I love the great outdoors, but I do not love the horrible Hay Fever that comes with it 👎

And I don't recall ever suffering this early in the year before! 🫩 Boo hiss 🫤

Spring arrived very early this year and a lot of trees are shedding pollen now, including birch and others.

Changing clothes when you get in can remove the source of pollen from around you which will be jettisoned off as you move.

Look for good deals on bulk antihistamines etc as it's going to be a long season, for those who can take them.

Seasons for suffering are likely to continue to increase, as global heating increases

My allergies appeared a few years ago.

Along with IBS I now have chronic rhinitis, which is painful and annoying.

Someone on a bus recently must cook with a lot of spices as she set it off badly when I sat next to her.

You can get them pretty cheap in Savers or pound shops. They have the same active ingredients as Piriton etc.

I discovered last season that these can now be bought over the counter rather than prescription, I buy mine from an online *pharmacy for you*

Check the dosage, I was prescribed fexofenadine for a serious allergic reaction only taken on demand and they are very strong compared to "normal" hay fever antihistamines. I took 2 and my heart rate went to 180+

Some people take it regularly. I take 2 tablets every day of the year (then a steroid spray on top for allergies).

Thanks I always opt for generic, non branded. I just looked at Savers and a lot of theirs are good prices

It's not too bad for me so far, but then it's been blustery and drizzly up north which helps I think.

2020 and last year were the worst years for me. I found 120mg feno, treathay worked really well. I know if it's 120mg of feno from whatever tablet that's the key thing, but those tablets in particular really worked well

Fexofenadine are the best tablets in my opinion - however, I pay for the kenalog injection (but there are lots of potential side effects so do your research) and I haven't looked back

The NHS no longer supports this injection due to serious potential side effects. That should tell you something.

I've been on 120mg fexofenadine for quite a while now and it works really well for me.

I haver some elderflower eye gel from the body shop which I dab a tiny amount under my eyes when it's really bad.

Locally produced honey from the area you live can work too.... a teaspoon every morning

I definitely recommend Dymista às a nasal spray. Use it every 3-4 days and not daily. And of course the Sodium Chromoglycate eye drops. Those are magic potions if you ask me.

Check them out guys.

Find local bees, the honey is a Natural antihistamine it builds up unbelievable immunity,

It will help, local is better because of the pollen round you.

Long time sufferer…from around now til end of June sadly…tried all sorts of tabs etc over the years…last year went back on cheapo loratadine tabs and did the trick! Also docs recommended a new nasal spray on prescription called acrivastine I think it was so combo of the two worked for me and I was outdoors nearly every day at that point too 🤧🤧🤧

Sting yourself with stinging nettles daily for couple weeks or eat local honey both helps

Hayfever season always been a moveable feast for me. These past few years tree pollen has been my worst trigger so this time of year can be brutal.

Have you tried nasal rinsing? I've found adding that to my usual regimen has helped.

I'm moving to Dymista nasal spray in a couple of weeks (once I get the current sinus infection cleared up) and hopefully it works well

Getting absolutely shredded by it today, horrible. Not helped by a flare up of an underlying respiratory focused autoimmune disorder. Antihistamines aren't even making a dent! Hope other sufferers are doing better than me today!

Glad I'm not the only one feeling the effects of HayFever early this year

I've been pill-free for a few years now, after discovering red-light ("google red light for hayfever"). Got my first machine from Llyods Chemist, it lasted for years!

The way it works is, it emits light at the right frequency to close down the pollen receptors in your nose. No chemicals in your body, so you can use it on its own or with tablets. First two or three years I used it with occasional tablet; now I'm tablet free.

Like many things it may not work for all, but for those it does work for (I'm one) it's great

Hears a good one for hay-fever but a bit late in early march and April sting yourself with nettles for over a week and you won't suffer from hay-fever.
