I'm getting old. I've succumbed to yet another sign that the years are adding up on my poor body. I tolerate all my joints cracking and popping whenever I move. I've come to terms with the fine lines and slight drooping of my face. This, by far, is the worst. I've developed allergies. I think I started showing symptoms last fall.. I was in denial. There is no denying it now. The burning, itching, watering eyes. The runny yet amazingly still stuffed up nose (I still haven't figured out how it can be both at the same time). And, oh yes, the sneezing. It totally sucks. I called my father and thanked him profusely for passing this genetic trait on to me. He was very gracious and accepted my thanks with glee.
I am taking advantage of this new development and am turning it into a medical research experiment. I've tried Allegra (well the generic form, but it is all the same..) It eased the eye irritations but that is about it. I have switched to Claritin and that seems to be a miricle drug so far. I only have to blow my nose about a thousand times during the day instead of the usual gazillion. Please tell me there is an end. There must be an end. AARRGHHH!!!!
At least I don't have any gray hair... Yet.......
Poor Baby! I feel your pain - Love, Dad
