Hay-fever

[flick]

My mother had hay-fever when she was younger, and it went away entirely when she was pregnant with my sister.

My sister has always had really horribly terrible hay-fever, and childhood eczema, and dust allergies.

When my mother was pregnant with me, her hay-fever came back.

I've never had hay-fever, or indeed any allergy in my life.

We've always put the whole thing down to some sort of pregnancy / immune system weirdness. However....

I've been sneezing for the last four or five days, and feel otherwise fine. Bah! I guess it's caught up with me at last.

I never had it when I was younger but I understand that it hits some people later in life, of whom I am one. Unfortunately. I take prescription anti-histamines which seem to deal with the worst of it.

So far, it's just sneezing for me. Hopefully it will stay that way!
