I look like I’m crying.

Evidently it’s the old ragweed thing rearing up for its annual September onslaught. This is the worst I can remember it hitting me in a long time.
Yes, I took my allergy medicines, which usually clear everything up very well. I have two I alternate. I’m either sneezing, coughing from a throat tickle, or wiping my eyes because they are watering. Not fun.
It would also help if it wasn’t hotter than blazes outside! I’m more than ready for a cold snap to arrive, but it’s not in our future at all for some time.
Do you get hit with seasonal allergies?

No, I don't actually..There are some things I may react to a bit in the spring, but not really this time. My dad and I both used to have allergies to ragweed..but for both of us it no longer exists

Oh, yeah. I should be out of asthma medicine next week if I keep using it at the rate I am this week. 
I keep the A/C at 67 at night because it helps me breathe better.

I had to take an extra dose today. I absolutely could not stop sneezing. My head felt ready to explode. I couldn't put the AC on that low, but if it helps you that is all that matters. I am so thankful my AC is fixed.

I will be OK, it's just hard to function when you are crying all the time from those darn allergies!

That harvest dust is a killer. The drier it is out there, the dust from harvest gets worse.

I am hoping for a rain tomorrow to settle the ragweed and the dust from this heat.

It's just not fun. You would think they could invent better meds.

Oh, I wish! When I am down there in that Florida heat, it seems I have even more headache issues than I do here at home.

My Aunt was allergic to sulphur, too. In the meds, all that I know is that I am allergic to Penicillin.

They switch my allergy meds a lot. When I take one for a long period of time, it usually stops working so then they change it up.
