Hi Jack,
for about 2 years I had a lot of problems such as blocked nose, running
nose, sneezing all the time, headache, swollen eyes until the point
where I completely lost my sense of smell, I could not breath properly
especially at night and my eyes were almost closed every time I woke up
and real difficulties in concentrating. Of course this is nothing
compared to anaphylactic attacks but it made my life miserable.
I tried many many things and I saw many doctors with no results. Very
recently one of them made me do (don't know why it took so long) a blood
test for allergens (or something like that) it was general, for inhaling
agents (like pollens and pollution ...), dust mites, graminaceous and
other things. I only resulted allergic to milk eggs and apples.
I am at the moment on a trial using cortisone nasal spray and
antistaminic tablets. I feel much much better. I feel like a normal
person again.
Thanks.
Davide.
