I have a, usually, mild form of hay fever. Which bothers me from May until July-ish. Since it's August I thought it was time to stop with the antihistamines. That was on Wednesday. Last night I woke up itching all over. Which means my heat/sun allergy is flaring up this year.
It's not like I have it every year. Since puberty I had it only a hand full of time, the last time was the summer of 2013. But I know it's triggered by stress, and it's been a stressful year. So I shouldn't be surprised.
At first I didn't realize it might be my allergy, I though it was dry skin. So I put on some lotion. Which of course didn't work. After an hour it I realized it was my allergy and after taking the antihistamines the itching disappeared within 15 minutes.
So I'm back on Cetirizine until the weather cools down, I'll probably play it safe and take them until the end of September.
