Well, I’m glad to hear your hay fever is acting up, because that explains what the hell is going on with MINE. I thought hay fever was for spring, but I’ve had to snort my nasal spray every day for the last week or have my nose run off my face. ---

When I was 15 an allergist tested me against a couple-dozen allergens. When the nurse jabbed me with one a muscle reaction jerked the needle out of my hand and across the room. “Just out of curiousity, what was that?” “Ragweed” “Not surprising.” Since then my sensitivity to the pollens that should cause a reaction have declined. I still react to the allergens I know exist in my home, but I’m used to most of the most of the rest. Which does not include cats. BIG ☹ ---

My husband has/had HORRIBLE allergies (grasses, mostly), but about a year and a half ago he started these shots - first it was a 1/100th of the ‘allergen’ mixture once a week, then 1/10th, then full. This went on for about six months (and started about eight months before allergy season). Then it moved to once every two weeks, then once a month. It was a hassle, but he hardly has any allergies this year. It seems to be really worth it. I’m not sure how expensive it is (it was covered for us), but could be something to look in to. ---

I get it more in the spring and summer. I have it bad if I mow the lawn. Bad enough that I feel like I have a virus. (I now pay someone to mow my lawn, but before I did that I used to wear a Darth Vader style face mask) Fall isn’t too bad for me, but you have my sympathies. ---

AUTUMN. can fucking lick the scrotum of a fucking dead tranvestite whore in a dumpster and can suck my big fucking cock, too. Yes, fuck histamines, or whatever accident of history made us evolve to use them for both “allergic reactions” and “staying awake”. But at least I’m not living at home in the middle of corn country anymore. September used to mean I would lurch around with itchy, painful, red _28 Days Later_ eyes wearing my glasses that fuck up my depth perception because of course it was impossible to wear contacts, and usually I would just give up and stay in bed with ice packs on my eyes because it was _that bad_. I guess I should be grateful that whatever I’m allergic to here (in my college town) just gives me the respiratory symptoms. Respiratory symptoms. At a small college that’s positively seething with Swine Flu Panic. Yeah, I’m a bit of a pariah at the moment. ---

This year the fall hay fever season is a killer. Itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing fits and interrupted sleep. Symptoms are breaking through the Zyrtec, which usually knocks them dead. Can’t wait until the first frost that kills the damn weeds… but them it will be (almost) winter. Sigh… ---

From what the news says, the weeklong severe headache most allergy sufferers I know (and me too) in this state at least have had are not in fact due to pollen, but a vast over-production of mold due to all that goddamn rain we got from May through July. I’m sure the pollen isn’t helping, though! ---

8th day, on my second 9 hit box of frova for the damned eternal migraine … maybe i can pay someone to cut off my head, freeze it and use it for batting practice, probably wouldnt hurt as much. I get a couple good hours before the damned pain comes back, then it is back into the dark room. and because we can use invectives even if we arent in the pit, FUCK. ---

Preach it. I get allergy shots every 3 weeks, take 24-hr antihistamines, and this time of year and in the spring I also use nose spray and eye drops. So other than my nose running, my ears plugging up, my eyes itching and my skin itching, I’m FINE. Fucking allergies.
