But sometimes those symptoms, even in the spring, don’t stem from plant and tree pollen but from dust mites and pet dander. And at least a third of people who think they have allergies actually have a condition known as nonallergic rhinitis, a reaction that can be triggered by an infection, a sensitivity to chemicals or drugs, or changes in weather patterns. ¶ Effective treatment starts with identifying the cause. But that doesn’t always mean allergy tests, especially the ones now offered by some pharmacies or those you can buy to test yourself. Instead, learn about your symptoms, what brings relief and when to see a doctor. </p> <a

<strong>THE QUESTION </strong>Men being treated for chronic pain frequently experience sexual dysfunction. Might a contributing factor be the powerful drugs often prescribed to quell their pain?</p> <p> <strong>THIS STUDY </strong>analyzed data on 11,327 men (average age, 49) with chronic back pain. More than half of them were taking an opioid painkiller, and 909 were taking a medication for erectile dysfunction or low testosterone. The longer men had taken opioids, and the higher the dose, the more likely they were to have evidence of sexual dysfunction. Among those taking high-dose opioids (equivalent to 120 milligrams of morphine) for more than four months, more than 19 percent were taking erectile dysfunction or testosterone replacement medication, compared with 12 percent of men taking lower-dose opioids for that length of time and 7 percent of those taking no opioids. Older men were far more likely to have a prescription for erectile dysfunction or low testosterone, but after adjusting the data to accommodate age, men taking high-dose opioids were still 50 percent more likely to also be taking an erectile dysfunction drug or testosterone replacement therapy than were men not taking the narcotic painkillers.</p> <a
