#allergies year round

[rivnar]

And instead of touching grass, we all fled to tumblr ☠️

Twitter really said "you've read 300 posts time to go touch grass"

Hold up, how have they not cured allergies yet?

TORRES: We're not finished yet. I know a few things that old Sneezy didn't teach in his survival course.

KIM: Sneezy?

TORRES: Commander Zakarian, remember? He must have been allergic to everything.

wow I’m cooked

How does one go about getting tested for MCAS...

It's here!!

Greensand, buggy blend, fruity blend, veggie blend, catalpa leaves (broken unfortunately :( but maybe that's a plus, easier to spread), cuttlebone blocks

I hope they like it!

i watched one (1) movie about big pharma and now am researching the allergy meds i've been on for 18-13 years and connecting unexpected dots

I always hate ragweed season, it makes me have hay fever aka seasonal allergies. Luckily it isn't a sinus inflection and it isn't as bad as when I didn't take my allergies shots that made this more manageable, so now it only lasts a week to a few days at worst an entire month.

I was so looking forward to finishing up Erik's section of chapter 8 tonight, however it looks like Ragweed had other plans for me. Then after that is it was just minor fixes to it. But, I am looking forward to seeing Blue Beetle tomorrow!

Two weeks ago I got some new houseplants, and since then I've had a stuffy nose every. single. evening, not during the day when I was at work, and it's only clicked now that I might be allergic to one of them (but hey what's new. I should have known, with my allergy track record and all that)

Peace lilies are supposedly good for people with allergies, with their ~air purification~ quality and whatnot, but I guess that goes out of the window when that plant is exactly the thing you're allergic to 😂

Medication. Multiple flavors, even.

That's not a joke answer. Getting my brain and my body to function at even close to the expected levels, it's taken 4 separate prescriptions, plus several different vitamins.

you either have no allergies at all or lots of them, no inbetween

Honestly, although it’s technically untrue, i’m gonna say you’re right in that I have no allergies. Because they’re so minuscule and unimportant I just tell people I don’t have any 😂👍🏻 way more convenient tbh

feeling bad. might project my struggles onto Dexter later. we’ll see.

So I got a kidney infection out of nowhere with no preceding bladder infection or UTI. On top of that I got FOUR canker sores in my mouth at the same time. AND a fever blister/cold sore.

Yep, this seems like the work of a healthy unstressed immune system (/s)! My irrational paranoia that the weird ass nurse who felt the need to point out we were in a high school class together somehow sabotaged my colonoscopy results bc we were in a religious class where I was vocal about gay rights seems less irrational by the day

Maybe I should go outside. Walk to the park. Get some inspiration outside. What does the pollen look like?

Oh. Nevermind. It's spring. I'll stay inside.

[smallboyonherbike]

thinking rn about how when i got my frequent nosebleeds as a kid i got to go sit in the nurses office and now as an adult i just have to sit with kleenex stuffed up my nose and hope no one passes my office to see. and also knowing it would stop much sooner if i could use a tampon but really can't be doing that where ppl can see me even tho really it's like who cares it works

[toubledrouble]

You know what's funny?

Aside from my spring allergies, I have a mild cat allergy.

We have four indoor cats.

the saddest thing about my life to this point is that because of it, if I talk just slightly "too much", or I want to sing for longer than like a couple notes of a song (especially at an audible volume), or I start laughing in earnest, or I've eaten something delicious, i start coughing. This is because my body is so unfamiliar with the sensation of having a good time that it freaks out and over-produces phlegm any time i'm utilizing my throat because it has no idea how much we're supposed to need for this shit.

I spent most of my life not talking, or laughing with my whole being. (i did sing a lot but normally as part of a group and i was afraid of being heard and judged to be as bad as my sister told me i was at singing, so if i'm audible it's more likely to make my throat freak out). The eating thing may not be connected, but like. any time i've enjoyed a food, my throat's like "mmm we need more lube in here" and then BLAM phlegm city while i choke on it.

And then of course if my throat is raw from coughing because of the aforementioned things, you know what it likes to do? make more phlegm to lube that shit back up. Which makes me cough.

You'd think staying hydrated would fix this problem but no! in fact it does not! it can sometimes make it worse! my body is a horror show and existence is a nightmare! :D
