I know for many people hay fever (allergic rhinitis)is a minor annoyance. But, there are those of us for whom it is truly debilitating. Why is it that many people just dismiss it or disbelieve those who suffer greatly? Is it because you can't see the nasal inflammation that produces the pain? Is it because many doctors do not take it seriously enough? It may not result in death directly but can disable many.
I do not mean to whine about it but would like to hear what other sufferers have to say about this psychological aspect of dealing with the disease. Any imput would be appreciated!
Please note that I am not talking about treatments here as I have had this for many, many years and have tried most treatment modalities. I, also, keep up with the latest in research. I am really just trying to get a handle on how those with severe allergic rhinitis deal with it!!
