Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello everyone, At the end of my tether as yet again the arrival of Spring sees me losing sleep due to thick green mucus every night being coughed up. Red eyes, blocked nose etc. Have it all year round but worse March- Sept. Mad as NHS allegist says I'm not it's not hayfever. Please help any advise very welcome. Use Amays nasal spray and saline rinse which helps me breathe but does nothing to lesson symptoms. Antihistamines have no effect. What's wrong with me?

If you go private as you said the specialist will run more test but in despite what he finds you should ask since the first appointment for written sugestions of other medicines in order to control your symptoms. In most cases your GP will prescribe on the NHS this suggestions like in my case.

More important than all this, you say you are going back to your GP. it is very important that you inform your GP that you "would like a seccond opinion from the allergic clinic". First of all, because, you are allow to ask for a second opinion from the NHS (not guarantee btw) and if you do not say otherwise you may be said no by your GP or being sent to the same specialist who seems (by your words) to have made his mind, so in order to get the best from the allergic clinic you shouldn't see the same person.
"I have already gone through all that process, but in my case were ENTs"
there are also private recombinant tests that can test up to 100 allergens at once but I wouldn't try yet that option.
