Allergies
When I was a teenager, I used to mock people with allergies. Not badly, but I'd happily announce how I wasn't allergic to anything.

Karma sucks.

We recently purchased bicycles (partly for exercise, partly as a response to skyrocketing oil prices), and last night I rode bikes with my youngest daughter to the library, which is only about a mile away. Besides getting a little sore after the uphill leg - I haven't regularly ridden a bike in half a lifetime - I got massive lungfuls of nature. In addition to what I'd received a little earlier doing some evening yard work. Without having taken any allergy medicines.

By the time I did take any, I was nearly dead. My eyes were puffy. I'm not sure WHAT I was trying to write for the blog. I was trying to play a retro RPG (Lands of Lore), but couldn't keep with it. I had to crash. Still feeling it first thing this morning, as I write this, though I'm better.

So - be careful who you mock, because these things have a way of interfering with gaming!

I am one of those kids you made fun of. :-) I was alergic to everything. Luckily I outgrew my food alergies, but the other is still in tact. :-(

Try some clariton before you do this next time. I can't think right off hand whether it has any side effects or not, I don't even think it causes drowsiness.
 
yea I know exactly what you mean, I had a cat in my house from before I was born, to when I was 20, then I went for a year cat free, then when to my gf's friends house and bam my eyes had swollen themselves shut.

I'm usually fine as long as I take some reactine or the like, it works awesomely but it's rather pricy.
 
Luckily I'm the reverse, I was constantly suffering with my allergies when younger and have now outgrown.

Still, good luck, hope you recover.
 
I'm better now. Been taking pills daily now. But the other night - yeesh. My eyes were just gonna glue themselves shut.

Although it's been bad this week, I've actually not been hit too bad by them the last couple of years. Not as bad as I used to get hit.
