Tissue Alert

Several years ago, my internist sent me to the allergist to be tested.  I was getting sinus infections a couple of times a year and he didn't like me being on antibiotics so often.  (These days, with me being on Enbrel, I definitely don't need to have infections, for sure.)  Anyway, it was determined that I am allergic to dust mites.  Great.  As if I can keep dust away.  So, I went on two different allergy meds and have had only one sinus infection in more than five years.  I guess the meds work.  But, that means two more medications that I take daily.  So, I decided to do something about this.

Almost two months ago, I decided to quit taking my allergy pills and just continue with the nasal spray.  And things have worked pretty well--until this last week.  I don't know WHAT is going on outside, but I have been miserable.  I wake up with a headache--which, for the most part, goes away within an hour, but still, it's a headache.  But today, WOW!  It's been raining all day and I am just miserable.  My headache isn't going away, I'm sneezing, and my nose is running like a faucet--I think I have to go back on my pills.  And I just may need to be tested again, because it seems as if my allergies have expanded.  I don't have a happy.
