Well, that is good to hear -- I'm glad that it does subside at some point. I notice it when I'm stressed or when I've overdone it more than any other time. I also wonder if allergy season might increase the feeling as well.

I do not remember being bothered by my allergies and I have severe allergies...I had my surgery in August though...so it might not have been the height of the allergy season...the other thing is that I get three allergy shots a month...I have a terrible time with my sinuses...even after two sinus surgeries...
