Nasal Allergies … and throat, and eyes, and…ugh

Flowers are pretty, but the pollen makes my nasal allergies go nuts!

YESTERDAY

So, I think spring has officially arrived, as have my nasal allergies.

Yup, always sick.  I told you. I’m not making this up.  It’s always something.

I’m just now getting over that cold I caught last week, and now I’m having allergy symptoms. It’s not just nasal allergies, either.  It’s the roof of my mouth, my throat, my ears and my eyes.

My eyes…that hasn’t happened in a long time.  I have dry, itchy eyes.  Sometimes, my eyes start burning.  They burn every morning.

It’s just irritating. It’s not miserable, but it’s wearing me out and getting on my nerves.

I haven’t taken any Nasonex in awhile because I’ve been so congested, so I took it today in the hopes that it would help.  I also took a Benadryl.  It seems to have helped a bit, but I still feel all icky.

I’m done with spring now.  My nasal allergies want it to be summer now.  No more crazy pollen, please!

TODAY

I feel worse than I did yesterday.  I woke up this morning with my eyes burning and red.  My eyes were so red and puffy, I looked like a stoner.  It is simply horrible.  I have taken all of my medication, and then some, but I’m still not feeling well.  I also have the occasional sneezing fit followed by me literally blowing through half a box of tissues.

Gross.

Thankfully, my husband is here to walk our son to school today.  I don’t know that I could handle a walk through all of those trees and bushes and pollen galore.  I think I would require my inhaler after that.

As it is, I’m sending my husband to the store for more Benadryl and some Visine-A Eye Drops.  I will probably pop a Quercetin as well and see if that helps and maybe use my neti pot if I can stand it.  Maybe I’ll just stick with my saline nasal spray or a nice hot shower.

Nasal Allergies Suck!  Pollen Allergies Suck!  Allergies, in general, SUCK!
