Great riposte Oscar.

There was a Post on F***book the other day suggesting Hayfever sufferers merely needed to squeeze a pressure point on their palm and the symptoms would disappear-it was shared by about 500,000 people-possibly the same ones who believe Apple give away ipods if you share a photo of Steve Jobs'nob on your timeline. Go figure.

These people are p*ssing in the gene pool.

Beconase Nasal Spray is the only thing that works for me. Tablets don't do anything. Waste of time and money.

Few squirts of that for a few days and it more or less sorts me out for the rest of the summer.

Locally source honey is supposedly a good remedy (no I'm not a hippy maannnnn) it contains pollen from your area which is what you are having a reaction to. If it works is another thing and does anyone still make their own honey???

I've tried this for years as my missus is a bit hippy dippy about some of that stuff and she thinks it's worth it. Plus she'd rather our kids (at least 2 of the 3 have got hayfever from me) didn't have to get dosed all the time.

I haven't found it works. Or sticking the red lights up your nose. The tablets don't do it for me either.

Nasal spray and then eye drops. From about March until October. And sometimes doubled doses in the summer.

Stupid bloody pollen.

Hello - sorry to read that you have been suffering.

I was attacked by my garden last week, and visited my local Chemist.

Rather than searching the shelves myself, I spoke with the pharmacist who suggested Loratadine 10mg.

I got thirty tablets for £3.99 - would be more expensive on prescription, but cheap as only one to be taken each day.

Took three (over three days) and then one a couple of days later. Am feeling entirely happy.

Good luck.

John

Have been taking these for years and prescribed by my doctor. Works for me fine.

 


Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

I'm Not a sufferer but know loads.
Vaseline round the nostrils to catch some of the pollen
Local honey
There is also a vaccine available but I believe it should be administered in the winter months in order to take full effect

Cetrizine pills daily keep it under control, but walking anywhere near a Plane tree at this time of the year is still a recipe for disaster.

I'm a suffer from it as well. For me lorratadine pills and piriton medicine seem to slightly ease my symptoms but when I was a kid, the NHS recommended (and paid for!) an treatment of accupuncture which seemed to help a lot

I need to thank you for mentioning these. I got some after reading you post and they seem to be working much better than others did.
