@Eruca: Gets even more ridiculous from there: still felt bad, called work, they said not to come in until i'd seen a doctor. had to wait another day 'cause doctor isn't open sundays. Talked to doctor for a few minutes on the phone and she said it was allergies, told me to just take some Mucinex and hot showers. :'| Runny nose/cough/throat irritation have increased since then, so maybe it is allergies? But this is some severe allergies, and the medicine isn't doing much to help. So now I get to work with my nose constantly running and my throat itchy... for the next several weeks, I guess, since you don't just get over allergies like you do a cold/flu. Nice.

@Eruca: I assume pollen since it's that time of year. Juts weird for me because I've never really had pollen allergies. I have rhinitis normally, where my nose runs a little because I'm sensitive to anything in the air. But it's never severe, and seasonal changes have never made it worse or brought on other symptoms.. Stress as an exacerbating factor makes sense, though. Pretty damn stressed these days ;v;
