Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Another thought I had in addition to what I posted in my last post was that although allergies have increased by 50% in the past 10 years worldwide most physicians were either trained before knowledge of diagnosis and treatment of allergies was readily available or that information never even made it in their medical programs. Quite simply, it is most prevailant in modern times and as a consequence many doctors misdiagnose or mistreat this condition. If you have chronic issues like I posted in my last post, please know there is a chance it can be caused by allergies and you can take steps that can postively help these sometimes troublesome symptoms. Chronic congestion? No problem you may think. Why bother looking into allergies? Who cant take a stuffy nose? The problem isnt the chronic stuffy nose it is what chronic conditions can arise from that. Chronic nasal drainage can cause significant pulmonary issues especially when it is prolonged. Chronic inflamation can create a climate condusive to precancerous cell formation. Chronic nasal overproduction can even show up as inflamation on CTbrain scans as it did in mine. It can drain to the stomach which is acidic and can spiral from there. I guess I could go on and on with this subject (smile). I am sorry if I am blabbering about it too much. I just feel bad that more isnt in common literature and phyisican evaluations regarding allergies. I just think it hurts alot of people alot more than what is realized in this date in time. Maybe in a couple of decades more attention will be placed on it but right now alot of people suffer more than they should yet many people dont understand their symptoms, its causes or what they can do to help.
