There’s a lot in my head that I want to share with the world, but the idea of writing up all it in a way that I feel much of it deserves to be written is too overwhelming for me right now.

I finally bit the bullet and I had my first visit with my new ENT doctor last week and went for testing yesterday. My arms are now covered in red dots. I have some new medications in my arsenal and I’m starting sublingual drops in two weeks. Sublingual drops are new on the scene and my out-of-pocket expense for those (which can be administered at home) are about the same for the equivalent copays for office administered shots.
I’m thankful to know that it’s something that can be treated. By April, I should be off almost all the medicines (except nose sprays on an as needed basis) and should be feeling better.
It’s time to get my fall/winter running started now that I can breathe though my nose.
BRING IT!
