I have sinus issues causing snores disturbing my partners which is causing us to sleep in different rooms. Looking at what can be done but I might need plastic surgery to fix my nose. Anyone else have tales of woe?

#2I have a house dust allergy. It caused my eyes to burn at night, and multiple trips to my ophthalmologist (eye doctor) only resulted in temporary help via cortisone eye drops. In the end, what really helped was washing my bedsheets one a week and lüften every day.

Sorry to hear that, must be tough, does it trigger breathing issues? Yeah I would also recommend changing your air filter in AC more frequently or buying an air purifier.

#4I have recurrent skin issues: eczema, simplex chronicus, and in my early twenties, I was diagnosed with lichen planus, which is even worse in that is nonhereditary and autoimmune, and thus there's literally no none cause and there's also nothing I can do about it except treat it. This post is actually quite a coincidence because I am having a severe bought of the lichen planus right now. Basically my skin itches almost everywhere, and I have to fight the urge to scratch it lest it get worse. When I have boughts I'm just more irritable and less attentive because probably 25% of my mind is devoted to fighting my urge to scratch at all times. It's also ironic because if I stop everything and just sit still, I become more cognizant of the itchiness and become more miserable, so I have to keep somewhat active to just keep my mind off of it. Generally, I have to fight the urge to just stay put when I'm off work and not like work out or do chores because despite the malaise, being completely still or sleeping it off just makes things worse. Thus, being more irritable, I have to partake in my daily activities but with a rather grimacing face.
It doesn't help that for an unrelated condition I am now taking medicine that can cause hypersensitivity, and me and my wife have been wondering whether the current bought is an allergic reaction to the medicine or "my life" as usual.

No breathing issues, just burning eyes and constant sneezing. Yes, I bought an air purifier from Ikea that helped.

Hey that sucks. I imagine it’s like having chicken pox daily.
I have no advice besides you should get an allergy test maybe something in your environment or diet is causing this?
All the best. Glad you have a supportive life partner who is with you on this issue.

Have you tried a CPAP machine? I completely stopped snoring once I started using one.

Don't you just love it when people ask you if you've tried cortisone creams?
