So for the past few months I have been getting the following symptoms either some or all of them, intermittently:
- itchy back of throat
- itchy eyes
- lots of sneezing (like right now cos I used my tongue to scratch the back of my throat)
- waking up in early hours with runny nose and have to blow it really hard
It all looks like an allergy so I had my bloods tested at the docs. Came back as a slight allergy to household dust and cats. Now I've lived with both for years so why now? Also, I can do the dusting and stick my face in my cat and it doesn't affect me. And like now, I've been out all day in the fresh air and felt really sneezy when I came home.
On holiday in USA in a camper van for three weeks and I still got the symptoms on and off.
On a girlie weekend sleeping in a bunk house with synthetic duvet and pillow, I got the midnight sneezes again.
When we go away in our own camper van - no cats, feather duvets or dust (coz I'm really house proud about it) and I still sometimes get it.
There is no rhyme nor reason to it so if anyone, anywhere has any ideas please, please, please tell me so I can get some relief.
Oh and hay fever tablets and allergy tablets don't help.
I'm at start of menopause - could it be related?
