Big News

I have big news. So big, in fact, that I forgot to tell you!!

I went to the doctor just miserable the other day, saying that they had to help me with my allergies or send me to a specialist, because I was literally SICK everyday from them.

They upped my dosages, added new meds, and put me on short-term steroids. And guess what?


I haven't sneezed in 4 days. FOUR DAYS!? If you know me, and know that I sneeze like 150 + times a day, you know how huge this is. Heather can attest to the fact that I have been a high-number sneezer since I can remember. As far back as my memory goes I have sneezed and sneezed and sneezed.

There's not a time in my life I can remember going more than hours without sneezing. It's a big deal, y'all!

Congrats!! Going days without sneezing IS a big deal!
I wish it could work for me too...
Since I live in NY my allergies are much better. Springtime used to be a nightmare... now I barely notice.

Glad you've found a cure!

Will people still say "God Bless You!"?? Don't worry, I will.. I've gone through 2 rounds of allergy shots, once when I was in high school, (a good reason to miss 1 day of school a week, and also to have a large bump on each of my upper arms for the prom),and one a few years ago, so I don't have to walk around with a cloth diaper anymore.. but I still take allergy medicine, I'm glad it's no longer by prescription. When I was a kid, everything was, and it was hard! I'm glad you're getting good results, life can be difficult when you're always sneezing!! Hope it continues to go well..
