Allergies ruining my life!


I am a 26-year old female that has been dealing with very weird symptoms that i believe are all stemming from allergies. I suffer from severe dizziness pretty much every day for the last 4 months, burning sensation type pain that moves around throughout my head, popping feeling in ears, pressure and fullness feeling in head, sore neck and other muscles in the body , naseau, tingling and weakness in my lower legs almost as if when I stand I am going to faint ( but I never do ). I can deal with sneezing, the tickle in the throat, itchy eyes, runny nose, but this is driving me crazy!
I have been to the doctor's & ER so many times for this they think I'm crazy. I 've had an MRI of my brain and sinuses (nada), chest x-rays for shortness of breath (nada), EKG's, bloodwork you name it, they say I'm perfectly healthy.
My family and doctors just say it's stress and that have anxiety, but who wouldn't have anxiety over waking up everyday of your life dizzy and just not feeling well all around. I've been on Allegra D, zyrtec, claritin, flonase, singular, saline drops for dryness, NO RESULTS. I am lucky if I've had a good nights sleep in the last 4months just from the stress of not feeling well. I even had a doctor tell me that I may be suffering from a herniated disk, or trigeminal neuralgia which they prescribed nabumetone 500 mg ( anti-inflammatory) and flexerill ( muscle relaxer), that I took and it did absolutely nothing for me . My muscles were still sore everyday and i still wasn't sleeping well at night. My fear is that I will keep being misdiagnosed and suffer with this thing that I got going on forever, and it scares me that I go to work everyday feeling like this( i work in a prison , locked in a dorm with 60 inmates alone). SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Re: Allergies ruining my life!

Caramelmami26,

You may like to take a few doses of Arnica 30c and see if that helps. Arnica 30c is a herbal homeopathic remedy that has been used for the conditions you have described including dizziness and muscular soreness. You can get it from any health food store. It just might help

Re: Allergies ruining my life!

Do you use synthetic sweeteners? Diet drinks, etc? A large number of these symptoms sound like sensitivity to synthetic sweeteners.

Re: Allergies ruining my life!

I am in the exact same boat as you!
I have had severe dizziness for 3 years now. I too have allergies and I am now extremely allergic to any chemical scents at all. Mostly perfume air fresheners and cleaning products as well as fabric softener sheets.
I don't know if they have anything to do with my problems or not....but they sure aren't helping any.
Have you been to a neurotologist? They specialize in the balance center of the inner ear. The know more about dizziness than an ENT does. I hope you find the help you need.
