Recently, I decided that the cost of the Nasocort (my current stuff) combined with the fact that I'm taking a daily dose of bone-density-decreasing drugs make it worth reconsidering what I'm doing to my body. So I stopped taking the Nasocort, and as an experiment, I stopped with the Allerclear (Costco's cheaper Claritin equivelant) as well. This is when I made the interesting discovery.
I think I'm allergic to cats.
Without my antihistimines, my nose gets runny and I sneeze a lot, and my eyes get puffy and itchy - and the symptoms increase when I'm around my cats. So needless to say, I'm putting myself back on the Allerclear. We'll see how I do without the Nasocort - so far, my nose is getting a little more clogged, but not to the Apnea-inducing levels it was at before. We'll see...
