I think I've just about had enough of this poxy hayfever....

[rinkins]

I have had it for 3 months now. Tablets, eye drops, contact lenses, nose spray.

Am I right in thinking I should just cave in and speak to the doc about it? (never needed to before you see)

Any help/suggestions appreciated before I waste GP time.

Ahh is nothing working for you?

It can be bloody annoying can't it and tiring if you are sneezing a lot but the worst bit is sore itchy eyes.

Yeah I would go to docs about it if you have tried all those things. They may be able to find something that works with a bit of luck!

[rinkins]

Honestly I've never known it like this! And it's never lasted this long! Drives me nuts LOL

Yeah the eyes thing is a bit of a killer I must admit! That's a new one on me!!

[CAJ1]

I don't know if it works or if you've tried it but what about putting cucmber slices on your eyes or a gel pack you can freeze?

[angel21]

Well I've had a cough for about 3 months and went to the doctor and he thinks its hayfever related but I never used to get a cough with my hayfever. Perhaps its a particularly bad year for it!

[rinkins]

Thanks CAJ, I have played that card (slept with a cold mask on one night!), which is lovely and works for a bit. Unfortunately it doesn't last long enough to get through the day! Thanks though x

I've had a cough for about 3 months which the doctor thinks is hayfever related but I've never had it with hayfever before! Perhaps its a particularly bad year!

damn I'm banned. Posted twice

[CAJ1]

Ahh ******! I'm all out of ideas then other than visiting the chemists to see what they reccommend. I reckon the doctor will just give you antihistamines :o( xx

[CAJ1]

That was b*gger!

Are you sure it`s hayfever? Sounds more like an allergy to some thing your using. Could be perfume in air freshener or polish. Three months seems an awful long time to be suffering from a pollen allergy. But if your convinced it`s hayfever then try vaseline round end of nostrils ( it stops the pollen getting up) and before you actually get the hayfever build yourself an immunity to it by having a spoonful of honey every day. Hope this helps. My son gets citalopram from the doctors which really help his allergy.

rinkins...how about Phenergan 25mgms last thing at night?

[gossipgirl]

isnt there a jab you can have for that? im sure on GMTV once Dr hilary said that if you ask your doctor he can give you one that covers you for a few months. My sister in law is going to ask hers about it because her hayfevver is awful and its making her chest bad.

dth ?

[rinkins]

Thanks Glaik, like I said it started when it normally does (tree pollen I assume) but I'm normally shot of it by now!

Thanks for being helpful guys x

Sqad! I hoped you'd help. Where do I get this stuff? I've tried loratadine (over the counter) which has worked in the past

[Bbbananas]

For the hayfever - have you tried local honey (it has to be local to you - not from anywhere else other than your local vicinity).

As for the pox - can't really help there rinkins, other than to say Penicillin.

[rinkins]

Yes leggy!!! Excellent idea LOL

Thanks GossipGirl x

[jno]

I think you can still get Phenergan over the counter at chemists'.

[rinkins]

I don't think I could get a spoonful of honey anywhere near me salla!

Pox??!!! Where did I put that!?!

looks for a typo.....

[rinkins]

oooh I get it "poxy" hayfever LOL

Trust you!

[rinkins]

Thanks jno!
