Title: Hay fever Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 07:27:10 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... 8)
...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? :cry: Title: Hay fever Post by: STFCBird on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 07:47:20 I don't get hayfever :D ner ner ner ner ner :wink:
Title: Hay fever Post by: Sussex on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 07:48:54 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: Title: Hay fever Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 08:07:58 Thanks, Birdy... :evil:
I think i used to have doctor prescribed pills too. I'll contact my mother... Title: Hay fever Post by: STFCBird on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 08:22:06 my pleasure :D
Title: Hay fever Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 08:26:06 Quote How does everyone else deal with this pollen-induced hell? 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.

Title: Hay fever Post by: ron dodgers on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 12:51:32 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. Title: Hay fever Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 13:01:09 I'm going to Glastonbury... so staying inside isn't an option!!!

Title: Hay fever Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 17:25:48 I get hayfever really badly, started off for proper yesterday. I just bought these non-drowsy hayfever tablets from Tesco for 98p, seem to have done the job today :wink:
Title: Hay fever Post by: Bedford Red on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 19:24:28 I use Piritize which are pretty good, tried the injection once but didn't
work for me. Title: Hay fever Post by: walrus on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 19:33:27 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.
Title: Hay fever Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, 19:38:17 I'm feeling crap at the moment with (non hayfever related) headaches, stomach pains and other discomforts and I have two exams tomorrow and one thursday :?
Title: Hay fever Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, June 22, 2005, 10:26:53 I just use beconase, obviously I'm an extremely mild case. My brother has beconase, inhaler, eye drops.
