If you get it this early it's usually tree pollen.

Started getting it two weeks ago. Determined to get onto of it this year. Have a cupboard full of anti histmines. Cetrine Hydrauchloride is working for me at the mintute.

I always buy the tesco stuff. Same drug as piriton except half the price.

yup I have it.

Loretadine works for me, but you have to take it every day, symptoms or not to build it up in your system.

I cant take piriton, makes me feel drowsy :-(

Rhinolast nasal spray is also excellent! As is a dab of vaseline under each eye if you're out in the garden


Fucking ruins my life sometimes hayfever does, I hate it

What did you do to pass it on to your sister? Incest? Or did you go to a local coffee shop?

I get it too. It's not consistent though, have missed it a couple of summers but when i do get it, it's bad

I'd rather be ill, like have a really bad cold or something, than have hayfever

hayfever might be bad but imagine how my little girl feels,, shes alergic to grass and pollen too,,,,, shes just had a operation on her throat to clear the swelling causing her hearing problems,,,,,, lets hope she will be better this year as the operation wasnt a nice one for a kid to have,,,,, upside though is they also removed something to stop her snoring !!!

theres us moaning about our poor child when the other girl in the ward turns out to be alergic to pollen, grass, cats, dogs, dairy, wheat, gluten and many many more things !!!

oh and she was also alergic to penaciline too,,, which i found hard not to laugh

I get head cold type symptoms that come and go. Nothing too bad.

I grew up on a farm too, and was always playing on the hay etc. I never had it then, so it just shows you that anyone can get it at any point.

forgot to say that wearing close fitting wrap around shades stops the pollen getting in your eyes and also blocks sunlight that triggers symptons
