Blasted Allergies. . .



As pretty as Spring and Summer can be, and as much as I love the popcorn trees....
I dread allergies!
Today I had an allergy attack...the worst one of the year by far.
It seems like every year my allergies continue to get worse and worse.
Lucky for guys they can get a quick shot that soothes the symptoms.
On the other hand, girls who plan to get pregnant in the future are 
recommended to not get the shot. boo hoo hoo.
Zyrtec, you just aren't doing anything for me!
Allegra, you did nothing either.
Zicam helps out with the itchy nose, but I always feel awkward sniffing it
up my nose in public....so I usually just save that medication for home.
Lately I have been running outside since it's been great weather
and haven't had a terrible time with allergies up until today.
Half way through my run...I felt my throat swelling up.
My eyes were watering uncontrollably. I'm sure it looked like
to everyone else around me that I was bawling! 
My nose was itching terribly -- I was constantly nudging it.
I think I sneezed more than I thought was possible.
By the time I got home my throat, ears, nose, and eyes
were not happy with me.
I ran my face under cold water and drank as much water as I could.
Still did not make it all the way better.
I might have to think twice before I go running outside again with the high pollen count.
On a non-related allergy note.....the 4TH OF JULY is coming up!!
And I couldn't be happier, because it is my second favorite holiday!!

Someone suggested to us that we use Neil med sinus rinse. My husband uses it and it seems to work pretty good to actually clean all that pollen out. Hope things get better for you pollen seems to be bad this year. Trying for a baby that is exciting. The Satko's are expecting two in December I guess the Churchill's will need to keep up.
