Hey Googley,

Yep, I have showered before bed also. Not often but a few times. I never got the best fan though, must have been doing something wrong... Actually, my hay fever didn't kick in until the summer I turned 17, and then it came on hard. I took my nephew fishing at a local lake one day and boom, it started then right then.

You aren't in Atlanta are you? I remember one summer I was in Atlanta for work and they had a pollen count of 1400 something. There was a thick green dust on everything outside. We'd go park the car outside the hotel and in the morning it would be green. You could write your name in the pollen with your finger. all the stair railing were green, sidewalks, buildings, the stuff was like green snow. Good times! I don't remember what the plant was making it, some kind of wild plant or vine that loved that area. But fortunately it was not one of my hay fever triggers.

I wonder if you are eating something is causing your immune system to react? I know you are off gluten like me. But I kind of figure that if your immune system is reacting one thing it might be keyed up to react to other things more actively. So like if I am allergic to something I am eating I might react more strongly to plant allergens then. Just a thot. I did several elimination diets before I worked out my food intolerances. Gluten, casein, nightshades, carrots, soy. Once I got rid of all those my health took a turn for the better.

Well, I hope you feel better soon and get some anti-histamines that work well for you. Some of them can affect your mental state though. I had a reaction to one called trichlormastine fumerate, or some such thing. It made me mean, per my ex-wife. So I quit taking that stuff.
