Well, my appt was today, and it turns out that I have a really severe case
. I'm now being put on 3 diff medicines!! 2 pills of diff kind of ingredients, and also a really STRONG nasal spray, Beconase
! 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!!!
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
. I have to get rid of all my stuffed animals
, and some pillows, and I have to get an air purifier!!
