allergies and ENS
Dr. Houser, I hope this message finds you well. As you know, and have seen, about 80% of my MTs and 20% of my ITs have been removed. I've had a lot of problems with burning, and am getting a bit of relief with Lyrica. Breathing has never been a big problem for me. But all of a sudden, I think due to allergies, I can't breathe out of my nose at all. It is completely blocked. But I have no mucus to blow out. My nose doesn't run. It doesn't drain. It's just stuffed up. My allergies have always flared up a bit in the early summer, but this is crazy. And it's so frustrating not being able to blow my nose. I think that perhaps my nose is generating some gunk that is getting trapped up there and clogging things up. I've tried irrigating a bunch, but can't seem to clear things up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - John
