Donating blood

[pne]

Looks as if I survived. I still feel a bit weak, though, even after having eaten and drunk and rested a bit.

I'm not sure if it worked. We started it while we were living near Ottawa, where there is much plant life and pollen and stuff. But then we moved up to Yellowknife, which is quite barren. I didn't suffer from allergy problems up there, but there wasn't much to be allergic to, either.

Now that I'm back in temperate climes (British Columbia), I do suffer allergy symptoms, but nowhere near as bad as when I was a kid. I use a corticosteroid nasal spray (Nasonex) and some kind of eye drops (Alocril) to alleviate the symptoms.

Heh, funny. I use Nasonex, too, especially to get to sleep sometimes when my nose is a bit stuffy.

And during the summer, I buy loratadine tablets (the active ingredient of, for example, Claritin) against itchy eyes and runny nose.
