Well, that was...something

[rolanni]

And so...I'm slightly (very slightly) allergic to...dogs...and some few weedy things...and a couple varieties of mold, but, really, who isn't? I am not, mind you, sensitive enough to any of these things that the doctor was willing to use the word "allergic," preferring "irritant." While this is Good News, it leaves open to wonder Just What Exactly Is Going On. Sigh. Nose drops for four weeks, and regroup. If no better, then I get to have my sinuses x-rayed. Somehow, this proposition fails to fill me with joy...

This was my very first time having an allergy test, which made me a minor celebrity with staff, and I must say that I have a whole new appreciation for the Death of A Thousand Cuts. Happily for me, I had taken along blink by Malcolm Gladwell, which is utterly absorbing. I can't wait to get back to it.

In other news, we had a thunderstorm this evening; the sun is out now, and the sky as blue as if it had never rained...

heh. After similar reactions (gee, these aren't reactions at all, that might be called a slight irritant but...), a round of steroids, and a sinus x-ray they decided that I had nonallergic rhinitis or somesuch and sent me off with a sample & scrip of Veramyst and told me to keep taking my allegra ("how's that working for you?"). ::sigh:: I've decided to go back to dealing with it the way I have before ever going there.
