This is not funny


By some wicked quirk of nature, my body has gone into bizarre state of a sneezing epidemic. This isn't funny because my whole life now revolves around having quick access to a box of tissues.
Needless to say, if I'm driving and I (God forbid) get a sneezing attack, it's goodbye charlie.

What is really quirky is that it only affects my right nostril and my left nostril remains completely untouched.

The right side constantly drips and then gets excessively itchy and then the sneezing attack starts.

Not even sleep can be an escape as I can wake up and start a sneezing in the middle of the night.

That's just plain weird. Maybe you should get some allergy medicine, eihter perscription or over the counter. Is it allergy season over there?

Little lamb, I've tried over the counter medicine which doesn't work for me and no it's not allergy season.

Maybe you're coming down with a cold. Have you taken anything for your sneezing?

I've had it too, I don't know hat causes it but sometimes it lasts for days.

Steroid nasal spray worked for me but it has other side effects.

Something in the air, but sure no good.

If it was a cold or flu I would be feeling sick, which I'm not. It's been going on for weeks and there's no sign of it going away.
Hay fever is usually in spring time and we are into autumn so that doesn't make sense.
I do know that my wife suffered the same symptoms for about two years until she got treatment from an allergy specialist. This involves a regimented exclusion diet for a few weeks. Maybe I'll have to try it myself, because it worked like magic for her.

There was a decongestant years ago that was in the phase 3 stage of a clinical trial that had a funny side effect. It seemed that every man and woman who was on this med had an orgasm when they sneezed. Apparently the men wore condoms all day and considered it an effective med, with a perk. I'm sorry I don't know the name of it, Lex.

stucco, I'm definitely going to look up that drug. Orgasm without sex seems good to me.
