Things you wish you could say

1. I usually don't have to run the ac much yet and the place isn't sealed up well
2. It's already humid here
3. Claritin makes my symptoms worse for some reason. The only thing over the counter that worked at all was benadryl and that unfortunately no longer works. I need to honestly set up an appointment with an allergy specialist 'cause I was prescribed a rather strong allergies medicine a few years ago and even that no longer works unfortunately

It is indeed torture, I am barely functional at best through most of allergy season because of nonstop sneezing

Oh, that sounds horrid!

Have you considered changing environments... such as somewhere more arid (Colorado) or somewhere where humidity means a complete saturation of the air, like FL (near me, hehe).

Moving isn't feasible rn. I inherited where I am currently living from my late grandfather and it's completely paid off and I am not about to give that up especially in this economy. Even though the weather stinks (it's hot and extremely humid) this place isn't bad. The people are really nice, I actually like my job and am treated well and there's a thriving ag industry. I have also heard that moving isn't effective long term since sometimes one's body will just become allergic to something else. I might move someday, but I think I'd rather just see a specialist than move rn

Also, I was incidentally born in Florida and still have quite a lot of family there!

Sometimes taking the shots for allergies can help. It takes time but is worth trying.

That's likely the way I'm going to go assuming insurance covers it. Hoping it'll be a more long term solution than playing cat and mouse with medication

It worked better for me that I was able to give myself the shots. They prefer to get paid for the office visits for the shots.

Good luck.

I didn't know that was something you could do yourself. I wouldn't mind doing that myself if it was an option to save on time and expense

It's a lot more convenient. If you have a friend that is a nurse they can allow that person to give you the shots or they can teach you how. They like to require that someone else is present at the time of the shots in case there is an adverse reaction.

My mother was an LPN and got the needles for me. She gave me the shots for a short while and then I took them over.

Eventually they closed the place I was working and I stopped taking the shots due to lack of insurance. I still ended up a whole lot better than before I started taking the shots.

That sounds a lot like giving my cats subcutaneous fluids. I had the vet teach me how to do it. It saved me a lot of money, and my cat was a lot happier because she didn't have to go to the vet.

A simple thank you after I spent my weekend, the only time I'm home for multiple days in a row, looking after your animals, as well as my own, as well as the neighbour's, would be really nice. But apparently you can't even manage to be that civil.
