Oh man! Does that mean no more bike outings? Blech! Zyrtec makes me feel like I can’t lift my arms. Hope the winds blow the crap out soon!!

Girl, I feel your pain and your sneezes. I am allergic to everything – grass, dust, my cat, etc. I use Zyrtec, but sometimes I still suffer. Bob uses Allegra, but only about half the time, so to save money I was using that. Unfortunately, it can give you pink eye and I was one of the ones who it affects like that.

I don’t know why but i can’t type in my website address. Weird!

Maybe that is what is wrong with me. I don’t have sever symptoms, but it never fails..mowing the grass makes my nose runny. LOL!

I could go for the lose of tissue in the hiney too!

yeah – see i have asthma so I’m allergic to EVERYTHING. dust, grass, dogs, cats, pollen you name it – it makes me sneeze. and the snot dripping from the nose? oh yeah Babe finds that VERY attractive. =)
I’m so sorry you are suffering as well – in the grass capital no less!
I strongly suggest you move here and we can be neighbors and enjoy our allergies together!!

How come I had severe allergies and never got to skip yardwork?? The hell? My dad made me rake grass every time he mowed. And sweep off the sidewalks. Because we lived on an Air Force Base. And then, when I was a soggy, snotty, watery-eyed mess my mom would dope me up on Atarax and I’d pass out. Wait…this totally explains a lot…

I hear you girl. I have been hibernating in the air conditioning with the doors and windows shut. The one day I attemped fishing, the next morning my eyes were crusted shut. Yuck.

Yep, it is miserable here too. They said on the news the other day it would be one of the worst allergy seasons in Oklahoma. Lovely. My nose doesnt drip, just get completely stuffed up and the pressure in my ears is terrible. It even seems to affect one of my bunnies a bit.

I’m allergic to housework. Does that count? Oh, and mold. That stuff will lay me up for days if I’m not careful!

I used to try and fake allergies to get out of yard work when I was in high school. Is that the same thing?

No really, I feel for you. My son has them and it looks truly miserable.

1st: WordPress has been eating your comments. I was even thinking at one point, “Mindy must not like my new blog very much, she hasn’t said anything…” For it to occur to me YESTERDAY that maybe my comment spam filter wasn’t as infallible at detecting spam than my mail filter was, and lo and behold, Mindy Comments! I have educucated WP and perhaps it has learned its lesson. Next is the rolled up newspaper.

2. I also have really bad seasonal allergies – so bad that they trigger food allergies that I don’t have the rest of the year. My magic formula: steroid nasal spray, Claritin, and nasal rinses with a medi-pot. (I had to get talked into that one – I resisted for years and years.) ALSO – I just found out that there’s a prescription for that horrible, claw-your-eyes-out-with-your-nails itching. BUT my insurance doesn’t cover it, so we’ll just have to see how desperate I get. Trying to remember the name….uhhh….damn, it starts with a P, I think. But it’s only available by prescription but I’m sure if you told a doctor/eye-doctor that you were about ready to do an eyeball-ectomy with a melon baller they’d write a script for you.

They’re not GONE, but I can function. Although I limit my outdoor time during peak season.

Poor thing. Hope some cocktail works for you.

Ooooh…cocktails. Damn, it’s only 7 in the morning. Never mind.
