i have had THE WORST allergies since i was a kid. i was always sad that
i couldnt have a pet. (now i've grown a little out of the cat allergy
but now i think they are disgusting!)
anyways, i'd be interested to see if there is a correlation between
allergies and pcos. my allergies are still pretty bad though claritin
helps alot. sigh...one more pill i have to take!
but it's definitely better than the alternative - sneezing throughout
meetings and in the car...that's the worst!
