Hi All,
I've been searching and reading through threads on nasal / sinus congestion and have picked up some tips, but I think my question is slightly different.
I have had chronic nasal congestion all my life, but it only seems to happen during the night / when I wake up in the morning. I'll be fine as soon as I get up and start moving around.
Any other clues or ideas to look at? Do you think that the estrogen dominance is just causing what would otherwise be normal mucus to get too thick and sluggish?
Thanks!

- I've been gluten free for ages, and low PUFA for many years, even before Peating
- Drink a lot of milk now while Peating, but have gone through dairy-free phases and found no differences
- Am not constipated (1 good BM each morning)
- Currently have a diet high in milk, OJ, sugar, coffee, gelatin, shredded carrot salad, some shellfish, club soda.
- Have tried rotating in and out various supplements over the years - no differences so far.
- Doesn't change with the seasons
- Doesn't change with the environment (just moved from west to east coast)
- Doesn't change with amount of pets in (or not in) the house.
- Doesn't change with # of hours of sleep (more or less)
- Tried elevating the head of the bed - no difference
- I don't have trouble falling / staying asleep. So not sure if an anti-histamine is for me?
- Am using Peat to work on estrogen dominance / thyroid issues. I've been supplmenting T3, prenenalone and will add progesterone next month
