that time of year




Well it's allergy season for me and I'm dying! I have severe allergies with grass, which is like one of the most abundant thing on earth, so yay for me. lol. Well in Albany I had an allergy doctor there and prescription nasonex medicine to keep me from losing my mind being sick. Well being in Atlanta I haven't really needed my nasonex I've been able to deal with it with just over the counter stuff, I guess Atlanta just doesn't have enough grass lol. Well this year I spent 2 weeks in Albany and my allergies went crazy! So now I'm back in Atlanta, dying from allergies, and nothing seems to be helping. I have tried tons of different medicines and nothing really helped. (by the way when the directions say drink a whole glass of water with this medicine DO IT! I forgot and an hour later I was throwing up! It was not fun). Well to get an appointment with my allergy doctor you have to do it months in advanced so I was like screw it I need a doctor up here. So I went to Doctors Express Urgent Care, which is some kinda thing off of Piedmont Hospital. It was great! It's a new building so everything is really clean. I was the only person in the waiting room which was nice. The nurses were really nice and the doctor was funny. He came in and checked out my ears, throat, listened to me breath, etc. All the usual stuff. Then said "well your congested in your ears, sinuses, chest, EVERYWHERE!" (now as if that wasn't funny enough imagine it coming from a small Korean man with a thick accent) It was hilarious! Then he said it seemed like I have severe allergies and I told him about my allergies. Then he looked at my chart and said "well I see you can't take coden so I can't give you the good stuff hahaha..." It was so funny! I was laughing and coughing at the same time. Everything he said was funny. So it was a great visit to the doctor. He gave me a prescription for steroids to jump start me and my nasonex. I am so happy to have my nasonex. I swear I don't know how I can survive with out this stuff. It's a life saver. hahaha. . . So I'm really hoping and really excited about getting better!
