It Appears to Be Near The End of the Crazy Allergies

So what is the difference between today and yesterday? Not much. My body seems to be at a standstill and does not know what to do. My throat still hurts, I'm still coughing, voice is still totally Frogger, and my poor nose is still making stuff. Overall, I can tell that whatever was in the air just is not anymore - or at least not to that extent. Yea!

The majority of individuals have fairly minor allergies. Mine fall into the absolutely insane category. About 2-3 times a year I get extremely sick from them to the point where they have the potential of putting me to bed for a few days unable to do anything. These are just the airborne allergies, not even going into the foods which can make me deathly ill. In fact, I have now moved into the category of always carrying an epi pen with me because there are times when I eat wheat and my throat closes up. The good news is I am being completely retested for allergies next week to see where I am now on the scale. From what I've been able to establish they seem to be much worse than they were the last time I was tested around 3 years ago so this should be interesting. For those that don't know, you should acutally be tested every 1-2 years to see how your allergies have changed. The best treatment is still meds and shots, but they now have an option where you can take a day and work to increase the amount your body can handle of the shot in one day instead of slowly increasing over months. After that you will continue to keep getting your shots, but it will be at a much higher dose than if you slowly increased over an extended period of time. This was not an option the last time that I did the shots so I am pretty excited about this.
