  I used to have allergy problems. I had 6 years of immuno therapy by an allergist (from 1978 to 1984). He was the best Doctor I have ever known. He listened and cared. If I had a problem, he did all he could to solve it. In 1998 I had nasal surgery to fix a deviated septum and oversized turbinates. In 2000, we moved to Texas. All 3 of these improved my allergies but I still had sinus headaches and I could go through a box of kleenex on a bad day. Since doing the weight loss cure in May, I have not taken 20 doses of sinus meds (holistic now). I used to take more than that every week and have that many on a bad day. I much prefer the holistics now as the other stuff had some really bad side effects.

  Barrington-they don't break your nose for nasal surgery,I had it to remove polyps and it doesn't hurt at all,just get a dry throat for a while.I get hayfever so I know what you mean about nasal sprays and inhalers.Oh the joys of summer!I find that breathing exercises help and eucalyptus oil in a burner is always sure to relieve the sinuses and everyone elses in close proximity lol!

  For homeopathic meds, go to a health food store. I go to Whole Foods in Austin. It works better and without risky side effects. I used to use chlorophenomirine malate (spell check didn't know this one). It was $3.25 for 50 at WalMart-over the counter. It didn't seem like a bad thing. I found it to have sexual side effects. Very unpleasant.
  The weight loss actually helped more than the nasal surgery, but it was also years after the surgery.

This group is for anyone who needs someone to talk to. If there is something on your mind we will listen. A great way to make some new friends and not only will we listen but we will also be a shoulder to lean on.
