Oklahoma Allergies

One bad thing about moving back to Oklahoma is the allergies. Both Chris and I are experiencing bad allergies of the nighttime. We both caugh really badly, and when we breath, it sounds like we're whistling. It is not good.
It got so bad I went to Walgreens last night and talked to the pharmasist. He sugested Musinex DM, or the off brand, so we got the Walgreens brand, and it's worked great. It does knock you out, so watch out. I'm still stuffed up in my sinus cavities, but not as badly... I can at least breath through one side. As long as I don't breath out my mouth I don't whistle, and it doesn't hurt like it did.
I'm still going to try and get us both in to see an allergy specialist. I think I saw one here in Owasso.

MS and Eastern Medicines

One of my MS friends asked me about my travels into China Town today, this is what I wrote:

I actually didn't have to get the acupuncture. The Dr. reccomended some herbal stuff I'm going to try for 5 days and go back and report on results. But while I was in China Town I got a foot massage with reflexology. My feet and legs have been numb to the core and I've had that all over electric tingly feeling any time my body is at rest. And of course, the dizziness has been so rediculous I've been walking drunk even with a cane! But the foot massage (with japanese reflexology - it's really deep tissue) really helped a lot that! I can tilt my head and roll over in bed without getting dizzy; I immediately lost that electric tingly feeling!; I have feeling in my feet and legs; and this was all today. I am completely amazed. They said I should get it once a week or so, I totally agree... so should you!
