If you are suffering everyday, that means you are actually allergic to, or intolerant of far many things than you know of.

Research the Low Histamine Diet and Histamine Intolerance . You may be eating foods that are making you sick.

Research also the Elimination-Rotation Diet .

Research also the Blood Type Diet .

I feel you and had experience like yours, allergen shots will do and antihistamine to ease allergies but consult a doctor first.

Of course hygiene is very important try to clean more often your surroundings, if you can use an air purifier to filter the dust in your area. Avoid moldy places too and do avoid pollen season.

Let your home or your area breath a fresher air, open windows as much as possible, so molds won't form, if opening windows can't be avoided, use a dehumidifier to dry the area.

Aside from taking antihistamine,, have you tried to purify your air? Air Purifiers trap pollens, allergens and dust particles to prevent them floating around the room. and these dust and pollens are the culprit of your allergies.

You might try xLear Nasal spray which contains saline and Grapefruit extract. This caused die off of after using it for a few days but the first few days I felt much better. I felt very sick but it might work for you. I am now spraying my nose several times a day with a saline spray which I made myself. It works pretty well. Just get a an empty spray bottle and fill it with some warm water and some salt. Be sure it is not too salty so taste it first. I also use acupressure under my cheekbones (sinus passages). Also gargle your mouth and throat with salted water a couple of times a day. Hope this is of some help to you. You can contact me if you want any other information...Best Wishes. Hope you are feeling much better very soon.

What changed in your life one year ago? You must have done something that upset your immune system.

Did you get a new dog? Dog dander can cause cascading allergies.

Did you move into a new house or apt? Mold in your environment can cause cascading allergies.

Did you move to a new city that has major air pollution? Did you get a new job? Indoor air pollution can be a major factor.

Think really hard about what you changed in your life a year ago. Then reverse that change.

Also consider that major immune system problems like yours can take more that a year to develop. So think of what changed in your life TWO or even THREE years ago.Please let us know what changed.

I understand what you're going through. Like you, I had such debilitating allergies and nothing seemed to help relieve the congestion. I was so desperate I tried some crazy things, like sinus rinses with baby shampoo. I was on Zyrtec, Flonase, Sudafed and Mucinex and was still miserable.

Have you tried Singulair? It turns out it really helps specifically with sinus inflammation caused by allergies. I added that to my regimen and within a day, I felt better. The key is to keep taking it even when you feel well. It prevents the inflammatory process from breaking down the epithelium in your sinuses, which snowballs into worsened allergies.

Also, most people don't know that a thyroid issue can cause sinus congestion. Most doctors don't even think about it since it's not a main symptom for most people - unless you already have allergies and then any added congestion means this becomes the MAIN complaint. A thyroid problem can also make your allergies themselves worse.

Do you drink tea? Do you swim in a pool? Exposure to bromine, chlorine and fluoride (tea plant) will affect your thyroid hormones over time. These all compete for the same receptors as Iodine in your body, thereby replacing iodine, a necessary nutrient for many bodily functions. This was my problem, and now my congestion is almost gone. Search for "Tea, Fluoride and Iodine" to read my story.

Blood tests for TSH may appear normal even when there is a thyroid issue. The only way to be sure is to get the T4 and Free T3 checked as well. Even then, these values do not tell the whole story. Ideally, you can find a really really old doctor who still remembers how to use the ankle reflex test and other clinical tests for thyroid, not just blood tests. High cholesterol is another indicator of thyroid issues that is not well known.

Hope this helps :)
