is there anything in your office that you may be allergic too? (please dont say work lol)

[stylinsam]

you may be allergic to dust if your desk is dusty!?

Maybe you are allergic to work !! - It is quite common you know.

Is the room air-conditioned?

I get it, but I do the post every morning so opening and tearing up the envelopes makes me sneeze from all the paper particles

Sounds really annoying - obviously there is something in the vicinity that is making you suffer -I guess it will be a process of elimination (what is the cleaner using? Is someone close by using a certain perfume? Are you near the photocopier -these give out fumes? etc...) . As an immediate solution while you discover the culprit, you could try putting a mini-ioniser or air purifier on the desk to minimise any allergens or there is a brilliant nasal spray made from purely natural ingredients (inert cellulose powder) that has had really good results with allergy sufferers- myself included - it is called Nasaleze and it coats the nasal passages to stop irritants/allergens from penetrating. I think you can get it in Boots or maybe Holland and Barratt - mine was a freebie. If no luck Google it. Good luck - hope you find a solution soon!

All you need is a simple antihistamine treatment either a nasal spray, tablets or eye drops or a combination of them. See your doctor for whats best. I know how annoying and embarassing having a runny nose can be, plus it gets in the way of work.
