Mine, that is - so the allergy symptoms will be GONE. My ears have seldom had problems, but are so filled with fluid that I can barely hear. I ran a few errands (in a car with A/C on)and am a mess again. Trying Zicam nasal gel, as the RX steroid spray will take a few weeks to be effective.
Will take a catnap (literally) shortly, then decide if I dare work outside wearing a face mask. DH just doesn't understand how miserable I feel & has been nagging me about some of the landscaping that needs to be done now that the walk is in.

Thanks Donna - I switched OTC allergy meds and it seems to be helping a lot. I had to run another errand this afternoon, so no outdoor work. Must gear up & get plants in pots tomorrow - we're having a heat wave on the weekend.

I can't believe how the allergies are for everyone even those that never had them have them this year.
When I told the doc that my even my ears felt full he told me to take OTC Mucinex twice a day. I do that when I have a little chest congestion.....and so I thought he was crazy.....but nope it does work.....for Pete's sake.......lol
Cheap, easy to get and an easy fix......hope it works for you.....that and Alka Seltzer Plus is the only things that help me......I do take the OTC allergy stuff once in a while too........
Good luck.....
Nothing worse than having to wear that C-Pap at night and it can't blow air in my nose.....lol.....not sleeping well lately because of that.....
I just hate it when I have lots to do but don't feel like doing it.
Thanks for reminding me about Mucinex - I have a bottle of tablets in the cabinet, totally forgot they do good work.

Deb,
If I coulda trusted DH to put the flowers in the right pots, I would have let him. I shudder to imagine what kind of combos he'd put together. I put on a face mask, wrapped my head with a scarf, wore my weighted back support, took meds and got it all done before lunch. Good thing the neighbor kids are still in school, or I would have scared the heck out of them.
I have annual dilemma of what to do with the pansies which still look great. I put them in early March and know they will shrivel as soon as temps to up to 80, but it's so hard to toss them.
Raining now & predicted for Fri. This will force me inside to finish the baby quilt I need for Sunday's baby shower. DGrD is down to last 4 weeks and has also been suffering from the high pollen, but can't take many meds. It's given her headaches & upset stomach, so MD visit showed she's gained only 14 lbs this time, but her BP is fine and the baby is big and active.

So sorry you've had problems, Jacquie.
