hi Ed,
you;re probably right about the chest pains with ritalin being a reason for his caution.
I have lots of allergies, according to an allergist I saw when a child. I got shots every week until I realized he was a quack because my nose kept running- and that was my main symptom. No doubt I have allergies, because my nose runs a lot in the summer too (see below). Maybe he wasn't a quack. maybe civility rules are valuable.
I have dealt with so many quacks- this is why these boards are tricky for me sometimes. No, never a diagnosis. A non-quack diagnosed a peniccilin allergy and remedied a dramatic rash that covered my entire body. My nose runs whenever there is a sudden change in temperature- say if I get on a heated bus in wintertime. This is an inevitable, invariant effect, and doesn't sound like an allergy to me. If it's below about 55 degrees, my nose will run, and when it stops running, the temperature change effect will set it off again.
But there really is no time of year that is free from this problem. I don't know what the active ingredient in Afrin is, but it works where antihistamines don't.
