most of my problem is skin, not sinus
You can take histamine 2 blockers meant for heartburn/GERD along WITH Allegra/Claritin/etc., because they actually are helpful for skin manifestations of allergic reactions.
The histamine 2 blockers are Tagamet (cimetidine), Pepcid (famotidine), Axid (nizatidine), and Zantac (ranitidine).

These are the only ones that work for my heartburn, the PPI antacids make it worse, somehow. Good to know they might help my skin reactions too.
What I need is an antihistamine that doesn't make me sleepy and dull, but still works.
So in an ongoing quest to figure out this woman's name, I thought maybe it's Ripsi, and now I think she may actually be the Ripsi who was on Bad Girls Club??? [link] Or they are related and/or it's just an Armenian "type." Anyway, at least now I know her name.

That would change my life significantly. Probably revolutionize the world.
Way to go, Jesse!
I can actually decide what to do next, work-wise. Weird. I don't expect it to last long.

I take my Claritin/Allegra/whatever at bedtime. They generally work for 24 hours, but their initial sleepifying effect doesn't bother me the next day.

Ooops. I didn't mean that Allegra *doesn't* work for skin reactions; just that if someone needed extra help, the H2 blockers can help.
My sense of smell came back last night as suddenly as it left. I stood inhaling Vick's Vaporub marveling at the mentholness of it until I started feeling like an idiot. Then I spent the rest of the night coughing.

I thought she was going for "this means wore!" but no.

Yay! My friend K. has no sense of smell. It must be weird.
First day of mental-health vacation: have been working for 3.5 hours. I expect I'll be working all day. I'm not docking myself a sick day if I actually work the whole day, dammit.
I spent 45 minutes yesterday writing out instructions for editing this very particular quirky journal - bullet list, bolded the important things - and today, the very first paper I proof, it's obvious the editor did not read it. WHY
