I hate allergies

[mellowtigger]

It would be a lot easier to enjoy my time in Baldur's Gate 3 if I didn't have a sinus headache with my sinuses itching from whatever is annoying them this time.

I just finished flushing saltwater through my sinuses again, which I did on previous days too. I've turned on my air filter again, so at least my bedroom will be as clear of allergens as I can make it. I've started up my 24-hour antihistamine pills (Xyzal) and my nasal spray (Nasacort) antihistamine. I bought them on my Thursday morning trip to the big grocery store this week. Unfortunately, now that the Walgreens pharmacy is gone from this part of town, I can't buy cheaper generic medications.

Allergies have plagued me my whole life. Usually it's mold that sets me off like this, but we've been mostly dry all summer. Grass annoys me more now than it did in the past, but allergen indexes show it at only a medium level right now. So I don't know what has set me off this time, but it's annoying.

I have more enjoyable things to do with my life than produce copious amounts of snot while in a bad mood from a headache.

I have found that the older I get the worse my allergies get, starting in my late 40's and getting worse as I get older. Of course this isn't true for everyone. It started out with pine trees and cats, then later it I developed problems with rhododendrons and azaleas and this summer it has been almost nonstop and I have no idea what is causing it

We've had wildfire smoke all summer long too. That's not an allergen, but maybe somehow it's had my body ready to produce mucus at the slightest provocation? I don't know.
