    Are you sick?...I am, and it's not because I'm a fanatic...I am blowing bodily fluid all over the place, and you'd think I would be sleeping...No...My wife thinks I shouldn't think about anything but sleeping...So here I sit, while she sleeps like a baby...Maybe I should wake her up, just because...
    Every Late August, Early September this happens....same symptoms...My face feels like its on fire...My eyes get red to the point of looking repossessed or something...I sneeze 17 times a day...other symptoms include headache, extra nasal drip (for a better word), and did I mention just how REDRUM my eyes get?!?...Man, I hate this cycle....The bad thing is I've seen the doctor for this before...Nothing can be done....Antibiotics don't help...Only thing is letting it run it's course....Problem is for 4 to 6 days I feel like all I'm doing is surviving...

    Please say others are in miserary also...Even if you aren't, just lie to make me feel better...;) :(

    I had a friend that everytime he was sick took 2 of the blue nyquil(NIGHTTIME) and 2 red nyquil(DAYTIME) all at once...I thought he was crazy, but he was never sick for more than a day...So i asked my doctor about nyquil and he said they have no medical benefit, he said its like takeing shots of rum it will only relax you..Stange how it worked for my friend...I am not dumb enough to try it, just thought it was a funny story...Well, hope you feel better soon..

    You're not sick, you have allergies, and you're not alone. My allgergy problems come just after flu season is over.... Everyone always thinks I just catch it late, but I don't.

    If you don't want to continue this year after year after year for the rest of your life, look into taking preventive antihistamines like claritin or zyrtec or any of the other allergy medicines. You take them just before your allergy fits occur every year, like in mid august... But then you couldn't call in sick like synergy's boss ;)
