I've had allergy testing twice and I test negative for everything. However like clockwork, I have significant reactions during Spring and Fall pollen seasons. Symptoms include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, nose, and throat, watery red eyes, coughing, and heavy drainage. My assumption is I'm having a physiological response, which is further aggravated by Sjogren's.

This year has been the worst. I've been plagued with heavy mucus in my sinuses and throat. I'm using saline spray throughout the day and sinus washes morning/evening. This is at least helping some but due to the dry mouth, the mucus is lingering in my throat. I have a terrible time trying to cough to clear the obstruction.

In the past I've used allergy meds (i.e. Zyrtec, Flonase,etc). This year the meds have dried me out worse to the point of not helping. Someone recently suggested Quercetin with Bromelain. Have any of you had success with other treatments for allergies that haven't made it worse?
