Mouldy
I went to the allergist last night. Maybe I should back up a bit, Nov. 6 I woke up with a puffy face. My allergies had been bothering me for a few weeks, and Thursday was the worst. I went to the doc and got antibiotics for my sinus infection. And while it stopped the swelling, the congestion, post-nasal drip, and raw throat remained. While talking with Phlome I realized how bad my allergies had been this year. I’ve pretty much had a runny nose all year, with varying degrees of congestion. A week later I called to make an appointment with the allergist. So last night I got poked and pricked and got a nice case of the hives all over my back, so that the allergist could determine that I am indeed allergic to year round allergens: Mold, and some grasses. I’m also potentially allergic to some other stuff, but those results were inconclusive. I get to go back next Thursday and get injections of those allergens to determine if I am a candidate for allergy shots. I hope I am. I want to work on a cure, not just management. In the meantime I have Nasonex to spray up my nose in the evenings. I’m assuming Nasonex is a process that takes some time since I didn’t’ get any relieve last night. Wed night I only got about 3 hour of sleep because I couldn’t breathe through my nose. Last night I got a little more sleep, but I’m still very very tired.
I also still have red itchy bumps all over my back. Phlome spread Calamine lotion on my back this morning, but I don’t think it’s helping much.
