Seriously, I'm ready to rip my immune system out and give me one without issues. I wish I could do that. I'm totally grateful that these are only allergies and it's not something more serious but it has become more than obnoxious at this point. For the past four days, I've been taking Allegra hoping that it would make me feel better and yesterday I actually did feel better. My nose wasn't running, I wasn't sneezing or congested, and my hives seemed to have lessened. This morning, however, I woke up and the allergies were raging. Sneezing like crazy and feeling super itchy from the hives on my hands and elbows I was ready to scream. After my therapy appointment, I went to CVS and got myself some more Aleve Cold and Sinus but that didn't help at all and I spent all day feeling miserable.
Thinking it may have something to do with the mess in the house, Dave kicked me out (I went to work to make some more money because I'm feeling ridiculously poor) and vacuumed the whole place. While at work, I started to feel better. There were less sneezes and I only had to blow my nose every ten minutes rather than every three. Since coming home though, the sneezing has started up again. My eyes are itchy and I feel like I'm back where I started. I've decided it's time to line my bedding with the allergy sheets again and I want to throw everything in this apartment away. Dave is convinced that there is mold in the walls from when there was that leak and that wouldn't help. I'm just so tired of all this and I don't know what to do.
Normally, I would just go to my doctor. He'd give me a cortisone shot and put me on a nebulizer for five or ten minutes and that would normally be what I needed. Now though, I no longer have the same insurance and therefore no longer have an allergy specialist as a doctor. I've been really hoping that I could get through this summer without having to go to my new doctor and try to convince him of what I need. He doesn't know and I get that. I just don't want to deal with it but I'm getting super tired of dealing with this. I don't understand why the allergy medicine isn't working and I'm just so tired and irritated and now I'm getting another headache. Great.
