Hi

It may be an allergy or maybe something else but I do know it creeps up on me every once in awhile and makes me feel very uncomfortable and I just don't feel like myself at all. I do have a "history" in my family of sinusitus and rhinitis and the doc say's I have it too. I've though long and hard about just *how* I really do feel but sometimes symptoms can just be so hard to describe but here goes...

My eyes are dry, then they are wet or moist. My nose is stuffy, then it's runny. I get these "spells" where I feel spacey or zoned-out sometimes and it feels like someone stuck a can of whipped cream up each nostril and filled me right up. That's how "compressed" my head feels sometimes!. I've also described it as "balloon-head" and I get these very mild headaches from time to time. Actually, it's more like pressure than an actual headache but I do get little prickly, tingly, achey, annoying headaches when I have these spells.

I also feel dazed, stunned and like someone injected my brain with Novacaine. It's all part of whatever "illness" is causing all of this.

Then, there's my hemmoroids and IBS...ahhh!!. At least once a month, my anus gets real sore and it hurts when I poo and my stools get semi-soft and my stomache hurts. I'm in my 40's now. Are these the "golden years" I'm supposed to be enjoying here?.

Finally and perhaps most importantly is that sometimes (mainly toward the late afternoon and evening) my brain feels sort of dyslexic or like its misfiring or something and even typing out a letter can be a major chore because I become "Mr. typo" and am all over the keyboard. My brain say's "ok, lets type the sentence "D-O-G-S A-R-E C-O-O-L" but once I start typing, it's like my fingers take on a life of their own and what comes out is somthing like "Dod atre cole". So then I keep trying to type it "correctly" over and over again and I never do seem to be able to "get it right". It's very frustrating and long, technical words are a total nightmare!. I've wondered if it's just my long fingernails or perhaps I have what is called "fat fingers" (I'm just a little guy though) or perhaps I really AM dyslexic or have some sort of real problem. I do have Tourette's, anxiety disorder, etc...would any of these cause this?.

Anyway...thoughts from you guys/gals are appreciated.
