Boring I admit but is anyone else suffering the worst hay fever for years?

[cornish seagull]

Never suffered this badly!

 

[TomandJerry]

Must be something to do with higher levels of pollen

Barber OUT

 

[Insel affe]

Indirectly yes, fed up with people banging on about how bad it is this year the wife included.....

 

[grubbyhands]

Yeah. I can barely see to type. not suffered at all for 25 years.shit.

Wife thinks the same about my constant complaining, perhaps you should start a support group for 'partners of hay fever suffers'?

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

What do people expect with a Tory government?

Change the tablets you take, but yes does seem pretty bad at the moment.

This year has been incredibly mild for me. Yesterday was the first time I needed to take a tablet. this year.

Someone said, 2 years ago that a spoon of local honey in a cup of tea every day mitigates the effects of hay fever (something to do with bees. I thought it was a load of old cobblers but Mrs H persuaded me it was worth a try. So, every day for the last 2 years I've had it..
This year I've barely suffered at all (a couple of weeks ago I spent all afternoon in Jevington churchyard with barely a sniffle).

 

[Hampster Gull]

Tories and Barber OUT

***BAD NEWS ALERT***

My hayfever has got considerably better since accidentally giving up beer, a couple of years ago.

Oddly, I haven't suffered at all this year yet, despite years and years of utter misery with it.

I was told about the honey trick around 5 years ago. Not had hay fever as bad since

Any of you lot seen the film The Happening with Mark Wahlberg from a while ago?

 

[Barham's tash]

Yep and as a late onset sufferer I dont have much of a back catalogue to compare it with but its bloody awful atm. Indicative of a hotter summer to come per chance?

i'm on two tablets a day just to be able to sleep and function at work and I never normally get more than a partially blocked nose. All very odd.

Or stop taking tablets and use a nasal spray. Started on avamys last year on prescription and never looked back. Not dozyness when drinking, no side effects and more effective than any tablets I've tried.

My doctor change me to Avamys a couple of years ago too. I use it all year round to build up the immunity.

Bless you!!

It's the austerity campaign. Nose blockers.

Really, they (Government) are just picking on the plebs.

I take 4 x of these a day, it keeps my coming arthritis at bay, as it is a sort of natural inflammatory.
When I last went to England I had took a couple of bottles with me.
My sister in law, who suffers badly from hay fever, started taking them and after 3 or so days her hay fever symptoms cleared up.
They act like a build up thing so you take them regularly to keep it topped up.
She now buys them on line, as I don't think that they are available there, but there may be an equivalent made by another company.
