Pollen SUX

As much as I LOVE spring for all it's beauty, I also HATE it for all it's pollen.

My throat hurts. I have a tonsil that's the size of a softball, and it hurts to touch the side of my neck, just under my ear and jaw. I keep myself awake at night with the coughing. When I cough, it feels like I'm being stabbed in said tonsil, up to my ear and out my neck, all at the same time. My chest rattles at night. My eyes are all googly feeling. My nose hurts. My sinuses hurt. Even my teeth hurt! I take Zyrtec. I take cough medicine. I even use my asthma inhaler. Doesn't seem to help much, if at all. I'm avoiding the outdoors, like it's the plague. BUT, I see pretty flowers in my yard, that I want to take pictures of. But. The Plague. It's out there, too! What to do!
