self pity

I just want to die.


Hayfever symptoms have risen to ridiculous proportions over the last few days. Running nose has finnaly got to my chest, which keeps me awake coughing and choking all night, add to that the fact that my lungs have shrunken to nothing due to the asthmatic reaction and my head is in constant pain from the headaches the coughing has caused.

Despite desperate attempts I dont think I've slept over 10 hours in total all week.

If there's one thing I hate about Oxford it's this. Every summer I just curl up and die. I've never known anywhere as pollenated as this.


I've never understood allergies. Something comes in contact with your body that it just "doesn't like" and causes all these silly side effects as your system goes into a hissy fit. It's just annoying. BAH.


Someone kill me now and put me out of my misery.

Hope you feel better soon :-/

I know exactly how you feel...when my family moved down south, suddenly it was like swimming through clouds of pollen. I was incapacitated for days/weeks every allergy season.

"Someone kill me now and put me out of my misery."

Only if I get the Kevin Caldwell locked in the basement. I need him to make my Master's video :-P

As for allergies, have you thought about getting some Allegra or Claritin? Then again, I'm unsure if they have that stuff in the UK. I'd imagine they do. Also, you might wanna see an allergist. Your symptoms seem a bit too severe and might require some mediation like a nose spray or something.

heh, trust me, I'm already on most medication readily available.

I have 1-a-day relief (your claritin type), nasal spray (which has been doing the most help, to he honest), eye drops, two kinds of asthmatic inhalers (one short term relief the other hormone enhanced 1-a-day), cough syrup for the excess and paracetamol for the headaches.

Short of sticking me in a pollen-filtered oxygen tube with the occasional steaming of my lungs I'm not sure what more I can do.

If medication fails, it might help to just chug water all day long... it's not a miracle cure, but it does help a little (and it's good for your body, too.)

Hope you feel better soon!

Mix in a little ginger ale or tonic water in there as well.

I feel you pain with allergies. When I was younger, whenever I had a lot of milk products, I'd break out in hives all over. Fortunately, that stopped when I was about 7, but I still can't have much milk stuff. Hell, I've been drinking Prosobe baby formula for 15 years! Not only that, but I'm allergic to cats. Most people just sneeze a lot when they come in contact with them. My throat would close up. Not so much anymore, though, since I tend to shy away from them and take lots of Benadryl if I know I'm gonna be around them.

Back in my home town every spring there would be so much pollin, you could wipe layers of green dust off your car ...

Fortunatly it's not as bad in Pittsburgh, because I have major allergies too. Claritin really helps me though.

Some people affect me this way too. =P

But yeah, I hear you about the debilitating allergies. I used to get laid up for practically an entire month when I was going to Duke because of the pollen. Hope you feel better soon. Have you ever gotten any allergy shots?

Sorry to hear that..I'm allery free pretty much so I guess I can't think what that's like.... Must be all you young people, They just don't built them like us older models anymore!

BTW, before you "curl up and die", please give ME Kevin Caldwell... I need him to make me some good AMVs since I suck....
