I am the allergy QUEEN and I also have TED–fun, isn’t it? I find that Zyrtec works well for me when my symptoms act up, and when my eyes are really itchy an eye drop (Optcon A) helps. I try to avoid things like sudafed that “dry me out”. Also, a saline rince for your eyes- or bathing your eyes in milk (I know it sounds weird but it feels great!) really makes a difference for sore itchy eyes. Also, make sure if you’re sleeping with windows open, or with a fan blowing your direction, you’re protecting your eyes from allergens with a sleep mask or tape !

Good luck !

Oh Lordy, girl! You’re in good company. Even my last dr made a comment about me being “overly emotional”. The heat affects my emotions significantly as well– if it’s hot (like it has been here!) I want to either scream or cry. The heat also exausts me- and the more exhausted I am the more of a mess I am. Between the emotions and the constant hunger, I feel like its ALWAYS that time of the month. Lol.
