Allergy-Ville: The Saga Continues

Many people in the valley are complaining about this allergy season. I have lots of company. It's the worst one I've ever seen in the valley--and it's escalating. I now have a sinus infection in addition to vertigo. Miserable does not really describe this new kind of ugly.  

After 2 days of feeling pretty good, I was thinking that I had finally "nailed" the allergies to the wall, but  yesterday rolled around. It was the worst. I told folks I was going to see the docs at Urgent Care on Monday, but I felt great. No reason to see someone if you feel good. Tuesday was another story. I saw the doc at urgent care. He was very sympathetic. He implied my head was a like a sponge filled with bad sinus-juju.

He looked and poked and prodded and came up with a list of stuff for me to do. I think I came away with 4 new medications and a strict time-table to follow. Some meds I take 4 times a day, some twice, some once. I'm supposed to drink lots and lots of water and if I can get all the nasty allergy-gods to align forces, I'll get better. 

Send me good vibes. I'm laying low, away from the great outdoors and all the pollen. I'm really trying not to be cranky and rude but it's hard. I want to lash out at that invisible something that is bringing this on. It's a good time to paint some rocks -- I can't hurt their feelings. Remember, we're all in this together.
