Hi
wow I thought I was the only one who suffered from this, I get the exact same thing! For some reason on some day or another I wake up and start sneezing for no apparent reason, sometimes my eyes will sting - rubbing them usually aggravates the problem. By the afternoon, I am almost incapacitated, I have trouble concentrating my nose is a running faucet and there is nothing I can do to stop it but shove tissue up my already sore nose. I call them allergy days too, simply because I have no idea what else to call them.
There are a couple of things I have found that seem to relieve the symptoms, Visine allergy formula - if I wake up and have that feeling like it's going to be one of those days, I put a couple of drops in my eyes. If I can catch it before I start sneezing this usually helps, but it doesn't always work. One thing that does work oddly enough is Gravol, it specifically needs to be the smallest pill form of Gravol (anything else doesn't have the right concentration). It's the side affect of gravol that you want - it causes dry mouth, which also dries out the rest of your nasal cavity, you may still feel congested but you won't be a runny faucet and the sneezing will subside. I took one once because the constant sneezing/sniffling was making me ill and I noticed my symptoms got better, so I tried it again when another attack ensued and it worked again. The next time I go to my Dr. I'm going to ask about this.
I am also convinced that this is not due to an actual allergy.

OMG I have the same problem too. I am from the caribbean and moved to Buffalo, NY. Since then I have been experiencing the same problem. If I wake up and sneeze, I know that is going to be a hell of a day. It last exactly until the next day in the morning. Allergy pills don't do anything. I really don't know what else to do. But at least I know am not the only one.

I'd totally forgotten I'd posted this, but stumbled across it today. I'm so glad I'm not the only one out there with this problem! I still have those days (had one yesterday, thus the googling), and am still looking for a solution.

I have to say, I read this story in amazement as it basically described to a "T" my situation. I haven't heard of anyone else who has these days until now. It's so bizarre. I have the EXACT SAME THING. I just an "allergy attack" (which is what I've come to call them) on Saturday, November 14th. I'll wake up feeling stuffy or with a slightly sore throat. This is how I can tell I'm going to have one of those days. And yeah, it gets progressively worse throughout the day with constant sneezing and a runny nose. I mean I can go through 2 or 3 tissue boxes within a few hours. And it gets the worst usually around 5 or 6 o'clock in the afternoon, but persists throughout the night. I become SO irritable, because for me, it's like experiencing the WORST head-cold I've ever had. First my nose won't stop running, so I take something for that, which of course leaves me congested. It basically completely ruins the day for me. And then, almost like magic, I wake up the next morning as if NOTHING was wrong. It always has happened that way for me. It's always after sleeping. I wake up the next morning and nothing. No runny nose, no congestion, not one sneeze... NOTHING. I've taken allergy medicine, cold medicine, flu medicine - nothing works - they just change the symptoms and leave me feeling terrible. I've never really considered talking to a doctor about it because I've always figured it was just allergies and you just have to deal with them. I'll tell you though, it's good to hear other people suffer with this too.
