Today’s the first day I’ve felt human since Saturday.

I have a lifelong history of asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis. I rarely have problems with asthma now, but I remember as a child being taken to the ER many times to be held down while I get an “adrenaline” shot. Ouch. Over the years, I “grew out” of some of my allergies and developed new ones (some of which they still aren’t sure of definite triggers). I went through the whole series of allergy shots both as a toddler and again as an adult, even giving them to myself the second time. I’ve taken meds. Finally, I figured out I was just going to have to live with it. Unfortunately, my 2 favorite seasons of spring and fall have other plans for me.
