Life is a science experiment.
Everyday I struggle with allergies to my environment, my medicines, and the timing of of those medicines.
Just because something causes terrible side effects when taken at night does not mean I should never take it. It seems that taking the same allergy spray at ten in the morning is very beneficial.
Just like taking my blood pressure medicine at night is most effective, but I have a bad reaction to all statins.
No one seems to be able to just tell me these things. I have to figure them out, or stumble upon them.
I love my present apartment. I also loved all the plants I once had here, but evidently I am allergic to rabbit foot ferns and the dust. If I don't keep the air filters constantly brushed, the floor vacuumed and avoid all kinds of sprays, I am constantly sick.
I can take medicine for wheezing, but eventually it causes other difficulties, so I had to stop. Only to discover that if I kick the heat up two more degrees the wheezing stops.
I can eat a certain brand of toasted, lightly salted almonds unless I am unlucky enough to get the occasional bag that must be cooked in something different. Then I am allergic to them and my throat itches, even swells up some and I have to toss a ten dollar bag of nuts. And now I suffer whenever I eat a blizzard or Dairy Queen milk product.
The slightest change in things can cause me all kinds of problems and I begin to feel like a hypochondriac, but if I am one, then I am very good at manifesting real physical symptoms.
