There is no doubt that at certain times of the year, pollens cause many people a distressing array of symptoms. These include hay fever, mucous, red eyes that itch intolerably, overheating and great tiredness. At times, particularly at night, difficulty in breathing may also be experienced.

As far back as 1867, Dr Charles Blackley of Manchester, noted that when pollen was placed on the skin it caused itching and swelling to some people. When pollen is inhaled, it makes contact with the mucous membrane, lining the nose, and absorbs water from the mucous. A substance, not yet identified, dissolves from the pollen and enters the bloodstream through the mucous membrane. It then becomes an antigen which the white cells and antibodies of the immune system would normally destroy.

Hello. I’ve had sinus pressure, head congestion, runny nose etc, for weeks now and it’s just killing me. Ruins everything and prevents me from getting work done. I’m behind in everything because I’m always lying down with sinus headaches. It’s due to seasonal allergies, but it’s really bad this year. I haven’t felt well since early September.

A complicating factor is that I’m in the first trimester of pregnancy, so that limits what I can take for relief. My OBGYN told me that Tylenol Cold & Sinus was fine, but it doesn’t work for me. Most other OTC meds are off limits.

Over the last year + I’ve seen alot of doctors for chronic symptoms that include, but are not limited to: Nasal problems, headache, ear ache, vision/hearing disturbances, chronic throat infections and tonsillitis. Nothing provides lasting relief – and I’ve been perpetually sick. Antibiotics and sprays seem to help, but within days of stopping, I get sick again. I went to an allergist, had a CT scan and a battery of allergy testing. The CT scan came back with some abnormalities, but the allergy testing was completely negative. Usually the dx is sinus infections. I saw a different specialist yesterday and he dx me with allergic rhinitis, nasal turbinate hypertrophy, deviated septum, and yes my tonsils have to come out (and he believes I have TMJ to boot). So, I am in the process of getting my CT films and my past records fwd to his office. My question is – how can someone have allergic rhinitis if allergy testing all came back negative? Any info appreciated! Thanks
I just figured out how to add details, Lol ! Okay as for the tests they did a skin prick allergy test and took blood to test my immunoglobins. Did a catscan which one doctor told me I had scar tissue on my sinuses that could be from exessive sinus infections not healing right, but the other doctor said that you cannot have scar tissue without having had surgery. One doctor said my catscan had some abnormalities (deviated septom, thickening where there shouldn’t be any, underdevelopment on one side) but the other doctor said he would bet it was not my sinuses but rather allergies (I didn’t have my CT with me, but he took an xray of my sinuses and said they looked fine, he said the severe headaches and other symptoms are probably from TMJ which I appear to have) So… With that being said, I am going to extend my answer time. Thanks everyone! P.S. I have tried Allegra, as well as several nasal sprays – none of them had much (if any) relief

Living with a soy allergy requires a lot of detective work, scrutinizing every label trying to find just the slightest clue connecting any given product with soy.  It requires patients, attention to detail, and knowing the facts, but sometimes coming in contact with the “dreaded bean” in some form or another can be unavoidable; take dining out for example.  When you go to a restaurant your fate is basically in the hands of the “man behind the curtain”, or apron as the case may be.  No matter how well you may have informed the wait staff, if even one person handling your meal is unfamiliar with the extent of the grip in which the soy industry has on the food industry you’re in for a rough night. 

Dealing with the symptoms of an allergic reaction to soy can surly be an uncomfortable and even painful experience.   Symptoms usually strike within an hour or so of ingesting the allergen, and can take on many forms.  For me the itchy hands and swollen downright painful knuckles is the first to surface, and signs of it can remain for a week or so.  I’ve been living with this food allergy for some time now, and as careful as I am and knowing what I know I still find myself from time to time wondering how, when, and where I came in contact?  It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s the 1st or the 20th reaction they don’t become any less stressful but I have found ways to help my body (and my mind) cope.  Because of my own personal beliefs concerning health and wellness, my methods are a natural approach to dealing with a food allergy.  That’s not to say I haven’t tried the “over the counter” medicinal approach, but I found these to work just as well with none of the side effects.
