Ever since I moved inland and no more salt water to tamper down allergens, I have been absolutely miserable with pollen and allergic reactions throughout each season. The pollen count hit the highest at the beginning of April, and within a week, I called my Primary Care Physician, asking for a Z Pak antibiotic because the post-nasal drainage, coughing, and exhaustion were very bad. The Z pak plus nasal rinses daily plus Zyrtec plus Singulair (Rx needed) plus Flonase brought me back to a sane existence. Sometimes, I take Zyrtec and Singulair twice a day if I start to drag by 3 pm.
It scares me too. I keep telling myself to wait for a good rainy day to dampen the pollen, so I can see if I feel better and thus confirm that it is allergies and not my IPF worsening. It’s hard not to work from fear.
