Hello all

I want some advice or support if anyone has had similar.

Fur about 18 months I suffered with constant blocked nose, which runs but doesn't unblock if that makes sense.

Finally got a new GP and after months of being given anti-histamines he said I need a scan and ENT because I'd get headaches, other GP said hormonal etc

Turns out I had deviated septum and had surgery to correct this as well has sinus Surgey and my turbinates trimmed.

Whilst editing headaches turned to migraines.

Operation gave me a straighter nose but it's still awful, blocked, runny and nothing clears it, couple weeks ago I had migraine for 6 days I went to a&e in the end.

I'm awaiting results of brain scan and CT

I tested positive for allergies of mod, dust, pollen, tress, grass, digs and cats, I'm also allergic to wasps, hazelnuts, penicillin and pethidine. They are yet to give me anything for allergies, over counter medicine isn't helping either I'm at a loss, i am in week 3 of feeling like I have a cold.

Anyone else had something similar and do you think I'd qualify for an epi pen?

We went to the seaside during the week and had ice cream some people were having theirs dipped in nuts I found out after there must have been contamination as I had swelling around my throat.

you are allergic to nuts? some food allergies as well as the environmental?
what medical help for the food allergies have you had so far?

Only reactions from hazelnuts.

Nothing, just avoid hazelnuts. Buy new carpets, blinds and bedding

Keep window open for dust allergy then keep window shut because of pollen/tree allergy

I'm at a loose end I am going back 5/7/17 to ENT consultant. I keep calling to see if there have been any cancellations
