Today I am back to work after spending two days at home pretty much in bed most of the time. I watched three movies and read half a book so that was a pretty good effort. Could have been nice if I didn’t feel so crappy and with the ever present feeling of guilt that I wasn’t at work or doing uni.
I thought I had the flu but this morning I worked out that it was actually hayfever. Itchy eyes, sore throat, very runny nose and incredibly groggy in the head. Not very pleasant I tell you what. When I was growing up my mum always got hayfever. I often thought I am so pleased that it didn’t happen to me but now it seems it does. Anyway now I have worked out what it is I have taken an anithistimene and I am feeling a bit better. Though a little drowsy even though it supposed to be non drowsy.
The pharmacist said it was drowsy. I picked it on purpose because I felt like a nap.
I’m sorry you inherited our predisposition to spring allergy. I got it form my mum too. I’ve always found the 24 hour non drowsy antihistamines work well. The other thing that really helped is using Becanase nasal spray routinely every day through spring. It’s a good idea to actually tlak to the chemist when you buy these products and they tell you how to use them properly etc. I used to use the spray only when my nose ran but I was told they work better a single dose every day and he was right. You can try using the garlic and horseradish tablets too. Good luck.
