ALLERGIC RHINITIS

This year, I have been plagued with the symptoms of Hay Fever more than in other years. I haven't slept more than a few hours every night and when I wake, I have swollen, itchy eyes, runny nose, itchy throat, sneezing, wheezing and I am tired and grumpy. Allergic rhinitis is a collection of symptoms, mostly in the nose and eyes, which occur when you breathe in something you are allergic to, such as dust, dander or POLLEN.

The Cotton Wood trees are giving me the most problem this year with all these fluffy seeds floating in the air. I love a good rain to clear the air; but until that happens, hurray for anti-histamines!
