Astelin (Azelastine)

The 411

Thank you Tori for giving me this award! Apparently Tori figured out how to get me to visit her blog; tell me you have something for me. :-) I am honored that she thinks I deserve this award, especially given my lack of posting lately.

As always I am supposed to pass this award along. The thing is when I give out an award half the time people do not post it. So I tell you what, if you are still reading this blog and will actually post this award, it is yours. If I read your blog I consider it to be award winning anyway. Uh, that is when I actually read blogs.

I have decided to post once a week for now. I'm sure I'll go back to my usual bi-weekly posting but I couldn't tell you when. Things are slowly starting to get settled for me and I should be back to some sort of a routine by next month (I hope).

To all of those who touted the allergy pills that help clear you up, I hate you. Okay not really, but I am a bit jealous. I take two pills (Xyzal and Singulair) and one nasal spray (Astelin) and I still go through hell every spring and during ragweed season as well.

I've had bad allergies since I was little. In fact one of my first memories is getting tested when I was three. They didn't have the scratch test back then. I got shots, over thirty of them on my back. I also pitched a fit.

Ah well at least I outgrew my food allergies. I also live in the worst place in the US if you have allergies. The plant diversity is almost equal to the Amazon rainforest. People who have never had allergies before will move here and get them. It is worth it to live here though.
