Hi,
Is there anyone suffering allergic rhinitis(sign: sneeze all the time)? Is the anti-inflammation medicine covered by insurance, I mean those strongly against sneezing)? Do you have to pay more insurance as a chronic disease by this consistent sneezing?

I got such sneezing problem for quite some time. Most non-prescription medicine seems not to work to my problem. Dose anyone know how to make GP to prescript me spray drug regularly? Do I have to go to GP everytime when finish the spray?

Any experience is more than appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Have you seen your GP and have they come up with a diagnosis? You can't make a GP perscript you a spray regularly - there may be a reason they don't want you to use it constantly. I have just recently been to the GP and been prescripted a nose spray - but they want to see me back to check on my symptoms and if the spray is working. The spray was covered by my health insurance, as are most meds.

I would suggest making another apt with your GP and talking about your concerns - you may even be referred to an ear, nose and throat dept. for further investigations.

Thanks a lot, Monkeynuts!
I have not visit GP by my nose problem, which is not actually new problem to me. I had bad experience with NL health care system and thus I don't count on them to give me real treatment. Anyway, I have allergic nose for a while and kept bring nose spray from my own country, which is much cheaper and potent than those non-prescription ones in NL. Sometimes I feel that my nose mucosa seems to be peeling without hormone spray! I should see GP.
Thank you very much
