ARRRRRGH!!! Please shoot me now.

Or get me a new sinus system.

I used to be asthmatic, but in the past year, it seems to have changed to allergies. Claritin doesn't work on anything except my cat allergies, Allegra makes me break out in a rash, and Zyrtec just plain doesn't work. And my insurance right now sucks and I don't have the money to get allergy shots. Usually Tylenol Severe Allergy works, but apparently NOT TODAY OMG RAGE RAGE!

I can barely keep my eyes open; half of my nose is still dripping, and I sound like I have cotton stuffed up my brain.

This is actually an improvement over how I was two hours ago, when my nose managed to be both completely stuffed and completely dripping and I couldn't breathe through my mouth either because of post-nasal drip keeping me coughing. Let me tell you, I turn into a cursing monster when I can't breathe.

Why yes, it is windy as all fuck outside. Hopefully now that I am in a flourescent-lit hermetically sealed office building, things will die down soon.

Otherwise, I am going to shoot the next person who attempts to talk to me at work. At least this morning I didn't wake up with hives like I usually do.

That sucks. :( Hope you feel better soon. FWIW, the only meds that really help me are benadryl chased with some decongestants and cough suppressors, and it renders me as dumb as a box of rocks and about as awake. My brother bought a fancy shmancy air filtering system and swears by it.

ZOMG. Still cannot breathe through half of my nose or keep eyes open. May be completely unfunctional at work today, great.

*Hugs* I hate, hate, hate not breathing. One thing I do when I'm totally desperate is put a bit of Tiger Balm in the blocked nostril, just the edge of it, and sniff like mad. Sometimes it clears things enough to breathe, but sometimes it doesn't. Mostly it just makes me feel like I am doing something and not at the mercy of my lousy sinuses. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you, okay?

Awww, thank you. Mostly right now I am still just trying to breathe. Stupid nose.
