Need to Vent

Okay, I need to vent to someone and my poor boyfriend has had to put up with me enough yesterday.
Lately, I don't think I've had a single healthy day for 3 weeks straight. The first week, I had horrible IBS flare-ups due to my period that I got the second week. With my period, came awful cramps that I can't take motrin for anymore. I also had horrible IBS attacks the second week, which normally calm down when I'm having to deal with menstrual cramps. Finally, all this calmed down on Saturday - only to have to deal with horrible allergies!
I took claritin yesterday morning and went to a car show with my boyfriend, sister, and her boyfriend (a good friend of mine). It took 5 minutes of being outside before I started sneezing like crazy! By the time we left, my head felt like it was going to explode, and my eyes were swollen and red from itching so much!  So I took another claritin when I got back to my boyfriend's house (they're supposed to last 24 hrs) and ended up just feeling extremely drugged instead of better.
Needless to say, this added to the frusteration of being sick all the time and I started crying out of the blue. My poor guy thought it was something he did when I ducked out of the bbq we were having and went home crying.
Today is a little better. I took some nose-stuff that my doctor prescribed (has a horrible taste when it drips down and doesn't seem to do much good) and another claritin. I feel exauhsted and can't stop coughing - which is weird because coughing was never one of my allergy symptoms. 
Anyone else get frusterated when they seem to get over one thing, only to get stuck with another health problem? 
Thanks for listening!
