Tried everything and best by far for me is Beconase, but that's fully of steroids, so I don't really like taking it.

Gone back to homeopathy this year and it works pretty well for me

I'm on Benadryl (the normal one as the one-a-days never seem to work), I used to use Beconaise as it was fanatastic but now I'm allergic to it.

There is a Chinese remedy at my local shop called HayStop (or similar). I've used it for about 6 years and my hayfever is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Not cheap, but it seems to help.

I always suffer really bad with it & couldn't seem to find antthing that worked really well so went to docs & he recomended BECONASE is a nasal spray you can buy it from most chemists. This has worked for me quite well i still have a bit of a blocked nose at times but it works better than any other things i have tried.

I used to use Benadryl but it stopped working last year. I started on Clarityn which was better but I haven't tried anything this year so far. Currently having violent sneezing outbursts!

Go down to your local Wilkinson's

Check out their own brand stuff against a leading brand..

They have the same shit in them, in the same quantities and they are loads cheaper...


All these 'brands' that are advertised on TV.... you are just paying for the name....

Clarityn - but ONLY when you really need it

remember, you will become imune to it if used often enough

the orange beconase nazel stuff, thats all

Benadryl plus works for me everytime all the others that have been mentioned like beconase, clarityn etc only worked temporarily.

Its all trial and error really everybody is different and what works for one person may not work for someone else

Seriously now, I am not shitting you........

Stick Vaseline up you nose!!

Honestly , i thought it was a piss take, but i tried it and it works!

Also a dab under the eyes helps too.

I guess it catches the pollen like snot does.

Im still taking the Clarytin, and still sneezing and snotting - but without the Vaseline, I couldnt leave the house.

I have to swop brands 2 or 3 times a year, pay close attention to the ingredients - cos there only seems to be 1 or types available. EG Boots 1 a day is the same as Clarytin (loretadine i think)

I never got hayfever till i was about 18. When did you get it?

I used to get it really bad years ago and hated it cos it just makes you feel like shit all the time, tried all the things mentioned here without much success I dont get it anymore though, guess what cured it.......................i had a real big car accident rolled the car several times doing silly speed and never got it since and that was nearly 6 years ago

Maybe the only cure for it is a big car accident, anyone want to prove my theory

Sainsburys own brand tablets are £2.45ish for 30 and they each contain 10mg of loretadine (sp)

Exactly the same as Clarytin and miles cheaper

We have been taking Zirtec,my hayfever has been quite mild but last year didn't get it at all!!!!

BillyCabrio's is bad today and doesn't help that he's outside working!!!! Getting 2 fans for the bedroom but sometimes feels that fans make it worse. But find i'm really blocked up in the mornigs and during the night. Gunna take some congestion tablets as well I think!!!

Bring on the cold Baths!!!
