Pet Peeves

Working from home but having video meetings throughout the day so you actually have to wear real clothes. ๐Ÿ˜’
Yup, my covid job, I looked office ready from the waist up...but waist down was either sweatpants or jeans ๐Ÿ˜† and as soon as the video meeting was done I put a flannel or t-shirt on & went out to visit my flock.

Allergies & all the Crapola that goes with them! ๐Ÿคง

The culprits are smoke, dust & pollen mainly.

The seriously annoying:

Mucus & phlegm (hacking & spitting alot. Yup, so lady like LOL)
Sinus migraine (Bend down to pick something up, oh the pain of simple gravity)
Post nasal drip (All day is bad enough, but All night too? Omg pleeeeez!)
Sleepless nights cuz of hacking & spitting
Netipot & saline burn (Wow, am I a fire breathing dragon now? Cuz it sure feels like it!)
Either Stuffed painful sinus or nose dripping like a leaky faucet (one extreme or the other)
Nose resembles Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, ouch
Sore throat
Dry cough
Eyes very swollen & bloodshot
Eye gooey junk, especially nasty in the mornings
Ears feel like I've got water in them, enough to drive ya nuts
Rashes & itching
Sore neck from trying to prop head with pillows better cuz of the post nasal drip all night
Constipation cuz took Mucinex & no good toilet paper cuz I used all that to blow nose 50 thousand times & had to use paper towels in bathroom, so now butt is Sore, too!
What a PITA!
(Literally ๐Ÿ˜†)

All this crap, Even WITH Benedryl & Allegra

Well, I love being outside, just gonna have to deal with it, like I have since childhood. Some years are better, some worse. Can't be taking prednisone all of the time, either, it's not heathy, plus it gives me a fat moon face & makes me jittery.

If you've got successful remedies, please feel free to share.
I've already tried a few different remedies & still do the saline neti pot. In the past I tried allergy injections & just about every allergy medicine they make. Now take Alegra mornings & sometimes Benedryl at night. I use hepa filters in the house, I don't open house windows much, never on heavy pollen days, clothes go into the washer & I shower right away to reduce pollen in house, tried many natural remedies like ACV, honey, lemon, mint, chamomile, bromolain, butterbur, echinacea, vitamin C & turmeric.
Had 2 different sinus surgeries years ago, obviously did not help.
I wear mask to cut grass, too.

Maybe I need to adjust a dose of something I've already mentioned.
Well, any of your suggestions are welcome!

Bummer to hear allergy shots didn't help you. They were life-changing for me.
On super annoying thing about being in the middle of an allergy attack is if you literally have to go somewhere it can get awkward because people assume you're sick and look at you like you're really inconsiderate.
