Interesting topic.

I have also tested positive for allergies, although I have not dealt with allergy symptoms for a number of years.

However, I tend to have an MS flare every year in spring. My DH has wondered whether or not this could be connected to allergy issues.

If so, what could be done about it? Would it possibly help to take OTC allergy medicine during that season, even if I am not experiencing symptoms? Could that help to keep my auto-immune system from being over-active, if allergies are contributing to my flares? Hmmm.
