Stuffed nose / allergies UGH!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: Fri, 31 July 2026, 04:17:06 »
I've been allergic to grass for basically my entire life and today they've been hitting like crazy and I've been struggling to sleep for 5 hours straight.

Right now I have a runny nose on my left nostril which is simultaneously stuffed AND runny, sleeping on my other side doesn't work, "gentle" blowing doesn't work, steam doesn't work, my nasal spray doesn't work, allergy pills don't work, I'm so tired of this.

Did I just lose the genetic lottery that badly or can y'all suggest some (not shady) natural remedies or something?? Thx!

Are you sure that it is actually grass? If so that is going to be very hard to get away from.

A wide-spectrum allergy test may reveal that it is something more specific.

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933

I drink a glass of warm milk every day, but on second thought it's just the mornings as soon as I wake up and the evenings that get really bad, I'll double it and see what happens
