Allergens

Every couple of years I might get something that resembles a sort of flu.  With aches and exhaustion.  Every once in a long while I get some sort of stomach thing (the most spectacular of which was at least seven years ago, and found me ejecting simultaneously from both ends of the alimentary canal).  Sometimes I feel kinda run down, or I have ( Read more... )

I hope you feel better soon too, pal. You wouldn't believe it. Naah, you would. This very morning ... what you said.

Me, the worst is this godawful drip thing, it is so disgusting, catarrh. Threw up for about an hour. Fun! Intermittent eye-burn deal, like you've said. Like a poison gas attack.

Maybe there's some other-ragweed they haven't ID'd yet that gets us? Like the whole immune system goes nuts? I know the brain-scrambling thing, I'm so sorry. Like all the goddamned symptoms are swiping the energy you need to think straight. I'm gonna see if they've improved on nasal steroid sprays. I sure hear ya.

I outed myself on catarrh! ARGH. Qatar! I meant Qatar!

Forgot to say I do know one thing does help with the rhino gunk: drinking. NOT an April Fool's joke. The dehydration part. Or, Putting a Slight Hangover To Work For You.

Drinking. Alcohol. If I'm miserable with allergies screw it I'm going to get drunk- the dehydration DOES help with stuff. Weirdly.

Have you gone and got an allergy test? It's pure hell but considering where we live is like #5 of worst Environmental Allergens in the US it might be worth it.

Like my misery is that sometime somewhere in Kansas there is Russian Thistle and it flowers and its pollen goes into the air and I am thereafter fucked hard and badly by the little bastard. Then there's assorted other weeds, trees, dust, etc.

Getting allergy shots is helping out with it, for me anyway. Results might vary.

Flonase. It's gone generic, too. Dude it's just about cured me.
