Allergies 2 - Skip 0

Do your allergy meds leave you in a fog?

I feel like a hibernating bear, shot by a tranquilizer dart. Lethargic, achy and 'fuzzy brained.' I stopped by Walgreens and asked the Pharmacist what i could do more to fight this horrible Pollen. He suggested i try a different medication. ('maybe instead of Claritin, try Zyrtec')

Now, i started yesterday by taking a Claritin (over the counter brand) then using Nasonex nasal spray. Then i added Zicam the nose swab sticks to dry up the runny nose. So after about 3pm when the Pharmacist suggested the 'new' med i took a Zyrtec. About 4pm i'm feeling 'in a fog.' My nose still runs, i still sneeze, but now i feel dazed and out of it.

Right then someone knocks on the hull of the boat. tap, tap, tap. "hello Census taker!" I have no idea what i told her but it was quick. I agree the new Census is quick and easy this time.
