I have been following this regimen a couple of weeks and it is helping tremendously. I am anxious to get a couple dozen shots in before mid-April to see if they help.

My attacks last days/weeks and make me feel miserable, short tempered, and unable to concentrate. I am fed up and hope that my new regimen and allergy treatments give me relief. I noticed that I was breathing hard a lot this summer and fall even when my exertion level did not call for it. I just got back into cycling and it made me realize my sinuses were getting worse. The weather has been miserable since I started this regimen and I had a virus this week. I am anxious to get back riding and work out and see if I can breathe better!
