Am I the only one who wishes they could hibernate – I mean literally remain hidden until allergy season is over? When I tell you that my allergies make me feel like I want to die, I’m not kidding. This is THE worst time of the year for me and makes me wish for winter to come back or crave for summer to arrive. As much as I love to see the trees bloom, I dread the pollen that follows. Seeing that green dust on cars is my worse nightmare.
I get it all, the sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat and itchy red watery eyes. It makes me want to stay in bed all day. But, because that’s not possible and life has to go on, I’ve learned of ways to cope with allergies. Below are some tips that could maybe help you if you’re an allergy sufferer like me.
#1 Clean your house top to bottom. Dust affects your allergies and makes things a lot worse.
#2 Take an allergy medicine that contains a decongestant as soon as you wake up in the morning, like Claritin D or Allegra D.
#3 Use a nasal spray that contains a steroid like Zyrtec, Flonase or Nasonex. The nasal spray really should be used on a daily basis way before allergy season but I always forget. 🙁
#4 Use eye drops as soon as you wake up as well so that you don’t start rubbing your itchy eyes. I currently use Bausch & Lomb eye allergy drops or Zaditor. Both work great!
#5 At night, take something that will help you sleep and prevent sneezing and runny nose. I take Nyquil but I just discovered that Benadryl came out with a decongestant version so I will be trying that out.
#6 Remove your clothing as soon as you get in the house and put them in the wash.
#7 Wash your face and hands frequently and avoid rubbing your eyes.
I’ve gotten advice to try taking raw honey every day, months before allergy season. I started doing this since January but ufortunately, it didn’t help me. I’m still suffering.
I’m so sad to say that my yourgest son inherited my allergies. I feel so bad for him because since he’s a kid there’s only so much medication we can give him. Our goal is to find a homeopathic doctor who can help us with alternative methods to help deal with the allergies.
I hope these tips above will help you cope as well.
Black and White Outfit With A Pop
Top / Pants / Shoes / Bag / Leather Cuff, here and here
This has been one of my favorite looks by far. As you can see from my last post, black, white and red is one of my favorite combos. This bag is a little more on the pink side but you know what I mean. Also, I’m all about the sleeves on this top. I love that you can wear it two ways either with the string tied into a bow or loose to make it a bell sleeve. I’ve linked everything I’m wearing above and below.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!
