Then last night I kept waking up. My eyes would be itchy, nose stuffed up and coughing. It would settle down and I'd fall back asleep - only to wake up about 20mins later with the same thing.
At about 4am I put it together that it coincided with the furnace (forced air) kicking on and the duct right by my bedside giving me a new dose of whatever has settled into our air ducts. We run high allergy filters, but the windy weather probably blew a bunch of stuff all over the house from outside and it hasn't gotten filtered out yet.
I'm mildly allergic to a bunch of things (including some foods) - but grass, cottonwood trees and ragweed can absolutely put me in a catatonic state in a matter of minutes.
Thank goodness for Sudafed. I feel much better today.
