I was reading through another thread and someone mentioned allergies which inspired me to post this. Spring and fall allergies have been an ongoing issue for the last two decades with me. Every spring I would get so congested that I could only breath through my mouth while at the same time my nose would drip incessantly. In addition to my nasal misery, my eyes would become bloodshot and burn and itch like they had been sand blasted . This would go on for months and the only relief I was able to get was from nasal sprays that were too potent to use beyond three days, which I used for months. One day an acquaintance told me about his cure from seasonal allergies and referred me to his allergist. The doc put me through the series of tests and determined that I was allergic to pretty much everything. In January I started bi-weekly shots, one in each arm. Today I am down to once a week and expect to be at once a month by July. The results have been nothing short of a miracle. I have only used the nose spray twice this year and that was over a month ago. March and April used to be so miserable to me that I wouldn't feel fit to fly. I even had a hard time working. Those of you who don't deal with allergies won't understand but for those of you who do, there is a cure and it has changed my life. If even one person is helped by this it is worth it to me. Don't continue to suffer needlessly, allergy shots work!
