Allergies make me sleepy and grumpy, but not angry. I just feel sluggish. But I don't have a bad problem - I just get sinus congestion if something in the air is bothering me.

You had mentioned before that when you go work with the horses, meal timing, snacks, etc get messed up. And I would bet your water consumption is affected too. It could be blood sugar issues.

Next time you go work with the horses, you could be really careful to get your food and water solid and on time, and see what happens.

It's also possible that allergies are giving you an adrenaline reaction and you are going into fight or flight. But first I'd look at the food and see if you get the same reaction if food and water are on time.

: Okay so I posted last week that I
: wanted to watch my Sundays because
: it seemed like Wednesdays were day
: fours for me. (At least the last
: two were). So I was very careful
: about last Sunday and even got up
: early to eat. Everything seemed to
: go very well. But today here it is
: again Wednesday and I am spitting
: nails. I am so angry I am scaring
: myself.

: So here is my question. Can allergies
: cause this type of reaction? Last
: week on Tuesday I did some
: volunteer work up at a horse
: ranch, only for a few hours. But
: the following I was in a very foul
: mood. (but I also know that it was
: a day four from something that had
: happened on Sunday – or was it?).
: But today I am soooo angry.
: Yesterday I spent about 5.5 hours
: up at the horse ranch. I know this
: might sound strange but I think
: the two might be connected. I have
: not volunteered up there for a few
: years. I remember back when I did
: a couple a years ago I felt really
: good there. But later that night I
: would become so agitated and
: angry. And it seemed to only be
: the days I was at the horse ranch.
: I don’t have allergies per say but
: according to my ENT doctor I am
: hypersensitive to everything. And
: I can tell today that my allergies
: are acting up as my ears are
: killing me – which means that my
: sinuses are having issues. (I
: don’t get sinus pain but I will
: get really bad earaches lately.
: Something to do with unequilized
: pressure in my ears from the
: sinuses. Have to take lots of
: sinus spray stuff to make it go a
: way.

: Next week with it being a holiday we
: will not have the pony camp that I
: am volunteering at so I will have
: to see if this happens next week.
: I do truly hate feeling like this.
: And the guy that I am training at
: work – I thought I was going to
: have him in tear a few times
: today. I hate the person I am when
: I feel like this.

: Yesterday’s meals were a little off
: as well. So that I am sure that
: did not help. Breakfast and lunch
: went well. But when I got home
: from the horse ranch I was a
: little hungry. I ate another meal
: about 3:30 but did not eat dinner
: until about 10:30. I normally eat
: at the 5 hour mark and it has been
: a very long time since I have
: pushed a meal past the 6 hours and
: that one was at the 7 hour mark –
: I think (I did not journal
: yesterday – not sure why). Did not
: journal today either. Oh my what
: is going on?
