Yes, I've got some tablets and some eye drops. I'm going to get a nasal spray later.

I usually suffer from the old rubbing eyes syndrome of hay fever, had it a bit yesterday but so far I've been okay today...

Mine is ok at the moment, but when the grass pollen starts thats when I suffer, but normally only for about 2 weeks then I am ok.

Some tablets don't work on mine, Clarityn is useless but Zirtek works a treat.

I'm a strange beast when it comes to hay fever I never used to get it. Then about 10 years ago I had it bad for five or six years on the bounce Now, sometimes i get it and sometimes i don't Just keep taking those anti-histamine pills Ros.

I never get hayfever

I hope you get better soon Ros

Move down here, never suffered badly at all
in the 12 years I've been here.

(Although if it's Pine or Mimosa pollen you're
allergic too, you'd be f'ed.)



(Piriton is the best medicine, I've found.)

Nasty irritating problem!: Need a full Armoury to try to combat it. Beconase,Antihistamine tablets, Sinus rinse, the rubbing of eyes often gives me an eye infection, and then it's Fucithalmic,Chloramphenicol, plus hot water, very hot, with a disinfected flannel. Surgery closes at 5pm, sharp!

eat some honey from a local farm, this will help build up a bit of resistance to local pollen, you will need to eat quite a bit

That never worked for me!

I just keep taking anti-histamines when I need them... Not doing to bad at the moment

I doesn't work for me either as Bee's don't eat grass pollen.

It does seem to work for the girlfriend though.

Well, my mum made me do it when I lived near Chepstow (no affect)

Even more pointless now, I live 15 miles from where I work, and its in a city so the whole dynamic is different...

The nasal spray has made a huge difference. Two squirts on a morning and no more sneezing for the rest of the day.
