There is a nano-second just before you sneeze when your head contorts involuntarily and looks to the heavens, your mouth opens into an awkward angle, your brow furrows, and your eyes begin to water. You totally look like a dork. Perhaps you even try to look towards the light to bring forth that sneeze that just won't come.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Well, I've been in that pre-sneeze mode for 6 full days now.
Six days!!!
Six days of walking around looking like I'm in extreme facial pain.
Six days of itchy, watery, red eyes.
Six days of little microscopic fairies tickling my nose with teeny, tiny little feathers.
Six days of feeling like I've inhaled pepper.
Six days of people asking me if I'm alright because it looks like I've been mourning the loss of a dead pet.
I've had it with this junk!
My allergy medicine is powerless to stop this evil sneezing madness.
It's Chinese torture to feel like you have to sneeze all week. Absolute Chinese Torture.
(Are the Chinese still known for their superior torture techniques? I'm not up on the latest.)
Anyway, I am in agony.
If it were socially acceptable to twist up two pieces of Kleenex and stick them up my nostrils, I would be the first to sport the new fashion.
If I could put Cocoa Puffs up my nose to stop the madness, I would.
It's sheer misery.
Feeling a bit dramatic today, Nell? Why yes I am.
I'm off to buy stock in Kleenex,
ACHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, that is miserable!
ReplyDeleteAww, you poor thing! I take a regional homeopathic allergy remedy called Allergena (by Progena) and it has worked great for watery eyes, itchy throat, sneezing, etc. You ought to see if they make one for your state!
ReplyDeletePoor gal! Hope it ends soon!
ReplyDeleteAww...sounds miserable and I've been there too. Recently we've tried something new called Alavert (I think I bought it at Walgreens). So far, it's worked better than anything else I've tried. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hate allergy season. I sure hope you feel better!

my mom swears by honey...local grown honey..not grocery store stuff...she has the absolute worst allergies and since she has been using honey, she has been able to cease taking all allergy meds...she takes about a teaspoon a day...she mixes it into her smoothies she makes herself...but you can put it in something else or just eat it plain if you wish...hope it helps...
