Thank you! We should take a picture of our green selves. Have plans tonight to go to the theatre. Yay! I normally stay home to avoid driving, but I just wanted to go out so we are.
How are you feeling today, bonny?
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Happy Anniversary, Laura and DH!

Oooh. Theatre. Whatcha seeing?
How are you feeling today, bonny?
Confused! My throat still hurts a lot. I'm a bit tired and I have a little bit of nose action. Cold or allergy?
No fever, no body aches, no headache.
Now. I'm going to ask the hivemind what will probably be the dumbest question ever...
I've been sluggish lately, so friends suggested I take a Claritin.
The next day I develop allergy symptoms. Can those two things be related?

I would think that the more likely answer would be that something bloomed here in allergy wonderland that the Claritin doesn't help (it does nothing for me living here). I'd also ask you about the timing - that is, we've had rain on/off so if your nose started up on a sunny day, etc.
eta: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LAURA!

Sparky, the redbud is blooming outside my door, but I've never really had seasonal allergies before.
If Claritin doesn't for you in these parts, is there something that does?
I keep thinking, if I could just sleep more, it would go away, but that won't be the case unless I sleep a really long time, will it?
eta: Now, all of a sudden, as if by the power of suggestion, I'm sneezing.

Zyrtec works better for me on this side of the country, and I also have a prescription for Flonase.
Gesundheit!

Nope! Coincidence. And I'd say is definitely allergies. I've got the same stuff going on (and felt like HELL on Monday). Spring's a bloomin' in the MidAtlantic!

This is my benchmark for "not a cold". I do differentiate between a generalized headache and the eyebrow/cheekbone ache that often signals sinus inflammation and/or infection for me.
I take Claritin every day. And I have Nasonex, too, not to mention the amount of Benedryl I've been taking since it is more effective than the prescription insomnia meds that I have tried so far. The symptoms I'm having are in spite of this stuff. As I understand it, allergies can develop for anyone at any time. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the beating your immune system has taken recently has left it somewhat hyper-vigilant.

This was exactly my thought, Andi. Seriously, yesterday I was terrified that I had something that might turn into a respiratory something. So, frankly, the sudden onset of allergies...despite the feeling awful part...seems better to me.
It's just that I have zero energy at a time when I was all psyched to get my house and business in order. It's irritating physically, mentally AND spiritually!
