My lot in life............. -
If it was not one thing....and then it WASN'T another...........well, that would really suck
-
Indeed.
Got the letter from the doc, heading back to Tunnel hill in the morning.
Oh..........and something I didn't expect..................
Confirmation that I suffer from allergies. -
-
-
and how did they do that?
they are saying this year (well up north here anyways but you run alot thru this area...) that seasonal allergies are the worst they ever have been due to the weather! I never suffered from seasonal allergies. Dave has them so bad he takes Claritan daily and sometimes that doesn't even work. This year though I have had a terrible time with them- runny eyes and nothing much is helping-on 2nd trial of pills and eye drops. What a pain....bad part is it makes it hard to see or read sometimes- a deterent to my job at times!!!Wedge Thanks this. -
I guess I should have been more specific. My doctor believes I am allergic to something in my truck. It could be dust, mold, anything impregnated into the fabric, anything. I've had cold like symptoms 4 times since being in this truck. He suggested taking Claritan until it clears up.
He also suggested that I should request being assigned to a different vehicle. I agree. Having cold like symptoms when I'm driving is no fun at all.
This is a much older truck than the last 2 Cascadias. It's due to be rotated out of the line-up soon. I'll see what they say when I talk to safety. -
That makes more sense now.
Just FYI from exerpience this year with seasonal allegies- You may have to to try several of the OTC drugs- claritain, Allegra etc. I tried Claritan for months and thought it was working and it was sorta-switched to Allegra a few weeks ago and better or what ever I am allergic too is winding down (Like trees or what ever).
Hopefully you get a new truck soon! -
That may be the answer, those things get nasty and are often overlooked.crazw Thanks this.
