The Moonster Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 People that think hayfever is just having itchy eyes Aye, allergies affect everyone in exactly the same manner, right enough. The first time I remember reacting to it I was on a golf course and it was horrid. My throat had such a horrible itch/pain and the only way I could sooth it was by making a noise akin to a goose being strangled. I haven't been getting it as bad these days and hayfever tablets will generally do the business but over the last couple of weeks it's been pretty bad again. I was at a wedding on Saturday and took a sneezing fit as they were trying to get photos, it always seems to time itself nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Aye, allergies affect everyone in exactly the same manner, right enough. Well, clearly not. Just think it's funny when the likes of Romeo think that the fact that loads of people complaining about hayfever because they've got itchy eyes etc means that there aren't people who genuinely suffer really badly from hayfever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I get an itchy sack regularly. It's probably the washing powder tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50/50 Winner Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I fucking hate the summer, there is nothing good about it, nothing at all. I've spent the last two weeks either blowing my nose or coughing. My throat feels like it's been sliced to bits by that Han c**t from Enter The Dragon. It makes no difference how many antihistamines I take or how much I use nasal sprays nothing works. Then you get the people who say "Isn't it great having this nice weather?" NO, IT ISN'T GREAT, IT'S FUCKING AWFUL!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 People that think hayfever is just having itchy eyes First time I properly got hayfever was when I was 18 and I honestly felt like death would be preferable. Very close to passing out at work and had to go straight to the doctors as I thought something was seriously wrong. Turned out it was just hayfever, was bed ridden for a couple of days til the pills kicked in. Also, store bought hayfever pills are literally the worst things in the world, made me feel worse. I'd be amazed if hayfever tablets out the shops have ever helped anyone's hayfever, they're a pile of shite. I get hayfever pretty bad but thankfully hasn't came this year thus far. Need to get tablets, Beconase and eye drops from my GP. I think you can get Beconase out the shops and I'd recommend it for runny nose. Hayfever makes me really drowsy, it's a pain in the arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No drowsiness, cheap and they do actually provide some relief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I have hayfeaver, please kill me now. Most of the tablets available make me drowsy or give me migraines so they are useless. Sneezing and itchy eyes are a pain but when your throat gets shredded and you end up with a throat infection that spreads to your chest, that is when the fun really begins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I got these big f**k off yellow pills from the doctor when the standard prescription ones weren't working. Not had a problem for 18 months 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulises de la Cruz Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I get prescribed tablets that do the job. If I go a day without taking one though the hayfever kicks in and causes havoc. The constant gushing of water out the nose, eyes bright red, sneezing, pounding headache. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidger Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I always get bad hayfever from tree pollen, mainly when the birches are coming into leaf. I work outside so dont need to worry about my appearance, so just basically drink lots of water and let it flow out of me like a bad cold and in a couple of weeks i become immune. I find if i take tablets i get it all summer especially if i forget one day it hits terribly. Must be horrible if you work in an office to get it. Only had 5 ticks this year and fortunately the clegs (horseflies) aint started yet, the life of a country bumpkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 My new bezzy mate 19QOS19 will be all over this thread like a rash any minute now. Love Grimbo You know it Bro! Just remember everyone. Just because you sneeze a couple of times doesn't meant you have hayfever. (I'll bite anyway) I would fucking love sneezing to be the biggest problem of hay-fever! Hate the thing. I've had it for 15 years now and had hoped to have grown out of it by now. Much prefer winter to summer. I've tried absolutely every ailment supposed to help:- - Spoonful of local honey - Vaseline/Haywax under my nostrils - Lloyds own prong machine thingy - EVERY type of over the counter antihistamine - Prescribed pills - Eye drops - Nasal sprays - Driving along a country road and sticking my head out with my eyes wide open. Seriously! That's how desperate I've been. I read somewhere that was supposed to help. Lawl, aye right! Just looked like a fecking dog. Probably tried more things but forgotten them. My only recommendation to sufferers is dark shades. God send. Piriton and dark shades are the only things that have come close to making the summer bearable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milhouse Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Those free from hayfever scoff at it, those of us with it know it can be horrendous. Many worse healtg problems of course, but hayfever can be completely debilitating. Soak a cotton pad in cold water, put it on your eye, stick an ice cube on top; only thing that works sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I sneezed earlier. I also suffer from hay fever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
