by losfeliz1970, Nov 05, 2009 01:36PM
HI there i have had the worst allergies for a year to date.  i live in los angeles and their onset was last year, in 2008 during fire season.  i have never suffered from allergies before.  initially i had a a severe cold.  igot better but my nose never cleared.  i have severe tickling in the nose, extreme sneezing fits and have only not been able to breat out of my nose for a year.  i am constantly blowing my nose too.

i have seen three doctors.  i am on clarinex and a steroid nasal spray.  the only temperary relief i get is from the neti pot (nasal irrigation), if i can get the water thru my nose!!!

does anybody have any magic for me, and i really mean magic!!!!!!

thanks!

Hi,
How are you? Continue your antihistamine medication and nasal spray. The best management of allergies is to avoid the trigger or allergen responsible for your symptoms. Were you able to have an allergy testing done? This will help in determination of the triggers. Allergy testing includes skin tests ( scratch/ ***** test or patch test), elimination-type tests and blood tests. I hope this helps. Take care and do keep us posted.
