All throughout high school (and maybe middle school), I took allergy medication every day. You bored with this blog yet? Real life stuff people. It just became one of those routine things that I didn't really think about.
That all changed when I went to college. With all my new found freedom....I forgot to take my allergy meds. I know, responsibility at its best. Thankfully, it didn't matter that I forgot them....because I didn't have any more allergy symptoms!! No more sneezing and sinus pressure. Call it what you want, but I mainly contribute it to being in Wilmington, NC, which I firmly believe is one of the best places on earth.
The interesting/funny thing was that as soon as I went back home....I would start sneezing. It got to be comical to me at least. I would go home and within an hour I would sneeze a couple times, and my mom, being the great person she is....would walk into the room with a glass of water and an allergy pill. This pattern continued after college to the present...whenever I went home....the allergy meds started back as well. The super funny joke that I came up with was that I was allergic to my own house. Oddly enough, my mom never thought it was that funny.
Fast forward to me living in this new little part of the desert. Over the past few months....I've gotten repetitive colds and more sinus headaches than ever before. After 30 years of life...and nursing school, I finally decided to try the ole allergy meds again (education at its finest). Start breathing easy mom....I'm allergic to another place besides the house!
