Ed, the main thing about your post that strikes me is that you've done everything the doctors have told you to reduce your allergen exposure, but you're still having problems!? If you've truly been reducing your allergen exposure, your symptoms should be improving. If they're not, I'd say you're barking up the wrong tree.

I'd suggest there may be something else you're allergic to. You might try dietary changes, one-by-one, to try and isolate a problem, if that's truly where the problem lies. Wheat allergies are common, as are peanut and tree nut allergies. Some can't handle lactose from dairy foods. The list goes on and on, but you might start with the most common allergens and eliminate them from your diet one at a time for a couple weeks each and see if there's a difference.
