Sweetie, please get some vitamin C! I have HORRID allergies, was on prescription meds for 25 - count them - 25 years. I started on 1000mgs of the C per day in the fall of 2002 and have only needed a handful of Claritin-D since. Even during hayfever season, I got by with only 1 Claritin-D a week. I'd been on the stuff daily for over 7 years! Sometimes I would even take 2 Claritin-D 24 hours in one day. UGH. My sinuses are in much better condition too, the Vitamin C builds up and strenghtens your mucus membranes so things like allergens and viruses cannot penetrate them so easily. I don't get canker sores so often either. I never believed the C would help, but damn do I wish I'd tried it sooner. Just try it, OK! I know exactly how miserable you are... Snotty Mc Snotterson!

Oh...oh my God. Okay, seriously? I've never had allergies. Ever. But ever since I've read this entry, my hand to God, I've been sneezing up a storm! What IS that?!?!?! Clearly, this diary is magical if it can affect someone across the country through a computer.
