Worst Allergies EVER in MO

ok, not that I am necessarily placing blame on the lovely state of MO :)  but having just experienced the worst bout of allergies I have had in my very young life of 41 years, is reason for pause and to say, 'what the hell is making me so sick in this state'


Coming up on 2 weeks w/ a head that felt like a lead balloon, body aches on par w/ the flu and a manly voice to boot, I wound up in the ENT doctors office to get the lowdown on what this was.
After thorough evaluation(2 seconds) of both nostrils and throat , asking f I had fever and what color was the  mucous running down my throat(yah, don't usually look at it), it was determined I did not have a sinus infection but allergies that can sometimes feel like a bad cold.


I have finally, today found light at the end of the tunnel...no, I am not dead, simply that my Zyrtec-D, neti pot cleanse, flonase combination has finally worked and I am among the healed.
Holy crap, I never thought it would happen, but am relieved to be able to bend over to pick up my son without feeling like my head would implode.


The mystery remains,  what was the evil culprit that wreaked havoc on my sinuses?...we may never know.
But one thing is for certain, I do love me some neti pot and certainly appreciate it's effectiveness at cleaning the crud out!
