one time when i was in second grade, i had so much pressure behind my ears that i cried.
is it just me, or when you get pressure in your ears, do you get dizzy and disoriented?

yes your inner ear is where your equilibrium is based from

I've had lots of problems with sinus' over the last 2 years and my normal doctor has basically used me as a guinea pig for all types of anti-biotics. Well i finally had enough of her shit and decided to go see a specialist.
Well i thought i'd start off with an allergy doctor. So i went yesterday for the skin tests...77 tests in all. They basically take a sample of what they are testing, prick your skin with it and wait to see if you react. Well, i reacted to 21 of them before she even finished pricking me, and reacted to 45 different ones in all. They had to give me a Benedryl shot right away because i reacted so hard.

Anyways, now i'm on Allerx pills, Astelin spray and Rhinocort aqua spray. Plus i have to come in once a month for a regular shot...most likely for the rest of my life. I really don't care as long as i feel better.

Anyone else?

There was a blood test they could have done instead....not that it matters now i suppose. But thats what they did for my daughter. At 7 years old, we didn't want to subject her to the pin test....

For me, it feels like there's a ring in the back of my nose that constricts, and makes it to where i cant breathe through my nose. Anefrin spray works really well, but you can't use it often, or your nose won't re-open for a couple days.

i think the worst part of all of it

worse than any perforated ear drum, or sinus infection......

when you wake up after 9 hours of breathing through your mouth with all the nasty shit stick to your mouth and teeth with your lips and tung split open

my brother had one of those allergy tests done on him an the only thing that he reacted to were roaches. dont really see how you can get into that much contact with a roach for it to mess ya up.

the pain didn't really bother me....the one good thing about the prick test is that you don't have to wait for results so they can begin treatment right away

They put me on allegra d when i had chronic ear infections, but they went away with age

the allegra d was some cool stuff, you could fill the passages in your ears and sinus area opening

Kinda like the Allerx i'm on...dramatic difference within hours of the first dose.
