My allergist warns against exercise as well. However, since I have gotten to the maintenance dose, I sometimes bike there and back (20 miles round-trip). I bring in my bicycle and they haven't said anything to me about it (other than "looks like a nice day for a ride").

There are also elevator repairs in the allergist's building so sometimes I take the stairs up and down (7th floor) to and from their office.

I have had a systemic reaction in the past, but I haven't had any issues from this activity while at my maintenance dose. I would be more cautious by far if my dose were being increased.
