Thanks everyone. Yeah I don't know why the DR is so against numbing my nose, I have no idea what the big deal is. Everyone I have discussed this with has gotten the numbing nostril agent so I just...

What are your symptoms and what does your diet consist of? Are you on medication? Also I know you mentioned the GP won't refer you anywhere else so maybe if you try out another they can recommend you...
I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this. It seems like the new easy diagnose of doctors these days is "anxiety". I think many docs just don't understand how debilitating this can be. It's...
