Summer here in the SF Bay Area was ushered in by 5 Spare the Air days (3 of which were official) right in a row. Ever since I’ve been low-level miserable. I tried to very good and stay indoors, trying not to exert myself. This is probably why it wasn’t until the air quality began to improve that my asthma caught on. *ugh*

While my asthma has improved, my allergies in general have been annoying. The worst part being the off-and-on ear drum pain alternating with itchiness. So, I went to the doctor on Tuesday cause it didn’t look like it wanted to clear up on its own. Thankfully, she told me that it’s just fluid pressure and not an infection. Then, she gave me samples of Singulair to try out for both the allergies and the asthma.

I’m only on my second day, but I’m not sure what I think of it. It does seem to help at night (I take it in the evening, and it’s a once a day pill) even though it does seem to make me drowsy. But, today, I feel horribly draggy, and I don’t know if I’m simply tired, or if it’s the medicine. I think the reason I’m confised is because it’s not that drugged tired feeling most allergy medicines give me, it’s exhausted tired.

I’m supposed to try it out for a few weeks, and if it doesn’t work it’s on to something else.
