Have you seen an ENT about those allergies? See post 141. The reason my allergies caused so much grief was a combination of structural issues with my sinuses, and the dry desert air that didn't agree with me after 30+ years of living at the beach. Don't take it lightly. By the way, for anyone with sinus issues, I recommend skipping the neti pot, and going straight to the Neil Med Sinus Rinse. Easier to use, and much more effective.
