Hayfever

[St Helens RLFC]

Anyone else suffer from this nuisance?

[getofmeland]

yep mine turned into conjunctivitus

[An Tarbh]

Yeah I do but I take beconase which has worked for the last few years but this year it doesn't seem to be doing the trick and I've had a few problems with infections which is a pain in the arse as I've lost 2 months of contact lenses. Might consider getting the injection.

[getofmeland]

I have changed the tablets I take cos i believe got immune to using them, and the new ones do the trick... may be worth a try An Tarbh, but this is one of the worst years I have suffered...

Also a lot more people seem to be suffering making me think that it has to do with something in the stuff they spray on the fields...

mine have been really bad this year, in england, when i was in london, they were 10 times as bad as they are in the states.

[getofmeland]

I know people here who have never suffered from it being in really bad because of it, I live down in the SW so get the full extent of it in the countryside...

[DC]

I own you all, I have got allergic Rhinitis. Basically its hayfever symptoms every goddamn day of the year, whether is Raining, Sunny, Snowing or even Thunder & Lighting, I'm affected. :wall:

I got a nasal spray & Loratadine (serious....thats what it's called) tablets. I also take vitamin c tablets called Ester-C, which is supposed to the trick.

Also, I got Asthma, So when I catch a cold, I'm literally f**ked.

[EVOL]

Ditto.

Summer is a nightmare because of the pollen, winter's a nightmare because of the temperature.

Don&#39;t know what inhalers you guys are on but last year I switched to Symbicort and have been trouble free save a few minor incidents since.

There doesn&#39;t seem to have been too many warnings for high pollen counts despite the recent good weather, maybe they&#39;re just getting lazy at Met Éireann.

[St Helens RLFC]

I&#39;ve just got the Salbutimol.

LOL, Iv&#39;e noticed that too.

[dobrien7]

I&#39;m same as Evol used to get it a lot when younger but seem too have slowly grown out of it... worst case I had my eyes swelled shut and my lips blew up into small balloons.

[getofmeland]

Well its that time of f***ing year again... Bloody sitting inside due to the fact I go outside without sneezing and having my eyes go red...

Bloody Hayfever...

[St Helens RLFC]

Random thread bumping alert. But it is, to be fair, very topical.

[getofmeland]

Stop stating the obvious!!!

[DC]

i get mine bad in the spring, not really in the summer, must be the tree pollen over here.

[getofmeland]

mine is Grass pollen I think...

[St Helens RLFC]

Mine is most certainly grass pollen.

[An Tarbh]

Been a scorcher of a week here but the pollen count musn&#39;t have been that high cause I&#39;ve been grand so far, still though time for ole beconase methinks.

[QKXV]

I&#39;ve got a new cure, since I spilt tabasco in my eye my hayfever symptoms had cleared up completely! JK

For me it&#39;s worst in morning and evening time, my sneeze record stands at 48, I expect to break the half centry by the end of summer. Funnily enough I never used to get it back home in Pretoria, but since I&#39;ve moved to London it&#39;s been the bane of my life.

[gjohn85]

I still get my hayfever symptoms every day of the year. Some days are fine, but most days it plays up. I couldn&#39;t really point out a certain time of the year, because one sunny day I could be fine, then a day when it&#39;s raining, I could suffer bad. I find that it differs day to day.

[DC]

rainy days are bad ones!

especially int he spring for me

funny when i went to london during the summer last year my allergies were absolutely brutal.. but here they arent bad at all in the summer.. odd.

[O'Rothlain]

I heard that Britain suffers the most from Asthema, because of all the allergens (pollution related I believe).
I&#39;ve just finished mowing my parents 2 acres...my allergies are killing me!!!

[St Helens RLFC]

I&#39;m asthmatic. And since birth.

[Gavin]

I&#39;ve got hayfever and it is a pain. Working in M&S doesn&#39;t help when I have to run away and sneeze somewhere out of public view, because the customers wouldn&#39;t be happy.

Eyes watering and buldging out of my head. Nose running and sneezing a lot.

But I must say it doesn&#39;t help running about in the garden chasing bumblebees when I have hayfever.
