*Cough* *hack* *cough*

My seasonal environmental allergic response kicked in right on the equinox. Hooray for predictability? It took me three days of complaining to remember that there are OTC drugs made for combating this shit. DH went out and got me Mucinex D and Nasalcrom, which I think I have decided I just need to stay on year-round, trying to figure out the calendar of when to start and stop is too hard - every time I stop turns out to be too early and it takes a week of being off it to find that out and then another week of using it again before it's effective, so experimentation leads to a lot of suffering with sinuses full of fluids and stopped up ears and the oh so charming cough that sounds like a sea-lion and hurts my chest. So, continuous use.

Meanwhile, I seem to have no choicet but to put off all but the most necessary stuff. I get so tired from the smallest thing, anything that can be put off will, I'm afraid.

Dayumn, that is a nasty reaction! Yikes!

I tend to be a drug minimalist myself, which is why I like the Nasalcrom - nothing actually gets into your bloodstream so there's nsm of the random psycho side-effects. My big problem with it is that when it's working I feel so totally normal that I am always tempted to stop using it because I feel so good I must not need it anymore. I am usually wrong when I think that, of course.
