Allergy Mystery - should I get a second opinion?


What allergy do I have and should I get a second opinion?
I started having allergy symptoms several years ago. I tried Tylenol Allergy and it helped. So 2 years ago I went in for an allergy test and the results showed that I was allergic to pet dendar and dust. I was perscribed allegra-d and was OK taking it. For 2 years I have been taking allegra-d and tylenol allergy complete as needed.
This March I started having the these symptoms: runny nose, congestion, itchy/wattery eyes, sneezing, dry cough, itchy skin, midnight sneezing attacks. I again took my allegra-d and it helped. I was curious why It got worse and if it could be seasonal, so I scheduled an allergy test again, and I also tried 1 session on accupuncture for my allergy Friday. So it has been 4 days since the treatment.
Today the test showed that I am allergic to NOTHING!
The doc said that it's polution related and I should have a tube down my nose test to check if something else causing irritation. How can he be right

Also based on the initial diagnosis today, the doc prescribed
Astelin Nasal Spray ( azelastine HCI) http://www.drugs.com/pdr/Astelin_Nasal_S...
and Petanol http://www.drugs.com/pdr/patanol_ophthal...
Has anyone used this stuff? I read that both are for rhinitis. So I don't get it. He said I am not allergic but prescribes this to me....

QUESTION: I went 4 days without medicines and I usually had sneezing in the morning with runny nose. But several hours later, it all went away. It then starts again randomly and goes away. I try acupressure, lying down which helps. It's worse when I was near a cat in a house. So does this sound like seasonal ? Why is it so bad in the morning?

Get a 2nd opinion. Allegra D was the ONLY stuff that would help me. I have also been taking at least 1000 mg of B-12 to up my immune system and that has really helped.
Your allergies are a natural reaction to a downed immune system. Allegra D can semi mask that but the side effects are a sore back and possible frequent trips to the bathroom
You sound like you are seasonal so at least a month before that season hits start taking AD again and you should be good to go. Allergies can be very very tough.

that sounds strange. i'd get a second opinion

I also have terrible allergies. As I have gotten older they have gotten worse. I recently moved to a new city, and my allergy doctor said I am being exposed to new allergens in this town and that is making my allergies worse. I have started taking allergy shots and they are really helping. I also take zyrtec, and use flonase for allergic rhinits. I would visit a different allergy doctor. If you have animals in your house, try to keep them out of the bedroom. My allergies tend to be worse in the morning when I first get up. The doctor said this is because you spend most of your time in that room and their are dust mites and dust all over the place. Good luck, I know allergies can make you miserable.
