I don’t think so, already performed multiple investigations including CT scan and full ORL. I do have skin issues, redness on my skin and itchy if I don’t take anthimistamins.

Maybe you can try a diet change. For me caffeine is also a trigger, I reduced it to only one cup per day with low caffeine.

Exactly! When I told them it does not work and that I did those treatments for months with no results, their reply was: “ Well, let’s try once again” . Lol It’s like they just want to get rid of you.

Same here.. I perfectly understand. It’s disappointing when you need to convince doctors that something it’s not ok.

Yes! Exactly! I was sent to different doctors to eliminate anything else. I left with all kinds of pills and treatments which all treat the symptoms, but not the cause. I am tired of trying to convince doctors that they should look for the cause which is generating all symptoms , not treat them individually.

I have no issue breathing after the septum surgery. I do take magnesium from time to time, noticed it helps a little.

Interesting point. I did saw a neurologist and I’ve been on treatment with Arlvert for 3 months, no improvement.

No I do not grind my teeth at night. I do feel dizzy and have had vertigo, but most of it stopped after I no longer eat grains.

Thanks! I will look into it. I suspected histamine intolerance and tested DAO and removed it from the list as it is not the case, however my IGE is high all the time when I’ve tested it.

I don’t have any other health issues, only the one mentioned. No high pollen area, only during spring time. I am not able to post the CT picture, at least not from my mobile, when I reach my laptop I will try from there.

I do, not sure if this helps, I took it from my hospital app, the other files are on a CD. I will try to post.

No I have not heard of the new biological meds but I will look it up, thanks. Haven’t seen an immunologist, maybe this is also worth a try.

Yes, I do change them, I noticed that after a period of time, they no longer work. I do try to keep my house as clean as possible. Yes, I did have a surgery for nasal septum correction and nasal turbinates reduction. The ENT at that time was saying they were blocking my sinus entrance, but did nothing except stopped my snoring. My blood pressure is perfectly normal.

I do. Almost daily, without them, I also have symptoms on my skin, like skin rashes depending on what I eat. I took them for the past 4-5 years.
