After going home for Easter, and being exposed to sickness (thanks little brother), I suffered from an unrelenting cold. This allowed me to explore my campus even further to discover the health center; positives, don't you know. I received the earth shattering news that I had a cold and nothing could be done. This answer sufficed for one week, and then another, but by the third this "cold" diagnosis was not going to cut it.
I got to visit another doctor because I am at home now (lucky me- genuinely for being home and factitiously for getting to visit another doctor). This health professional informed me that I could now join the happy club of people with allergies. Yippee.
Some nose sprays and Sudafed pills later, I am feeling much better but not completely myself. I suppose I should count myself fortunate since I avoided this seasonal headache for 19 years, but not being able to open the windows on beautiful days and sneezing when outside is just so sad. At least my fatal diagnosis was wrong ;)
