My Dr thinks I may have allergies and is sending me for testing. My symptoms are full head and tingly face around the eyes and nose in the morning. Runny nose, then stuffy nose. Occassionally it runs down the back of my throat. I sometimes get hives on the backs of my legs at night(in bed). I have dry skin, especially on my hands. Skin crawls(on my back), see stars(floaters) when I blow my nose. I sneeze several times a day.
The worst of all these is waking up feeling so crappy...stuffed nose and like I said above-tingly face. The rest are minor irritations compared to some of the other things bothering me. Do these sound more like sinusitis(aside from the hives)-or allergies. My sister has severe allergies but is the only one in our family. A few yrs ago, I got bit by a horsefly and my whole calf became swollen and stayed swollen for several hours, that is the only time I can think of any 'reaction'. Oh, and the inside of my nose is constantly itchy.
What do you all think?
Thanks
