I love the beauty
Of a warm spring day, but I
Loathe the allergies
That always come with
It. I feel like death warmed o’er,
And I look the same.
‘Tis such a pity
That all I want to do this
Glorious day is
Curl up under
The covers and sleep till I
Feel human again.

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
Quercetin is an antioxidant vitamin. It’s a miracle for allergies. A natural pharmacist prescribed it to me, and I was able to get off if prescription meds that weren’t helping as much! He said 500mg three times a day with meals and a full glass of water.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into it. I figured it was allergies because I’m already on an antibiotic for something else, but after talking to a pharmacist this noon, I think it might be strep (Miss Tadpole’s got it). I’ll find out in the morning.

Thanks! Turns out I have strep. They gave me a prescription plus an antibiotic shot, and I think I surprised the nurse – she kept apologizing for how much it might hurt, but swallowing actually hurts more than that shot did. 🙂
Whatever was in that shot must be good stuff, because I’m feeling a little better already. 😀

That’s good. I had it last year, it was horrible. Gargling with very warm saltwater and drinking tea w honey helped me a lot! I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! I’ve been drinking water with a little bit of lemon juice for weeks, and it helps some, as long as the water is really cold. I tried tea (I love tea), but the heat just made things hurt more. 😦
Miss Tadpole’s had strep twice this year, most recently this past week. But she was at her mom’s last week, so who knows how I managed to get it. It’s a nasty little bugger; I haven’t had it in years, and I’m sorry to have it now.

Thanks, Tricia. My head’s feeling better today than it did yesterday, but my throat is just killing me. Winter can skip town any time now. 😉
