Anyone else suffer from this? It's been particularly bad this week with the nice weather. Not even left the house today and I'm sneezing non stop, eyes are itchy as well as my throat. And that's me been taking Clarityn all week as well

 

Thank goodness, mine is on the wane now. Whatever it is that stirs it up is obviously over and done with now. I feel for you. Even with drugs, vaseline around the nasal passages and all the other "remedies" there seems to be a peak in the hayfever cycle that just has to be got through with a "grin and bear it" attitude.

I'm absolutely awful in the mornings at the moment. A shower normally helps clear things out.

Given up with main brand allergy tablets - far far too expensive, so save it for really bad days. I normally take some new-era homeopathic ones. Cheap and get shed loads (500). But they do take a hour or so to start kicking in.

 

Yeah I've heard that the new era stuff is good. Must get some in Off to have that shower now to see if I can get rid of the pollen Going down to my local football club this afternoon to join a group of English folk to watch the game. They have created a little England in Livingston Hmm, wonder which side I'll support

 

Its been awefull recently

 

This last week you can actually see the pollen lying on everything, a thin yellow film of dust

 

That's where I'm going too with Watford Bazza

 

I think I know who you are, but you'll have to guess who I am then Then again, maybe you're not the Tam I think you might be!!!

 

You should see what it does when it sticks to a car's paintwork in the hot sun.

Have to crack out the glue+tar remover, otherwise I end up with a sticky mess on the polishing cloth that smears everything when I polish or wax it

 

im suffering aswell from it, I never had it back in california when I use to live there and they have sunny days all year round. What is it with the british country

 

I don't get it in spain either. Too much green stuff in this country, I'm not allergic to grass pollen, as I can mow lawns all day, but somthing that grows in this coutry really does get up my nose.

 

I normally have it bad but this year touch wood i have not had a hint of it

You wont see me complaining though

Mine started Friday with a vengenace

 

Have a look here www.haymax.biz

It's an organic, natural drug-free pollen barrier. Got to be worth a try instead of taking lots of drugs/chemicals.

 

hayfever is a bit of a **gger - mine has developed into asthma! (luckily only for 3 months -june/july/august - then it's gone!?)

I use Piriton for the sneezes/Otrivine for the eyes/Flixonase for when the nose is bad - rolll on September....................

 

i had it for a few years randomly, and then it just never came back

i assumed my body sorted out a nice defence for it??

 

Beconase cures it for me. I used to have it really badly but now I'm fine.

 

Speak to lots of people in Livi for work purposes, and most of them been giving some 'freindly' banter over the World Cup, and some to the point of supporting Trindad and Tobago!!

 

Friendly banter is what it's all about Livi fans have a soft spot for Trinidad and Tobago, Marvin Andrews used to play for us.

Fair play to the guys today at Livi who created their little England down at the club, drums and all. Mind you, we've still to see an English player score a goal

 

me too, it's a right pain in the **** isn't it!?

thought i'd grown out of it (had a couple of years of not suffering) but last 2 years it's come back

i got some tablets from the quacks called cetirizine (going back a bit now, the date on the box is '02!) they work very well, quick acting and seem to last a couple of days. damn sight cheaper on prescription than getting sting about £4 for about 10

 

my hayfever normally starts about mid may-but barely had anything so far this year and thats with being out in sun a lot as well-u watch me sneeze like a trooper now tomorrow

 

A lot of people seem to be affected by that yellow oil seed rape in the fields but I've noticed there doesn't seem to be as much of it around here this year.

 

Its the grass season kicking in. 95% of hayfever sufferers are affected by it.

If its stopping you going about your usual routine it may be worth a visit to the docs.

If you get some Loratadine tabs they should help. The doc advised me that I could take upto 3x 'One a day tabs'. Boots do these at the moment on special @ about £7 for 60 - no prescription needed.

Failing that your doc can put you on steroid based tabs which works a treat when all else fails.

Hope it helps
