[Pounding headache...]

Yesterday was a long day.

I had an attack of allergic rhinitis in the morning. I haven't had an attack for a while. I've been paying special attention not to rub my face in my pillow, bolster or bed. No matter how hard anyone tries, there will always been some dust mites in these things. If I don't rub my face in them, I don't inhale any of the dust mites and I won't get an attack.

It was an especially bad episode. I took some Clarinase. It didn't work. I was on leave, but it was because I had to accompany my father for his day surgery.

I felt like crap the whole time I was in the hospital. The irony of it all - sick, in a hospital and not getting any better or treatment. We were done at about 4pm and we reached home about 15 minutes later. I immediately took half of a little yellow pill - a first generation antihistamine. One of the side effects of allergic rhinitis was exhaustion. So even though Clarinase was anti-drowsy, I was dead tired. Taking the yellow pill, a first generation antihistamine with no anti-drowsy effects (in fact, it will make you drowsy) nearly floored me.

I had an appointment in the evening and I pulled myself together to attend. By the end of the evening, I was seriously dead and running on empty. I got into bed shortly after I reached home, and was still feeling the drowsy effects when I got up in the morning. I took a nap in the afternoon and woke up with a very bad headache.

If I had three wishes, I would definitely spend one on getting "cured" from allergic rhinitis.

Most likely will spend one on getting Jessica Simpson to fall in love with me, but that's another story.
