Both times, (went to a different doctor the second time)I was told I was allergic to "dust mites" only... Unless I chose to wrap everything that I sleep on in plastic, I'm SOL... That was several years ago. I still feel that there is a connection with the production of histamines in my body, so I've been on Drixoral (OTC) 12 hour anti-histamine/ decongestant. I stopped taking them months ago, and went to a nasal spray.(I know, you're supposed to use them in strict moderation) Since this recent cycle began, I've gone back on the antihistamines, and I can't say yet if there is a reduction, but I'm hoping that with the aid of Verelan,(verapamil)I can shorten the cycle. I've been on Verelan for 6 years, and started receiving a generic brand for some reason, and I feel certain that there is a relation there... I'll keep you posted...
