Hello 2009! Sunday, April 19th, was the first horrible allergy-day of the year. I barely slept because of blocked and inflamed sinuses which make it very hard to breathe properly. This year I'm trying out a new nasal spray called Hydrasense. So far it's worked pretty well.. clears out the blockage almost instantly for a few hours. I've started the Claritin routine as well. I have an appointment with my doctor on May 1st and I'm planning on asking him if I can re-start the allergy shots treatment. I used to get weekly shots back in 1998 and then stopped after 3 years. Now that I have a car, I don't have to take public transit anymore so going to the clinic every week wouldn't be such a hassle.

Cheers to all fellow seasonal allergy sufferers. Hello to Spring!
