    I have what you can call a "life-flu", I ALWAYS have to sneeze out phlem (i believe that's what its called) out everyday... and I mean every day. If I don't sneeze it out, my nose gets stuffy or runny. What is wrong with me? Is it allergies? Lack of vitamins? Because I don't eat seafood or peanuts?

    Also, is this some type of disorder? disease? Ahhhh!

    Thanks.

    I know there are some lawyers but I don't think there are any medical doctors.

    Tuberculosis. Go to the health department for one. Should be very cheap or even free.

    EDIT:

    I mean go to the health dept. for a test. They just stick you with a small pin. You come back a day or two later and they check it for a reddened, rash-like area.

    Hmm... hopefully the third world country has these kind of tests... By the way, each time I shower, I have these red spots all over. I also have very dry skin.

    Man I am unhealthy. :(

    When I saw this thread I couldn't stop thinking about this:


    <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D9Xl3bUr_kQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D9Xl3bUr_kQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

    I got a fever...and the only perscription, is more cowbell!


    BTW, what you are describing sounds like a number of people that I know who have had chronic allergies. Unfortunately figuring out what you are allergic to isn't too fun. The fact that it is continuous could indicate that it is something constant in the environment, like ragweed pollen.

    But my sister used to have a cat with a permanent virus complicated with problems with the shape of its sinuses. It used to sneeze all day long and launch cat sized snot spheres in all directions without warning, 10-15 times a day. That would truly suck. There was nothing they could do about it. I've heard of similar things in people where they could surgically alter the sinuses. I doubt this would apply to you, however.

    I'm pretty much positive you don't have TB. You would be hacking up blood and it would be more in your lungs/chest than your sinuses and you would have other symptoms like fever or shortness of breath. That and the fact that this isn't the 18th century pretty much rules out TB. (Yes, I know drug resistant TB is making a 'comeback' but it is still very rare.)

    My non-doctor guess would be environmental allergies.
