😻 Living with 3 cats

My spouse and I love living with our 3 cats: Xena (adopted in February 2021), Sophie (adopted in October 2022), and Midna (adopted in August 2023). Their presence brings a lot of joy and laughter.

🌲 Trying to overcome lifelong allergies

I've been highly allergic to many plants, animals, and other things for as long as I can remember. Thankfully, consistently taking allergy drops has seemed to reduce the prevalence and intensity of my allergy symptoms.

In early March 2024, aspects of the changing season (increased pollen counts and wind) triggered some unpleasant and severe allergy symptoms. I searched online for potential solutions (other than just taking an antihistamine) and learned about sublingual immunotherapy allergy drops, which are basically allergy shots without the shots. I got a prescription from an online healthcare company and I’ve been taking the allergy drops every day since 3/18/2024. The drops contain some of the main things I’m allergic to, and the purpose of taking them every day is to gradually condition my body/immune system to stop responding strongly to those allergens.
