Well, my appt was today, and it turns out that I have a really severe case http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif. I'm now being put on 3 diff medicines!! 2 pills of diff kind of ingredients, and also a really STRONG nasal spray, Beconase http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif ! Has anyone tried Beconase before?????? It's scaring the heck out of me b/c it's sooo very strong, and I get so scared that I actually have to take a DEEP breath before shooting up another spray up my nose (i have to take 3 sprays each). It stings my nose like hell, and I always feel (after each spray) that my nose is gonna start bleeding!!!

After a few seconds (after spraying), my nose feels fine again, but spraying scares the hell outta me. It's nothing like Flonase (which was a breeze to spray)...supposedly it's like Nasonex but stronger. I really hope it doesn't have bad side effects (b/c it feels like it does!!).

But anyway, I zonked out right after taking the pills. I really hope it doesn't zonk me out regularly, b/c I'm supposed to take it twice daily!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif Hopefully this was just a one-time thing. BUt after taking the pills, I became really drowsy and fell asleep in 5 minutes, so much so that I even had to cancel on my plans!!

I have those all-year allergies, which are attributed to dust and mold http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif. I have to get rid of all my stuffed animals http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif, and some pillows, and I have to get an air purifier!!

Hi Liz!! Thanks for asking http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif!! I feel a LOT better, but spraying that medicine still creeps me out sometimes http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif (I still have to take a deep breath before each spray!). I can actually breathe thru my nose somewhat, now!

The only bad thing out of all of this is that now I have no excuse to not clean my room http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif LOL. The dr. said that dust and mold is causing my allergies, so basically - I have to clean out the whole house! My mom is a total neat freak - so you can bet that she's having a field day at this news!

Oh - do you mind me emailing you soon? I'd love to talk to you in emails! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
