Allergies


You may have noticed I have not posted anything this week since Monday. I have allergies, and this is my absolute worst time of year. It seems I'm allergic to those locust trees that are blooming, and besides the usual nasal congestion, I also get chest congestion, chills, and generally feel like I've been run over by a truck. I used to think this was a viral infection, but after several years of the same symptons, I finally realized that I get this every spring when the locusts bloom. With a known history of allergies, it seems obvious: I'm allergic to the locust trees! (I also have other tree and grass allergies, but this one seems to be the worst by far)
I called my doctor yesterday for a cortisone inhaler, due to my lungs feeling so raw inside.
Hopefully this will soon be over.
