Ah...viva Claritin! Took it at about 10:30am and have been able to breathe though my nose ever since. No more sneezing either. I've not been coughing and my throat doesn't feel so constricted. This is all a Very Good Thing. My chest/lungs still feel like there's more weight pressing on them then there should be, but it seems minor compared to the relief I feel about just being able to breathe. It definately seems like it's a allergy issue since this worked so well, but the only thing I'm worried about is fluid issues with my lungs. Since it still feels so heavy on my chest and since I still feel like I can't draw a full breath, it makes me a bit nervous. But I never would have been able to make it even this far had this stuff not worked as well as it has.

Thankfully it's almost 1pm, I'm just about done for the day and I feel a little better. Yeah for small joys in life. :)
