Apparently, I have Allergies

Last September - that is September of 2006 - I felt like I had something caught in my throat. In October I had a gyno appointment and although that isn't his regular hole to check out, he took a look-see but saw nothing. After that I made an appointment with my GP. Five weeks later, when I went to see the doctor, it still felt like there was something caught in my throat. He couldn't see anything either. So he put me on Nasonex - which made no difference at all and I HATED snorting it. So I have just learned to live with something caught in my throat. In my "research", I learned that because the throat has so many nerve endings in it, even the smallest think can feel huge. (They should put all those in the vagina - not the throat - but I digress)

So over the past year this throat thing changes from time to time. Sometimes it feels like something is stuck and sometimes it feels like the whole thing is swelling shut. A few weeks ago a friend of mine had the "whole thing is swelling shut" thing happen to him. Well, since he and I swap spit occassionally, I thought we maybe have some kind of fungus or virus or bacterial crap. He went to the doctor. His doctor did a whole upper GI series of tests - nothing wrong. Told him to try Claritin. He did. It worked. So I did. It worked.

Yesterday, I forgot to take my Claritin. Today, my nose is running like a sieve. Apparently, I have allergies. I have taken my Claritin today.
