WAS IT A GOOD "ALLERGY"- SUMMER?

Yes, the allergies were doing great, me not so much. I love summer and warm weather. But the summer and grass pollen did not love me back. This year was pretty bad for Luxembourg. A lot of people even without the allergies felt stuffy and bothered.

For me it was the constantly blocked nose, the dry skin, the extra bloating and the reaction to any food with severe IBS symptoms. I have not had a glass a wine nor eaten in a restaurant without consequences for months. Now, we are in September and I am much better already. Full of energy and I can see a bit further. Lovely.

So much so, that I am embarking on the journey of ‘grass’ desensitization this coming December. The doctor already warned me, it might not work, but it is worth a shot. I will keep you posted.

Did you try? And what did you do to prepare?
