I have a large number of allergies - pollens, molds, animals, dust mites, and many foods, and my doctor has diagnosed me with chronic sinusitis. I learned of the allergies through skin prick allergy tests, and my experience supports this, too.

The thing that I'm writing about is that I only have one symptom - sinus pain. It's horrible pain a lot of the time, and increases when in the presence of allergens - when I eat something I shouldn't have or are in a wet or moldy environment, for example.

What I'm writing about is that I lack all the traditional allergy symptoms - I never get watery or red eyes. I never sneeze. My nose is always clear (though my allergist can see moisture when he looks in my sinuses). I can inhale clearly through both nostrils. I never get skin rashes. Just this PAIN and occasional sinus infections.

Everywhere I look up information on allergies, I see the above symptoms listed. So my question is what is going on that I'm not having the normal symptoms of allergies?

I'm hoping for more than "people react differently". I'm certain there is some knowledge that can be gained from this unusual reaction that can help me come up with ideas to find out what is going on and reduce the pain.
