Costochondritis, asthma, allergies and joint pain

Yes, I was told that the pain was all in my head after I collapsed at work with heat stroke. No one who knows me thinks much of the doctors who have treated me, protecting the company I worked for from legal action resulting from leaving me on the factory floor after I collapsed. It's a poor statement on the state of the medical system that they care more about corporations than their patients these days.

Within the next ten years I'm confident that a next generation of nasal allergy sprays will become available. I've been looking at a lot of recent medical research into how serine protease enzymes in pollen cause things like hayfever and exacerbation of asthma so a number of different options are being explored to prevent the damage resulting from them. I'm allergic to Japanese cedar pollen, going into full blown hayfever if I even come close to one of the tree's when it's carrying pollen cones. I'm still getting over a bout of it starting a couple of days ago when some pollen travelled my way.

You may already know this, but, something like Flonase, Nasacort or Rhinocort over the counter is a good place to start before seasonal allergies hit. This spring has been horrible due to everything blooming early. I am prone to sinus infections. Also, have you ever used the NeilMed Sinus rinse? It takes a little getting use too, but, it cleans out bacteria in your nose and sinuses. It works! You don't have to use Flonase or the other mentioned sprays year round unless the doctor tells you too. I start on it right before allergy season hits and it helps. Also, I use a hepa filter in my house to pull allergens out of the air and in the winter months, I use a cool mist humidifier to put moisture in the air as being dried out can cause all kinds of sinus issues. I hope this helps.
God Bless You!
