Hi, ok i'll list my sypmtoms first. I have fairly bad PND, its pretty thick
and i often get pretty sore from trying to swallow all the time. I have some
sinus discomfort from time to time, but i wouldn't call it pain. Probably
the worst symptom is that I get lethargic and have trouble concentrating
most of the time. I've had at least one nose bleed every day the last week.
I've also been getting a fair amount of digestive disruption, indigestion
and such like. Oddly (i guess) i dont have any mucus down the front of my
nose, thats totaly clear, i rarely get anything down it asside from when i
get nose bleeds. Oh and i often have black rings under my eyes, but that
could be cause i dont sleep as much as I should.

Now my Doc has tried me on 2 nasal sprays since this started (3 months),
well since he finaly took notice of how bad it was. Thing is i had a good
initial reactions to both, but they both seemed to tail off in their
effiacy. And now after 2 months on the second (Flixonase) it has pretty much
stoped working at all.

Also it seems not to matter whether I am inside, in bed, or in a feild full
of pollen, my rhinitus & PND stay fairly level.

I am however starting to consider that this may all be down to a food alergy
or an food intolerance. And i dont know what to do next. I have tried
cutting some obvious things from my diet with little success, but being a
veggie if i cut out wheat and dairy im left with next to feck all to eat :-(

So i am considering getting food allergy or intolerance testing done, but i
dont know which i should go for, or if there is much difference.

Any advice or sugestings would be very welcome. And thanks for reading, if
any of you made it this far ;-)
