Yeah I'm allergy-free too but this talk of developing it in your 20s or later got me like

I've managed to dodge a few bullets then. Whew.

I'll tell ya though, being inactive for only a few days can really get the old atrophy ball rolling when you're up there in age. A body in motion stays in motion... and staves off diabetes and other things like allergy's.

Like Rodney Dangerfield said: I will not go gentle into that good night.

One thing I'm really bad at is remember to take a medicine on a day where I'm not having symptoms. I could probably get better results out of the stuff like allegra/zyrtec if I was better at that. I should make a concerted effort to take something for a month straight or something to see if it starts to help

Also something I definitely found yesterday that I was ****ing up on is it had definitely been too long since I swapped out our furnace filter.

Otherwise I'm a big beeliever in taking a teaspoon of locally pollinated honey every morning.

Do you happen to drink a lot of red wine?

I haven't had red wine in a long time, is that something that triggers symptoms for you?

It's funny because I didn't get Covid when Dana had it in our small ass apartment but f*cking ragweed turns me into a shell of a person.

Benydrl and taking a shower to wash off any and every speck of dirt on my face usually helps. So does committing hari-kari but I haven't tried the last one yet. In due time...

It's kinda bizarre how common this seems to be. Is there something about our immune systems that gets worse in our mid 20's? Or is it climate change or something? wtf lol

I thought mine was ragweed too, but it's the dead of winter and I'm still getting boned. There shouldn't be any ragweed around from what I can tell. So it must be something else

Of course he can but he's trying not to. FFS, Marie.

@Yorke not me, but several friends! Red wine always made their allergies worse, something to do with the sulfates.

i had a driver who was driving on straight rim on the back left side, it was screaming and sparking as she went. we were like whoa whoa, pull over, and she cancelled the ride to call her husband and we walked the rest of the way
