Definitely visit an Allergist... They'll test you for everything & see what you react to.

Since you're waking up in the morning with a runny nose - that sounds like it could be a dust mite allergy (due to your bedding)... easy to fix with covers...

I wouldn't recommend Benadryl personally because it makes me/others I know VERY drowsy... I find a 24 hour claritin or claritin-generic (CVS or WalMart brand) works wonders... Your allergist will point you in the right direction.

Good luck!

go to an Allergist. Sounds like you may have latex allergies, as well as seasonal or chemical allergies.  They can run an allergy panel to test you after you discuss what happens and when it happens...if you are getting hives - does benedryl help control them? It should... best of luck!
