Hayfever

mine is mostly about sneezing fits and constantly running/completely blocked nose, though.

I usually only get these symptoms in the morning and, after I take a pill, I am okay, more or less, for the rest of the day. sometimes using a nasal spray, if I feel anything a-tingling.

sneezing fits are very tiring but I don't know about fatigue, otherwise.

not v. helpful but I guess you should speak to your doctor, about it.

it took me 3 years to realise that I was getting hayfever.

Seems to be very mild this year though i've only had bad symptoms once.

There's something you can buy called a 'neti pot' which is a small teapot-like thing with a long narrow spout, which you fill with lukewarm salty water and use to flush out your nasal passages. It sounds ghastly, but it helps.

My mother, who gets it badly too, has been the same.

haaaaaaaachoo

<3 antihistamines

fuck this shit tbh

I've learned that 10mg of Loratadine, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, usually gets me through the day.. then I have some kind of nose spray that I'll hit in the afternoon if I need it (which I usually do)

ordinarily that would do it, but the last 10 days or so, 10mg of Loratadine first thing and a fluticasone nasal spray and my eyes are still watering until evening. whatever the fuck pollen is around now (the internet tells me nettle is high and grass is moderate) is really fucking me up this year for some reason

yeah I usually get a week or two in the summer where some tree or bush (never figured out which) goes off and there's nothing I can do but hide inside with a wet wash cloth on my face, usually after a really wet winter

When I lived in Sonoma County it was just perennial hell in the summer, I could never move back there.. fucking fields of bullshit flowers everywhere
