ANY particulate matter - pollution, dust, pollen, mold spores, etc - irritate my sinuses, throat, and lung... I get headaches, joint pain, body aches and the dreaded brain fog.. I had comprehensive allergy tests and they all came up negative.. My allergist said that any particles irritate my sinuses, etc.; it's not an allergic reaction, per se. I know allergy testing is not nearly perfect, but I still think she's right.
The air quality where I live is not terrible... If the air quality report for PM2.5 on the high end of "GREEN" then I feel the side effects, and if it's "YELLOW" then I'm completely miserable...
I've tried everything (steroids, supplements, Chinese herbs) and I'm at my wits end... I could move to someplace with zero pollution, but then I'd have no place to work and no friends because I'd be living outside civilization! Plus, there's no guarantee that my new zero pollution home would remain zero pollution.
Has anyone had this problem? Have you found anything that works?
thanks!!
ps I'm having the nutreval test this week - hopefully the results will help
