This used to be a problem for me back in my younger days, until i reached 18/19 when it sudddenly didn't affect me one summer. Happy days, i thought...  ...but low and behold, a few years later the bastard thing's back, and i'm really suffering. A piraton, clarityn and Boots own offering yesterday did nothing to relieve my constant sneezing, streaming eyes and itchy throat. :x How does everyone else deal with this pollen-induced hell?  |

I used to suffer when I was in my teens, none of the over-the-counter type stuff worked at all.
Went to the doc and he prescribed some pills, you take them daily and they take about a week to kick in properly. Your tolerence builds up towards it and hey presto - no hayfever all summer.
(but I can't remember what the pills are called, so I've been no help to you whatsoever) :roll:

get the allergy injection. Not all doctors do it though but demand it cos you have tried everything and it's fucking you off etc. I have had it a few times and it works a treat. By the time i walked out the doctors i could feel my nose clearing up and within an hour it was all gone. Lasts for six months too. |

it's a bitch bastard pollen soaked time dave - I aint been so bad for years. I usually take ceterizine cos the loretidine one makes me fall zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - damn must have taken the wrong one.
Someone recommended the Benadryl one (that's got acrivistine in it) and someone else recommended the inhaler Flixonase. I haven't taken either of those yet (more expensive I think).
Just don't go outside!!! Good luck.

Basically, live with it. I've had it a few summers (never got it when I was younger) and you just have to be a man about it. I've tried everything and nothing works for longer than a week, but the saving grace is it's gone by mid-July I think. The one thing that does work apparently are the steroid injections but I don't think you can take them regularly - it's for if you've got an exam or something.
