For the last several months, I have been sick. Fatigue, weight gain, persistent cough and just overall feeling not good. I honestly attributed part/much of it to job stress. Naps after work, laying low on weekends... it just got to the point where I had had enough.
A visit to the allergist last week confirmed that I am allergic to many things - dust, mold, pollen, trees, dogs, etc. No food allergies, but it all ties in together. I was prescribed a nasal spray and I am taking over-the-counter Allegra to help with the allergies, but there is no relief so far. When I wake up in the morning, I am nauseous for 30 minutes or so because of the drainage that goes on during the night. My voice sounds shot - like I've been at a concert the night before, screaming for four hours.
It's not just frustrating, it's freakin' frustrating (to take a play on Rose's words). This is not me, and I do not like this at all.
Does anyone else suffer from allergies - food or seasonal? How do you handle the day-to-day?
