In the UK if you have severe problems, you can go to the docs and get a course of desensitization injections. Do they have a similar treatment available in the US that you could possibly try?
Emo, I tried to get through a series of those shots and never finished. It takes so long to get desensitized, and I hated sitting in the doctor's office. I have heard that the shots don't work for everyone, so I got to thinking I was wasting my time. I think that this is something that I'll just have to learn to live with. I just hope that I don't get fired during my allergy bouts. I tell you, I'm almost worthless during this time. When it comes to working, it takes all the strength that I can muster to go in. On days that I do make it in, I load up on my medications, and just muddle through.
Such is life! I wrote my boss a note explaining my predicament, but I don't know if it will help any. Sometimes, I think that it is SO ironic that I'm at work helping sick people when I need to be at home in bed.
Oh well! I need money. Gotta pay those bills. Ya know what I mean?
