Who else is getting their ass kicked by allergies

[zoidberg]

right now?

I slept straight through my run alarm this morning and didn't wake up until H's alarm went off an hour later.

I feel all thick and mucus-y and itchy.

[kams]

Oh my gaaaaaaaaaah we are living the same life! I missed swim (6-7) this morning because I groggily woke up when H's 7:00 alarm went off. WTF?!

[zoidberg]

Yeah, and I was so tired that I thought it was my alarm. And I stared at the clock forever trying to figure out why it would say 6:00 when it should be 5:00. lol

[trigal]

I'm feeling it! Then again, I always seem to be feeling it.

[kams]

I'm serious Zoid, we are on the same wavelength today.

Sniffle strong, baby.

[zoidberg]

I am going to lift at least, but I imagine it is going to be pitiful.

I need to start prepping now to wake up tomorrow because our group run starts at 6am over by the Bosque. I do not want to sleep through that and get stuck doing 11 miles by myself when it is hot out.

[taratru]

Me! And why?!? It's way too early for this.

[al320]

And weirdly so. My allergies usually just result in sinus congestion.but the last few days ive been sneezy and drippy. And not really congested, if that makes sense.

Something is blooming.

[zoidberg]

I read that it is going to be a bad ragweed season this year. That is normally what gets me in late summer.

And here in NM we have had such a wet July that I am sure all kinds of stuff is flinging pollen out there.

[taratru]

Greaaaaaat. Ragweed is my kryptonite.

[wambam]

My nose has been out of control and even bleeding. So yeah, it blows.

Mine have been rough this week, by mid-afternoon my throat is scratchy and my eyes are watery.

[pixy0stix]

I'm heading there. I switched to the decongestant version of my meds to try to head it off.

[thom]

Unfortunately I can add my name to this list. Ugh. I was sneezing just out if control yesterday while moving around straw bales. Hope all of you can find some relief. I'm on Alegra (generic) and it helps.

[Raggedeannie]

Is this what is happening with me? Sleeping through alarms, too, and have woken up a few days with bloodshot eyes. A little phlegmy and coughing today.

[katandkevin]

I am guessing this is my problem too. My sinus' are full of nasty snot every morning. I hate allergies.

[biomaj5]

I have never had allergies as bad as I've had them this summer. NEVER. Last night was horrid because I forgot to take the second claritin of the day. I still feel like crap today. I might have to move up to stronger drugs. I actually broke out in hives last night-that's a first. Usually it sticks to my head region-itchy eyes & nose, snot, sinus pressure, etc.

Me too.  I take a claritin or allegra every and have spent the past week on prescription steroid eye drops to get my eyes to stop swelling from allergies :-(

[libbygrl109]

So far I'm doing OK, but I think it's because I have been neurotic about taking my meds this summer. I'm sure by mid-September I won't be able to go anywhere without a box of tissues and allergy eye drops.

[raynes]

I've had a few bad days, but nothing tooooo terrible. I so so so so wanted to take a Benadryl the other day because I literally had watersnot dripping out of my nose, but I'm sort still BFing (just once a day) and reallllly don't want to dry myself up. So I suffered. This is why we but Puff's Plus at Costco.

[mrsmc08]

I broke down and took some meds last night. I hate taking them and swear never again after. This morning I walked into a bench...
