It's Friday - and the month is almost over.

I've got a fairly busy day ahead of me, which is a good thing.


Unfortunately, the allergen levels are high in my Fair City (grasses are at Moderate ... pet dander is at High), and my Zyrtec isn't doing so well at keeping up with the problem. :-/

So, I've put in a call to the Good Doctor^TM, to see if there's anything else that I could/ should be doing about the congestion/ runny nose/ sneezing/ occasional scratchy throat-coughing. There might not be much of anything that can be done - or I might have to ramp up the Zyrtec for a while.

Ugh allergies. I tend to get hit hardest around 3:00am, so I've taken to dosing up on over-the-counter knock-you-out allergy pills just before bed. Has been a huge life saver. I used to take Zyrtec for hives, though. Was very nice.

Yesterday I went out to my car and it was green with pollen. :( Greeeeeeen.

When the Zyrtec works, it's quite effective. However, it's not doing so well for me now - which sucks.

When it comes to hives, I tend to get them from direct contact with grass - even via dog paws trodding around in the grass, then landing on my arms. :( Been that way since childhood - so, if nothing else, I could always get out of mowing the lawn ... lol.

My step-daughter gets them from grass. I get them from anything pressing against my skin (grass, the edge of a cardboard box I'm carrying, the handle of a grocery shopping basket hanging from my arm) and also just...randomly. *sigh* I stopped bothering with the Zyrtec for them a few years ago because, hey, they come, they go. Dry skin's more of a nuisance than the hives.

Sorry your Zyrtec isn't helping. :(
