I don't care who you are, if you move to Kentucky, your nose will run like a junior ROTC program in an after school program. It will happen. Accept it...what it is we're dealing with here is the Lord wanting us out of the bluegrass and we're the idiots hanging on.
What I can't accept is the ragweed season hits me in August, the pollen hits me in May-July, and there's about a 45 minute period in August when I can breathe. I take zyrtec, allegra, nasonex, fluticasone, just about ready to try methodone, because no matter what I do, if I walk out of the hospital at about 5:15 my eyes are running by the time I reach the car. People think I'm mentally ill, as I weep and stumble to the parking deck. But the answer is,"hey man, I'm just swelling in reaction to this crappy air over here". I've actually kept a spare pair of contact lenses in my car with saline solution it's so bad. The Ohio river valley is like the land of oz, only instead of witches, tin men, and monkeys flying around there is phorma, ragweed, dust mites, white rain and tobacco flakes. What's my solution? Sinus rinses, and possibly taking a sabbatical every summer to the desert. I now understand those people wearing "life is good" tshirts and sensible shoes...they get it man, this adult onset allergy stuff is for the birds.
