Pollen forecast for my area

Pollen forecast for my area

I woke up this morning feeling like it was the middle of Spring. My eyes were itchy, my nose runny. I checked the pollen forecast for today and it would appear that I’m allergic to cedar pollen, among other things. My testing mechanism is much more effective than getting my blood drawn for an allergy test. What does that silly doctor know anyway? ;)

I’m also in a bit of a quandary right now. See, I was really, really hungry this morning on my way to work and decided to splurge on some McDonald’s. I was all excited to take my Allegra-D when I got into work, but then I read the bottle and it told me that I needed to take it on an empty stomach, 1 hour before eating or 2-3 hours after. I also have regular Allegra, which I can take on a full stomach, but I’m not supposed to take with orange juice, which I also had for breakfast. If only I knew someone in the medical field…
