It seems to be allergic in nature. Allergy testing shows severe reactions to molds (25 varieties) and dust mites. Those are the worst. Then there are some lesser ones like trees, roach poop (gives me shivers.)
I was getting allergy shots when I started CTX. At that point I didn't see the point. One to build the immune system and the other is tearing it down. So I stopped them. I'm still on 13 mg of pred on a slow taper so maybe when I'm done I'll try it again. It is a very long and time consuming process. If it works it's great I suppose. Now that I'm not working I can at least fit my schedule to their, oh so limited one. That was also a problem. Shots from 9-4 on Tues and Thurs. with little flexibility.
Thanks for the reminder that I should pursue this again. I'm actually making an appointment with a new ENT doc sometime in the next month or so.
