Oh, Mountain Cedar

I am coming to terms with the fact that I am allergic to Mountain Cedar. Almost everyone in San Antonio has some sort of reaction to Mountain Cedar every January. I thought I was immune, until now.

Last year at this time I saw a doctor for an upper respiratory infection and a sinus infection. Last year I was pregnant, so I thought it had something to do with that. I saw that same doctor again this year for the very same symptoms. She said it was Mountain Cedar. I mentioned that I have lived here for 13 years and I have never had a problem with it. She pointed out that it effects you more as you get older. Hooray for getting older.

I got my prescription for a z-pack and left her office. I’ll probably be there again next year for the same thing.

Today is my fifth day being sick, but the drugs are beginning to work. I think the coughing and the head pain is the worst. I began to feel almost normal once my headache started to subside yesterday. Hopefully, I will feel well again by the end of the week! I got stuff to do.
