Get Your Tissues Ready?

Aaaaa –CHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Yeah that’s right, it’s getting to be that time again; ALLERGY SEASON!!
My two biggest allergens are dust and dust mites and ragweed. While dust bothers me year ‘round, it only seems to cause sneezing when I come into a bunch of it….that why I don’t clean!
But ragweed hits me like a ton of bricks.
And this past weekend, even though the plants haven’t gone to seed yet, my nose was just like a leaky faucet; mostly closed off but every once in awhile it would leak like crazy.
A few years ago I went to the allergist and he was going to prescribe me the needle which I would get every two weeks, then every couple of month, until I just became immune to ragweed.
I decided to forego the needle treatment and just stick to Reactine or Clariton because it seems ever since I moved further north than Hamilton and Toronto, my allergy intenseness has decreased significantly.
It used to be so bad in the Hamilton area when my allergies would strike that I couldn’t really breath and a couple of mornings every season, I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air!
Not here in Parry Sound though. Though I might snore a little louder than usual, I am able to sleep just fine…with a box of Kleenex beside the bed!
