Do you have allergies? I do, but I don't know what I'm allergic too, something in the polluted air. I get sinus and congestion. But I don't have any allergies to food, thank goodness, ... or at least from what I know of. Do you have food allergies too? If so, for what?

Yes, I have allergies. I sneeze all the time, even when I don't have a cold. I know, I have the majority of my sinus problems in the spring and in the fall. I am allergic to hay, and will begin sneezing a lot when the hay is being cut. I have other allergies too, but I have never had an allergy test, so I don't know the extent of my allergies. My son, is allergic to almost everything, like: dust, mold, mildew, smoke, pollen, etc..I do not have any food allergies.

Sinus problems really suck because it distrubs our breathing. I'm glad you can eat regularly though... unless the sinus disturbs that too.

I have food allergies but don't know everything that I'm allergic to. Sometimes peanuts will give me hives and sometimes they won't. I am allergic to pork for sure. I have trouble with sinuses, too, and suspect an allergy, but don't know for sure. I went to an allergist and it cost me $150 for him to tell me to use generic Zyrtec twice a day. I took one pill and thought I was going to die. After experimenting on myself, I now take a quarter of a 10 gram pill only when hives or other symptoms bother me.

wow, that's expensive! Yeah, medications are always distributed to everyone in same doses when some of us or many of us don't need so much!

Well, as far as I know I have no food allergies. I do have allergies to certain weeds, and perfumes that give me instant headache, etc. One of the main issues I am seemed to be plagued with a lot though is allergies to medications. For some reason it seems like almost anything New I try either affects my Blood Sugar, gives me headaches, or generally does not work. Can be a pain when this happens.

So do I. We have the same allergies. I allergies to dust or polluted air but I don't have any allergies with food. However, I avoid myself from drinking ice or cold drink. Ice, cold drink and cold weather could trigger cough. I don't know whether that is called allergies because I always in the room with air conditioning. I don't have any problem in the air conditioning room.

I don't like air conditioned rooms too much because it hurts my head. It also dries my throat.
