I forgot what allergies are like

[clevermanka]

When I woke up this morning, my first thought was "Am I hungover?" I felt wretched. I made my way downstairs (carefully!), found my phone, called in sick, crawled up the stairs (literally, on all fours), and went back to bed for another three hours.

Last night's bit of excess wine with excellent company might be a partial culprit, but good god, has anyone looked at the weed pollen allergy charts for today? Jesus. No wonder my sinuses feel like they're trying to ooze out my eyeballs. I'm sure yesterday's rain stirred up all sorts of mold stuff, too.

Of course, Mikell Adams's office is closed on Thursday, so no NMT booster shot for me today. I'm going to get in some serious neti pot action, though, and ask Kiva my wonderful acupuncturist if there's anything she can do to help with allergies at least for this weekend. I'll back that up with some of mckitterick's Claritins.

My last NMT treatment was (according to LJ tags), March of 2009. Pretty amazing. I can't believe that shit really works. But this little reminder of how I used to feel all the time in the spring and fall...wow. So glad this is a rare occurance now.

I think I might go lie down again.

what is NMT?

Neuromodulation Technique (http://www.nmt.md/). It sounds so hokey, but I can't deny its effectiveness. I was at wit's end with my allergies a few years ago. I tried this as a therapy of last resort, went into it fairly cynically, and wow. Wow. Worked wonders.

and you can use that for allergies? wow.

I hear you. Mold and weeds both have been bad around here, and I would Neti myself with a garden hose if I thought the results would be faster.

Maybe a power washer.

You know it's bad when that sounds SO appealing!
