This is the time of year when I traditionally took extra antihistamines, but then I stopped when I realised that the pseudoephedrine in them was making me hyper, jittery and jumpy. Then a couple of months ago I saw a documentary about Meth labs and found out what the basic ingredient was... I'm officially not classy enough for speed! Hurrah!
Nosebleeds... Preventative I don't know (but maybe a doctor could prescribe you a spray for your poor nose). The in the meantime recommendation is to keep a wet flannel in a plastic bag in the fridge and hold that over your irritated nose to cool it down a bit.
Ouch!
