Is It A Cold…Or Is It Allergies?

I have been sick three – THREE – times since February. I know, suppressed immune system (so that you don’t reject the baby, which is, of course, half-comprised of someone else entirely), etc etc…but I am sick to death of being deathly sick.

When I woke up all sorts of miserable yesterday, though, I thought that maybe the intense heatwave had brought on heretofore unknown allergies (everyone else seems to be complaining about them). This would be an especially bad thing, because while the typical cold lasts just a few days, allergies can go on…and on…and on. Or so I hear. I don’t think I’ve ever had them.

Or have I?

Very confused.

Enter this helpful chart from WebMD (thanks to Christine for the link):

As it turns out, I totally do not have allergies.

Probably.
