Saw the ENT today for my initial appointment. He checked things out in my nose and throat, no polyps or anything obvious. From my history and answers to some questions he is pretty much presuming that I have allergies of some kind that is keeping my nasal passages inflamed. So when I got sick last time it just made it all worse, the allergies is preventing it all from going back to normal, and so my throat can’t recover. Sounds about right to me. *sigh* He also said that I will get polyps if it’s allowed to stay in this yucky state.

So we’ve scheduled a full allergy screen for next tuesday. At the end of that they should be able to tell me what it is that I’m allergic to and what I can do to start feeling better.

Fucking allergies, man.

I feel like who I am is being stripped away one later at a time. I know allergies seems like a small issue to complain about. But I was never the girl who had allergies. Now I am. Every time I turn around there is something else foisted on me that completely redefines me. I don’t even know who I am anymore.
