Anyone else have non allergenic, chronic rhinitis?

Hi!
After one year of seeing multiple ENTs having ballon sinusplasty and eustacian tube dialiation, seeing 2 different asthma doctors a variety of test and a trip to the ER for chest tightness I have been diagnosed with non allergic rhinitis as well as some asthma and blood test also reveal a weak immune system.
My current doctor who specializes in sinuses and allergies started with zytec and Mucinex and a steroid nasal rinse (pulmicort with saline) which helps a bit. I was also prescribed Ipraptropium in the saline rinse which I only use occasionally when I feel like I can’t breathe but it is so drying and isn’t a 100% fix and gives me a headache if Inuse to often. I was also prescribed a compound chlorpheniramine malaete which helps a bit but makes me sick. My quality of life is significantly impacted depending on whether it is cold or humid and I used to garden and walk but now I am pretty much forced inside due to this diagnosis. My current doctor suggested cryotherapy shock freezing the posterior nasal nerve and another doctor suggested Rhineaer. Has anyone had any success with these. I used to be fairly active but now I can’t be because of this illness. The only symptom I had of this illness prior to this year was a runny nose every morning for 15 minutes and runny nose when walking in the cold air. My Mom had this as well but never progressed to the symptoms I am
now experiencing. Anyone living with the same sort of thing and consider these surgical
Procedures with any luck. Has anyone had any success with any other treatments.
Thanks!

@tulipstulips Hi, I was looking at the remark about your immune system. Back in 2022, I had covid 4 times and the flu once (bad year). My doctor finally checked my immunities only to learn I was at a 6 out of 20. She suggested the pnuemonia vaccine. I was not happy about taking it as I do not usually get vaccines. After several weeks she retested my immunities and I am not at 19 out 20. No more covid or flu.
Has your doctor tested your eosinophils to see if they are high? If they are this could be the cause of the problems you are having. Biologic shots are working wonders on allergies and asthma.
