Let's talk allergies. Are you allergic to anything? Do you get seasonal allergies? If so, how do you deal with your allergies?I was just reflecting on this. This time of year is horrid for me when it comes to allergies. not only do I get itchy eyes/runny nose - but I feel like I've been run over by the train of exhaustion. I can never seem to feel awake and "good". This usually lasts for the entire month of April.

Let's talk allergies. Are you allergic to anything? Do you get seasonal allergies? If so, how do you deal with your allergies? Not that I know of. I get very mild seasonal allergies in the spring, but they are just annoying and not really treatable. My mom has seasonal allergies and is also allergic to cats (I think my brother is too), so maybe I have allergies too. DH has pretty bad allergies, but he uses a Neti pot.
Has Spring sprung where you are? In Rhode Island, it's starting to. It's going to be warm this week. I'm kinda mad that I didn't have time to see the cherry blossoms in DC over the weekend. Oh well. Next time.

I get seasonal allergies but not too bad, usually just some congestion and sinus headaches. I do a sinus rinse when allergens are bad, seems to help. Most medicine puts me to sleep.
