Despite some perceived improvements in my qigong exercises, Pollen season has beat me by KO again. It seems to happen every April. My immune system goes haywire, producing too many histamines in response to allergens. Eventually somehow that breaks me down, kicks my butt, and knocks me flat with some kind of bad cold. I need to convince the family to move to the desert.

Incredible… you are describing my exact symptoms.
I couldn’t figure out forever why I seemed to get colds at the drop of a hat. I never thought it would be something so mundane as hay fever but that’s what it seems to be. Antihistamines help a lot.
Man it’s really aggravating isn’t it? I do take medicine and try to avoid being outside for very long, but the whole thing seems to catch up and take its toll before long as my energy level drops and my constitution weakens. Grr. I’m thinking extended desert vacation next year.
