Mine doesn't set in until later in summer once the farmers start harvesting their wheat and other crops, usually tablets work fine but sometimes its so bad nothing helps

I use Otrivine Antistin eye drops to combat the itchy eyes symptoms which for me at least, are the worst part of hayfever misery

Have you tried using your local honey? You can build up a tolerance for local pollen. I’ve also heard positive things about the injection but I cannot personally endorse it as I don’t suffer from hay fever but my ex suffered terribly

This is a particularly bad hayfever year.

Go to your local pharmacist, OP. They can give you some stronger/different antihistamines to the usual lotradine and citirizine based ones. Also proper antihistamine eye drops, stronger than the Otrivine ones you can buy over the counter.

My GP prescribed me Fexofenidiene 180mg & they really help, I suffered quite severe Hayfever.

Have you asked for a stronger dose of whatever the GP prescribed.

Good luck

Once a year. It’s not on the NHS anymore. Think it’s about £80

Look into it first obviously. I think there can be side effects etc.

My son usually gets it really badly, worse this time of year obviously but I swear it's all year round. Anyway he had the injection a couple of weeks ago and it has helped massively! It's a game changer

If you drive remember to keep your windows in the car closed and use the Air recirculation button/Air con to help keep the allergens entering the car to a minimum.

I have had hay fever since five years old. Plus Asthma.

I did have injections in my teens which worked. They were stopped due to others having allergic reactions to them. .

I have since been taking Zirtek . Which I took part in the original clinical trials for. Yes they work for me. I will say this year my hay fever has been bad. But speaking to others who also have . They say this year is bad for them also even though normally do not get bad.

My thought to this is after two years lockdown due to Covid. Have peoples immune system become compromised. Like me who suffer normally made worse as not going out as normal ?

Oddly, I'm not doing badly with hayfever this year.

It's not pleasant, but maybe try a Neti pot? Temporary relief

I used to be like that...since I moved to Ireland haven't suffered with it.

Hope you will find something that will work for you.

When my allergies are being heinous (although they're not at all at the moment, and I get awful hayfever) it's worth it

It depends on the type of pollen you are sensitive with.

I use piriton, nasal spray plus hay fever balm on my eyes and round my nose and regularly wipe my hands, arms and face with the hayfever/allergy wet wipes.

Coz being a farmer sensitive to grass pollen...,. Is properly rubbish!

Paper Town Central, Essex.

Cat allergy (got 2 of the fluffy little gits) and hay-fever is playing havoc with me this year, but even cheap baby wipes and over the counter ani histamines help immensely for me. The key to over the counter stuff is to chop and change so you don't build up any sort of resistance.

Not good when you ride a motorcycle.

That sounds suspiciously like lockdown, which sounds like tyranny.

The worst thing I find is people who do not understand how hay fever can effect normal life. Like today. I have been planting garden. After 3 hours had to stop and started to sneeze badly and eyes watering. So back indoors. Shower to get pollen off me. I sometimes cannot have outside door or windows open if wind in wrong direction .

My brother who passed away a few years back did not have hay fever until he was in his late fifties. He used to tell me before he started to suffer. If just a bit of sneezing etc. He admitted that when having a bad day . Realised effect it had on him and normal life. So then understood how I suffered since about five years old

I’m on fexofendine highest dose , also try and find the most local honey you can as it helps too

I use hayfever wipes, balm and face spray

Hay fever and allergies are the worse
