After 20-odd years of allergy problems, I’ve decided to take the plunge and have booked an appointment with an allergist for testing and then weekly allergy treatments.

For a long time, it was ok to just take my prescription antihistamines (Seldane back in the day, then Allegra after the former was discontinued) but I’ve noticed in the past year or two that my allergies have been getting worse. Muuuuch worse. This past week, my head’s been hurting from being so stuffed up and generally bleah. Mind you, pollen on this level doesn’t help matters:

The only thing that stinks is that starting a week before my appointment, I have to go off my antihistamines so that the testing will be accurate. So for people who are around me between May 5th through 12th, I apologize in advance if I start clawing my eyes out right in front of you.

On an unrelated note, my television remote has mysteriously vanished in the last half hour. Hmmm. Where the heck did I put that?
