free to non-subscribers.
