Rhinitis or something else?

For the last few years I have suffered with intermittent watery eyes - usually one or other. Only in spring / summer months.

Since moving to East coast of England 2 years ago  I suffer more days than not with both eyes filling.. It is now October and have been suffering since april and things are just as bad!

I am in Uk.

I start in the morning before getting up with occasional sneezing, some slight plegm in throat, I notice that the watery eye thing is after a day of wearing make up especially eye make up. My nose streams too!

However - if I do not wear make up it does not make a great deal of difference immediately. as in next day but definately does do the next day I do not wear it.

I did go to the doctor who said it could be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis and if it persists should have a blood test for that.

I am wondering if it is allergy to something / rheumatoid arthritis or what?

I do have cats - but always have done, the only one thing re the cats is that we took on a new one Oriental with short fur a year or two back who does lie on my bed in the mornings.

This condition does go on all day tho until about 6pm and then my eyes usually dry.

When bad I have red lower and upper eylids and very slight redness in the whites of my eyes.

I do have blue eyes.

Any suggetions?
