oyceterARRRRRGH!!! 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.

A lot of the stuffy feeling is your own inflamed membranes, rather than, ummm, stuff you can blow into a tissue. So bringing the inflammation down will make things a little less annoying. (The shiatsu may actually be working on that aspect rather than the pathways that are usually discussed.)
The silly thing I have means I can't tolerate decongestants, so I have learned various other tricks.
