Ugh. Mucous. October 16, 2006

Allergy season is beginning here in Austin and I am disgusted with my body’s reaction to it. I have entirely too much snot in my head to be a normal human being. When you are pregnant, you produce more mucous than normal anyway. Like buckets full. And of course, there is very little I can take to make it better. I took some Sudafed last night as it is on the “approved list” from the doctor. It made me feel like I had smoked crack. Actually, smoking crack is probably a pretty nice experience. Let’s not confuse that with how Sudafed made me feel. No, this was like a heart racing and brain hurting/burning type of experience. So, I instead take my benedryl at night and just suffer during the day. Who knew pregnancy could be this much fun?




Talk to your doctor. I take Flonase – b/c it goes in your nose it’s not really absorbed in a manner that passes to the baby. It lesses the inflamation in your nose thus stopping excess mucous production. I also dropped $99 at Target on a hepa filter for my bedroom – it’s made a HUGE improvment in how well i am sleeping and in waking up with clearer sinuses. If you go teh hepa way do NOT buy an ionic breeze – those ionic air cleaners actually spew crap into teh air that will make you sick
