If you know me, you know I always keep kleenex on my person. It's up my sleeves, tucked in my boot, there's a folded up, gently used stash of tissues in every bag I own bc I always, and I mean ALWAYS have a bit of a runny nose.

After years of basically accepting my grossness, I finally saw an ENT who dx'd me with geriatric rhinitis.

Wait, what? GERIATRIC? Not technically, but MS has me aging in dog years. Apparently my snotty nose is caused by vasomotor abnormalities. 🤔 The same kind of over/under-reaction of my blood vessels that causes my freezing cold feet #becauseMS

MS or otherwise, I am thrilled to finally have a prescription that works. I haven't wiped my nose once today and I am luxuriating in the feeling of totally clear airways #breathe 🙏

Is anyone else living that kleenex life? Do you have a rare symptom story?
