Imagine if someone slammed a hammer on your thumb. An ordinary amount of pressure would hurt. Because things are already irritated, some minor irritant can set it off.Hard to say what caused it, maybe the pollution I sucked in riding.
But the result is I get the symptoms.
Have you tried using your inhaler before you go out? Have you tried using antihistamines. Before you get on some really powerful medicine, explore your options.
A half a Tavist helps me.
Ah, but I have been tested for allergies. I do get sinus attacks which put my nose to running at an unbelievable rate for a short time, three or four times a year, but they've never found a particular allergen causing it, and this is very different.
