I fear that anything I say today will just be negative. My allergies have been killing me for over a week (last week when I thought I was getting a cold it was probably just these allergies. I don't even want to go into how disgusting I feel. I'm taking 24-hour allergy pills, blowing my nose like crazy, doing the Neti-Pot at night. It doesn't end. I can't breathe well and have little energy for working out. I'm trying so hard not to overeat (although the cravings are driving me nuts).
If I eat junk I'll have even less energy, so I don't want to go there. I am seeing a new doctor in two weeks; maybe she'll have some answers (oh, yeah, they switched insurance on us again at work and this time my doctor's not on the list. It's so hard, usually, to find a good new doctor. My co-worker recommended hers, and she WAS taking new patients, so I made an appointment. Crossing my fingers.
I still haven't figured out the LAST insurance plan they changed on us, last year, and how we're supposed to use the eye and dental coverage. I know exactly what they're doing. They're making it confusing so people like me won't go get their teeth taken care of. Okay, maybe it's not THAT confusing, but I definitely was having trouble finding my dentist on the coverage list and I didn't know what I'd be paying. I have to get some idea of that before I schedule an appointment.
Today I got to work from home, which was nice because at least part of the time my black and white cat was on my lap. They are a distraction, though. And food is a distraction. It's like the kitchen is calling me even though we have no junk in the house.
Anyway. I have an appointment with my shrink tonight. Maybe she can give me some advice on elevating my mood. Oh, and I'll probably walk after I see her, which always feels good.
I can't even talk about the scene right now. My head is so far away from there...

Maybe it's time to start allergy shots? I know the zeal of the converted is tedious, but thanks to my allergy dr, I went from feeling as you do while taking twice the prescribed meds and sheltering in AC, to spending the spring outdoors, sneezing once or twice - the whole season. Of course, everyone's different, but FWIW.
Is it possible you have a sinus infection? At the FMS party I started into what I believed was bad allergies....got worse and worse....ended up being sinus infection. Ick. Antibiotics and Mucines-D cleared it right up! (well, not right up.....took a couple weeks before all the gross gunk was totally gone, but it got better and better!)
Hope you feel better.

I'm going to ask all these questions when I go to the doctor! I'm not opposed to allergy shots, but oddly, when I was tested a few years ago, they found I wasn't allergic to the things I thought I was (my cats, pollen, etc.) They claimed the only thing I was allergic to was dust mites. I have had my doubts about that diagnosis ever since... I am PROBABLY allergic to pollen to some degree, and I have had pretty severe reactions after being at some friends' houses where there were dogs (combining dogs and cigarette smoke in one case; that was a toss-up). Oh, well. Enough about my stuffy head.
My allergy symptoms are worse too - and when the barometric pressure changes as it has been doing, I have more problems. I had the shots (my results showed I'd become highly allergic to all the tree/grass/weed pollens, cats, dogs, molds, etc - but white sycamore trees, dust mites, and cockroaches are ok LOL!) - so few sinus infections or hive outbreaks anymore, but I still have sneezes and stuffy nose issues. But I'm wondering about the sinus infection issue right now. Bleah for sure! I'm sorry you are suffering too. -Dolly
Dolly, they seem to be improving slightly. I've been using the Netipot saline rinse all this week. It's a pain in the butt but it definitely helps. Taking Benadryl at night was making me feel really groggy the next day even if I took the pill early. So I stopped doing that and won't use it unless I really really need it.
