Hyper-active Immunity

As mentioned briefly in my Sinister post, my allergies have spiked. A look at The Weather Network's pollen report helps to explain why: mould spores are at high (80+), along with the grass and tree pollens. Blah.

I'm a walking advertisement for antihistamines - itchy, runny eyes, sore, itchy, swollen throat leading to a cough, sinus congestion and general mental fuzziness. The only problem is that OTC antihistamines are pretty ineffective, I've been taking them far too long. I was looking for a homeopathic doctor in Calgary, but they and the naturopaths charge outrageous fees. For that much money, I wouldn't expect healthiness - I should be freakin' deified. It's cheaper to catch the bus to Edmonton and see my homeopathic doctor there; so that's what I'm going to do.

I could live with everything else (and have!) but when I go to bed, the coughing keeps me up all night and I am not the type who functions well on sleep deprivation.
