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.

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

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.

Because I take daily nasal spray and get weekly allergy shots, I don’t believe they flare up for me
