Karpaty Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yesterday was brutal and this morning I've woken up with a blocked nose. I was working outside yesterday as well and likely will be today also. Fucking brutal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 How has today been for the sufferers? I've been prescribed pills, eye drops and a nasal spray. I've been fine since taking them but am unsure if that's because it's just a good day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Take an antihistamine mate. Sort ye right oot. It seems the histamines are too strong for my anti-histamines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulises de la Cruz Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Feeling it today. Started off with a runny nose then I made the mistake of itching one of my eyes, now my left eye is swollen/bloodshot and I can't stop itching it. Great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for you two obviously, and when I say I feel sorry for you I genuinely do as I know it's an absolute fucker! But from a selfish point of view I'm happy to hear it's been a bad day and my prescription has appeared to work. Long may it continue If it does I'll keep everyone informed and FWIW I'm on Sodium Cromo eye drops, Beconase Aqueous nasal spray and 10ml Cetrizine Hydrochloride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1974h Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 After years of hayfever here is my way of managing it. Hayfever tablets are no good for me, make me drowsy or dry up my nasal passages which gives me sinusitis. Use nasal rinse in shower every morning as part of daily routine. The most important thing is to drink an abundance of water, seriously this is really important. When your nose is constantly running your body is losing liquids. Your runny nose should be like water if it even resembles slime you need more water. This stops dehydration and prevents sinusitis. Occasionally if headache gets bad take anti-inflammotry like nurofen. Very very occasionally take an actived to go to sleep. It's a mix between anti-inflammotary and anti- histamine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Had it brutal from 9-18 but it seems to have calmed down the past couple of years to the extent of now I don't even take tablets anymore as I haven't felt the need to. Seems I spoke too early lads. Someone hold me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I've suffered from hayfever for that past five years or so, but I can safely say that today has been the worst it's ever been. My nose has been gushing all day and some of the sneezing fits have been so intense that it hurts. Fucking soul destroying so it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Sorry. To clarify, they did f**k all for me at first which made me worse because my previous ones worked straight away and I was no longer taking them obviously. Turns out they take time to properly get into your system...According to my medical professional that is anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 A lot of strong medication can take a good couple of weeks like you say. There's a guy I work with who takes those and swears by them. If they are as strong as suggested I'm surprised he's been given the go ahead by work to take them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Bump. How have fellow hay fever sufferers been of late?? I've been hellish, but I've got some "bee pollen" tablets to try. They are about 12 quid a bottle, but if they work, then I'm not giving a toss about the price. Anyone else tried them?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I tend to treat my allergies like a man should. Like, not greeting about a runny nose or watery eye! It's the scratchy throat which really does it for me. Really noticed it over the past couple of weeks after a few years of thinking I'd built up more of a tolerance. Anyway, for those buying tablets, like me, do you find that the £1 el cheapo ones work just the same as the more expensive Clarityn? Same active 10mg ingredient in both, probably just paying towards the weather forecast advert payments if buying the latter. Eta: I get the itchy throat and itchy as fook eyes with cats as well. Horrible, horrible creatures (the domestic ones anyway, not had close up experience of lions and tigers to comment on the cool ones). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
