Had my annual allergist check in today. All's well and I go back in a year. He recommended that I change from using a decongestant to using more antihistamine instead. BUT! The antihistamine he suggested is a first generation sort that crosses the blood brain barrier. Moreover, that would just dry me out more while the issue when I'm trying to go to sleep is a STUFFY nose. It would also make me sleepy, which is fine if I can breathe well, but NOT GOOD if I'm too stuffed to breathe. I really think doctors too often just follow the AMA flow chart and don't see the whole picture. At least I refused to be weighed routinely, since it had nothing to do with my condition or diagnosis. I'm really annoyed by the way docs just tick off the ol' AMA boxes. Why do we have to be weighed at every doctor visit? Once a year is plenty. I have a scale at home. Ha!

P.S.: Murmansk is the headquarters of the Russian Northern Fleet, as well as an LNG export terminal, which I think was attacked a while back.
