Vasomotor Rhinitis and the Evil Air Conditioner

Over the weekend we were staying in a hotel for my sister’s graduation and boy did I get sick.  There were massive changes in temperature this weekend in Williamsburg and I didn’t bring warm clothing.  Yet at night, the weather got super hot!  Then, my hotel had the dryest, most horrible, crusty air coming out of it’s air conditioner and I felt illness hit me like a ton of bricks overnight.  Now I feel like crap.   Air conditioners and heaters can be so dangerous for people with extreme vasomotor rhinitis to be around.  I need to start avoiding the really crusting unclean ones as much as I can.  They have a tendency to blow dust and nasty particles in the air all over your room.  Hopefully my Neti Pot will help get me through this.  I want this cold to go away and not develop into anything more serious.  I’m nervous that my body is starting to resist antibiotics because I get sick so often.   Maybe I should look into acupuncture, like one of my readers suggested.  I’m just so nervous about having needles stuck into my face and sinus cavities.  Oy.
