okay, quit it now!
Sep. 20th, 2013 01:52 pmSomething out there is pollinating or doing something. I woke up in the middle of the night with my nose running like a faucet, and I've been sneezing and blowing my nose like crazy all day.
And, yes, I'll take something. Just as soon as they invent a decongestant and/or antihistamine that doesn't knock me out for hours on end, or wire me for sound for twenty-four hours (which is what all 'non-drowsy' decongestants/allergy meds do to me, no matter how small a dose I take).
I need a sleep-neutral allergy med, okay? Allergy meds shouldn't be allowed to mess with sleep. It's not their job.
ETA: Okay. This is worse. I feel like I've got an ice pick jammed up my left nostril. I don't care if I don't sleep. I've taken a Claritin and two ibuprofen, but this is as bad as a bad migraine.
So much for quilting in public tomorrow...
ETA the 2nd: Well, I don't think I'm going to get any sleep tonight (she says, wide-eyed), but at least the ice pick is gone and my nose isn't running as much (note, this is not the equivalent of "stopped running", but it's better than nothing).
I still don't think I'm going to be going and sitting outside in the rain all afternoon tomorrow (under shelter, but still) to quilt in public, though. Sigh.
ETA the 3rd: Claritin doesn't keep me awake! Or at least when I combined it with ibuprofen last night it didn't. I am really looking forward to the predicted first fall storm tomorrow, though, which I hope will wash all the icky stuff out of the air so I can breathe unaided again.
