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!

So, in the interest of furthering the research...? ;)
