As a real life sufferer of allergies & dry eyes, including post nasal drip, I can assure you, all the symptoms you describe sound exactly like post nasal drip. No, really.
When you don’t make enough tears, it runs into your sinuses and straight down the back of your throat…same with allergies.
and may I just say, it sucks big, hairy donkey balls.

Thank god I don’t have to deal with that crap! It is astonishing to me how god-aweful most doctors are these days! You people have NO IDEA!
My animosity towards doctors and insurance companies and drug reps generates enough energy to power my whole house. I can’t even do my job as a professional pill-counter. All my time is spent trying to change a drug that a DRUG REP told a DOCTOR to write for which the INSURANCE won’t cover — the whole time having this person with radioactive snot yelling at me because I’M the stupid one!
I guess I have no right to complain, though, because I have no less than FIVE of those kick-ass Levitra pens, so it’s all MORE THAN WORTH IT!

Wow – sounds like we all have drug reps for doctors! And I had no idea there were so many fellow Hypochondrians in the area. Glad to see our race hasn’t died out. Please give my regards to the Queen!

Did all of those free samples fix the problems you were having? Did they by chance save you a butt-load of cash? That said, I think most doctors today are kind of like sports stars. They get tons of money from insurance companies when the save them money. They get tons of money from pharmicutical companies. Kind of like sponsors hunh? Then, they complain that their profession doesn’t get the respect it once did. They cry because they are sued for the smallest of reasons. I say, be a doctor first and a hack for the drug companies second. Oh, and greetings from the land of Hypochondria. I am married to the queen, by the way.

Oh good lord, please tell me that’s a joke! I don’t even get to SEE my doctor. Just whatever random PA is working at the time.
And I *never* get promotional crap. Not that I want any, mind you. The only thing I ever wanted was a Levitra pen that “unfolded” to write. Heh. I wanted so bad to steal it, but the receptionist woulda cut my hand off, she was so proud of it.

I myself am a descendent of Hypochondria. In fact, just today I’ve diagnosed myself with an upper respiratory infection, when in fact, it’s most likely post-nasal drip. Mmmm, drip.

Sounds like you found the modern day feminine version of Mister Haney from Green Acres. hahaha
