It is a truth universally acknowledged that the minute you have a sniffle, look a bit tired or start sneezing and itching yourself into a frenzy that people will a) take a step back and b) start to offer you some useless piece of advice.
Now, I have been known to offer my medicinal advice from time to time, but when people do it to me it drives me INSANE.
As a chronic allergy sufferer I frequently look puffy, red eyed, snotty etc during the day. You offering your advice does not make me feel better. In fact it just draws my attention to the fact that I look like hell. Cheers for that!
For everyone’s future reference, I have had severe allergies since I was 12 years old. I am immune to practically every antihistamine commercially available. Rhinocort does not help and I can pop the super strength Claryitine like a Tic Tac. Not only this, but I have gone down the naturopathic herbal acupuncture route as well.. so please don’t tell me about your natural miracle cure! Nothing works. And it’s not some stupid fad reaction to Gluten or Dairy either.
With (according to the second allergy specialist I have visited) severe allergies to SEVEN types of pollens and grasses Australia wide (and don’t forget those dustmites) I have found only one cure for the never ending eye itchiness….
Moving to the UK.
So unless you can offer me a free plane ticket, please shut up.
