Oh, that’s right. I don’t like spring
Today my skull feels like something is trying to be born out of it, like Jim Carey coming out of that rhino’s ass in Pet Detective 2. The cough has started to get that greenish, bronchial infection tinge to it, and I can taste the pollen in my mouth every time I hack. I’m achey and tired, and my house looks like I have hoarding problems, because I haven’t kept up on my daily de-clutter for two full weeks. Chris is sick, Lila’s starting to cough and sneeze all day, and Tyler, well, he’s just kind of tired and lazy. We all feel like we’ve been hit by a truck.
Happy spring from your walking pollen filter…
"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."

You and me both. I don’t officially have “allergies” but I am miserable in spring with sinus headaches. Ugh. At least its nice out…

Spring just makes me sleepy. I just want to sleep. From the time the pollen perks up until, well, fall.

Try Nasalcrom - its over the counter and its DOESN’T work through your bloodstream (NOT a steroid). It builds up a protective barrier inside your nose so the pollen can’t affect it. I had problems until I discovered this stuff. Its very expensive - around $14 for a 200 skirt bottle but for me it works (you have to use 1 skirt in each nostril f3 to 4 times a day). It takes a few days for it to work and the best thing to do is start before you have problems but it seems to eventually work even if you are already in the thick of things. My husbands ear nose and throat doctor put my husband on it. I also like it because it doesn’t have a bunch of side effects because its not going into your bloodstream. The only thing you have to lose is the price of the medicine, give it a try. Also, I discovered that once I do have the green goo, a product (also expensive) called Sinofresh helps me to clear it up. Its actually an antiseptic based on the theory that people actually have mold living in their nose and need to kill it…I read it in a newspaper article. I’m not sure if I had mold in my nose, but I keep a bottle and use it as soon as I think a problem is developing. It seems to kill whatevers bothering me!

Its still early - that was supposed to be “squirt” not “skirt”. If you do decide to use it, be patient because it may take awhile if you are already having problems because of the pollen. I’m lucky because I start getting headaches before I get green goo then I can start up the Nasalcrom.

I’m sorry to hear you’re under the weather.
Hope you feel better soon.
*Hugs*

Dude, that sounds like our house! Only I’m the only sick one (for once). Plus, with pinkeye! Wheeeee! Feel better. xoxo

I’m right there with you except I am 34 weeks pregnant too. I have asthma and bronchitis is a norm for me during the change of seasons, but you know what, I will never get used to it. I absolutely hate feeling this way. Thank medicine for Mucinex DM and antibiotics. Feel better.

Bummer about the allergies. Hope they clear up for you soon.
(That fricken’ rhino’s ass scene scarred me for life!)
I had the same evil headache this morning, but it was completely self-induced. That’s what I get for mixing beer, wine and tequila. It sounded like a good idea at the time…but no. I was wrong.
