Just curious

Has anyone that has completed treatment noticed that they have developed allergies or allergic reaction to stuff? I have never had allergies and if I garden I get a rash, if I mow I feel like crap which I am guessing is from allergies that I have never had. Or could this be something else. I know our immune systems aren't what they used to be but I have felt like crap for about 2 weeks and the pollen levels are extremely high here now, any thoughts? Yes I know minor but just curious.

Also, has anyone heard from Coolbreeze? Hope she is ok.

Re: Just curious

Hi there,
Yes, I got a fabulous new spectrum of allergies after treatment. I'm also extremely sensitive to pressure changes and weather changes. If they are too drastic, I usually end up in bed feeling horrible. I have constant post nasal drip and my sinuses never recovered from Taxol. They swell up when the pollen count goes up and I get face pains. It's so unbelievable annoying but I put up with it. Oh, and did I mention the pollen rash I get on my left cheek? I look like a tween going through puberty during the Spring.

Coolbreeze is doing well from what I can tell. I follow her on Facebook. She's quite the busy one.
