This cannot possibly be happening.

I started sneezing at dinner. If you've ever been out to eat with me, you know: I eat, then I sneeze. It's just what I do. My Dad's the same way. I didn't think anything of it.

Then I got home, and kept sneezing.

Now my eyes are made of sandpaper, my throat is burning, and my nose is running.

This CANNOT be happening Philcon weekend. I missed a day last year from being sick. What the FUCK???

Try some homemade chicken soup... sear the chicken with some cayenne pepper before adding it to the broth/veggies. It sometimes helps; something about the pepper and the broth tends to clear out the sinuses.

Oh you have the same thermal allergy I do. My father has it too.

I eat, I sneeze.

A what allergy?

[bronxelf-ag001.livejournal.com]

thermal. Does it happen when you go from a very hot to cold environment and vice versa?

We've been told it's just a reaction to a sudden change in temperature, such as when your body begins digesting food.

No, though in some extremes, I'll sometimes-- very rarely-- get a headache. And the food thing seems to happen only when I'm out, not when I eat at home.
