One thing I could blog about is how I found out I have some MAJOR allergies. I know, snooze-fest, but it's true. I have been miserable since the end of August and last week I found out why...DARN ALLERGIES. Cats, horses, ragweed, thistle, any weed, grass, trees, and a few other outdoorsie stuff.
When this all started back in August, I was informed that alfalfa tablets were great for the sinuses. So I went to the health food store and the owner whole-heartedly agreed as well as Grizzly Adams who was standing in line behind me. In his words, alfalfa is "the perfect plant to take for overall health". Well, if he claims it, then it must be true. After all, he looks like he lives off the land and probably takes "medicinal" marijuana for those crazy leg cramps. So I got them home and was taking 3 pills, 3 times a day (those were the instructions). My sinus infection was not clearing up (even on antibiotics), my nose was still snotty and congested-these pills were a crock of crap. Flash forward to my allergy test, Dun, Dun, DUN. I am allergic to ALFALFA! Who knew, who knew. Even Grizzly Adams was wrong on this one.
Surprisingly, I am only moderately allergic to my highly-trained dog, Belle (that's a shout-out to Roger). Good news, except for the cat and horses, they are all seasonal. But what to do about my psycho cat, Callie.....She was a 4 on the scale where everything was a 5 or 6.
I also have to go in and have a small procedure done in a week so this will be interesting-hopefully it will help clear up some of the side problems associated with my allergies. Maybe I will come out with a slightly new nose.... Just sayin.
