Aye, its sucks....allergies change through your life.
Try taking some organic honey from around your local area. Eat it a coulple of times a week especially from January on. This should contain local pollen, and if you take it throughout the year (it won't help you this season I am afraid) it should reduce your symptoms for next year. I am doing that and it is working well for me, better than any tablet ever has (so far).

For the first year of my life I am actually OK.
For years I have needed injections, tablets, drops, and still suffered. I have only been irritated twice this year, once needing to use a basic eye drop. Nose has run a little, but nothing serious. First year I have used this honey idea, seems to work

NB. And I'm not describing a usual Friday night out at the club!

I have it quite bad at the mo.
Just started using "Loratadine" tablets, which come in a pack of 30
I reccomend going to chemists and asking for it
...far cheaper than the likes of Claratyn or other brand allergy tablets where you only get 5 in a box working out at almost £1 a tablet - plus they use the exact same active ingredient
Usually use the New Era stuff (500 tablets in a tube), but at the mo it just isn't enough

luckily i've grown out of the bad bits, summer as a kid/teen was a fookin nightmare
it is bad this year though, know a few people that are getting minor symptoms that have never suffered before.
i use cetrizine from the doctors on prescription, if nothing else it saves a fortune on the over counter stuff!

*Jaime*, don't take the pills unless you really have to. I never suffered either when I was younger, but when I 1st did, I followed their '1 a day' instructions. It didn't seem to help, it got to the point where I was really struggling.
I've found that taking 1, suffering for a couple of days, then taking another has helped. Then increase the time between them. I now take one every couple of weeks when its to much.
Its taken a few years mind, but I believe its helped build up my natural defences against it.
(I'm no doctor BTW, but thats what has worked for me )

Cut down to 2 a day?

Go to docs. They will prolly give you pills. If they don't work, it's a needle in the **** job, but one injection should see you through the season.
