Your head a splode

So the last couple of weeks ragweed and sagebrush have been pollinating quite heavily. Both of which I'm quite strongly allergic to. I've been having fairly severe allergy problems for about 2 and a half weeks now. This entails going through tissues like mad, an inability to stay properly hydrated as all the fluid runs out my nose, and eating 3500

Yowch... I can't imagine allergies that bad! O.o I hope you feel better soon.

2 hours of napping later and I feel a little more grounded at least. =)

My allergies can get so bad sometimes that the only way I can tell I don't have the flu is that I'm starving all the time. If I've got a cold or the flu, I'm usually not hungry, and it's an effort to get me to eat. If it's allergies, I can't stay full.

And living in a dry climate like Utah makes it so I can't take allergy meds on any sort of consistent basis or I get the worst nosebleeds-- they tend to run for 20 minutes or more-- as the dry air and the antihistamines dry out my nose to the point of cracking. Plus the fact that the dry air seems to make them worse all on their own. Once I get married, we'll be looking for work in a more humid climate, and hopefully getting out of the desert. =)

You could always come here. ;) It's not exactly humid, but it's not a desert either.

I could, but then I'd have to live in California. ;)

I'm washing my sinuses out daily to keep ahead of the ragweed. Nasty weed.
