Recently I tweeted:
“Spring, the time of year I want to punch Adam in the face because I’m pretty sure allergies are a product of the fall.”
I tweeted that because I am on lock down right now thanks to pollen. I can’t go outside or I look like I am crying from reading a really amazing poem about a pony. And there’s no way there were allergies in the Garden of Eden. I bet when God kicked out Adam and Eve he handed them a box of Claritin on the way. (Only one box though because even then, you could only get 15 at a time.)
I had a hard time capturing why I hated pollen so much, please don’t tell me about it’s importance for bees and flowers right now, until my friend sent me the image below. I don’t know who made it. If it’s you, let me know and I will give you credit. But this captures exactly why pollen is so deadly.
Question:
Am I the only one sneezing right now, or do you have seasonal allergies too?
Hahahaha! As someone who has suffered with year-round allergies her whole life, I find this extremely humorous!! I took Zyrtec and then Claritin for about 10 years (I’m only 27), and then finally did allergy shots a year ago. That, combined with taking a certain combination of essential oils, has GREATLY reduced my allergies. No more drugs or itchy, watery eyes for me! 🙂
This post was nothing to sneeze at…
I apparently have started having pollen-induced asthma, with major post-nasal drip. Flonase is the only thing that calmed it down, but I cough instead of sneeze. It is especially bad in a prone position. I have an appt with my doctor today to discuss an inhaler.
I am armed to the teeth with Nasocort, Benadryl and Kleenex. I have horses and am allergic to their hay.
Patience Camille, this too shall pass…
Yup.
No doubt about it.
I have weapons grade allergies.
Seriously.
When I reported for my draft physical in 1968 I was given 4F because of them.
I’ve done every treatment under the sun. Only two work for me – Kenalog for the acute season and AllergyEasy – a physician administered treatment that nails it.
Love the Death Star mashup.
My husband and I both have nasty allergies. Hubby started allergy shots last week. I’m monitoring his progress and might go down that path as well. All this pollen is really affecting my hustle!
Toilet fresheners and urinal cakes make me sneeze.
benadryl….fight the almost unstopable urge to sleep and zombie through my days until allergy season is over.
plus, there will be no misspelling in heaven, i mean new earth which is the new heaven, which will not be sexist.

Yep. Stuck inside as well. My biggest problem is that the pollen aggravates my asthma as well. Can’t breath. That makes for not much getting accomplished.
I get pretty much all of this [even the comments]. I have so many allergies, I’m afraid the next thing I’ll be allergic to is having allergies. I joke about it A LOT. I have to. It’s either that or be mad.
So… I don’t do drugs, I just wait for allergy season so I can feel that way for free. The only allergy I like is that [believe this or not] I’m allergic to cigarette smoke [as well as the “other” smokes]. So seeing Rush live for my birthday was fun, years ago. Even though I paid for it for about a week afterwards. “you ok?” “yeb, I’b fibne. lobed ta concert” I was a mess. Allergy shots have worked wonders for me as well. I have a few minor moments, nothing like I used to, though. my favorite joke? Begins with my being allergic to carrots. A gal at my church still hates it when I say her carrot cake is “killer”. [carrots give me Anaphylaxis] It’s a “cross pollination” thing. So I have it “part time”. SEE? the economy is messing with everything. I can’t even get a full time allergy anymore. The REAL joke was years later. My Allergist: “you can try carrots again. Just make sure you have someone with you when you do.”
Me: “so…let me get this straight. I’m 36 years old, & I can’t have carrots without ‘adult supervision’?” If you hate something bad enough, there’s a joke in there somewhere. Thanks for making me laugh. Sorry your suffering, though. We could all buy stock in Kleenex. [it’s the thought that counts. That’s why I think a lot]
