Hay fever

[Kellfire]

did it work instantly for you or take a little while?

Instantly for me. Ignore I get a flare up I get one off a mate who’s on them long term and I’m nearly always fine very quickly.

When it gets bad, like this weekend, I find Beconase nasal spray is better than hayfever piils - certainly helps me.

Beconase nasal spray I use it all year first thing in the morning .
Can’t go in a flower shop but the worst thing is those candle shops set my eyes off bad.

£1.50 eye drops from the chemist fixed mine. Not had them this time of year until now, easy fix!

Beconase nasal spray gives me bad nose bleeds. Tablets make me tired.

I just grin and bear it.

Some good advice/tips here, thanks all.

Going to try the Vaseline around the nose thing. Will have to give the locally produced honey idea a miss though - can't stand the stuff!

I never suffered from it until fairly recently maybe the last 5 years, this year has been pretty bad so far, having to take antihistamine every day to try and combat it.

Thankfully mine seems to weaken year by year. But for golf, my routine is Benadryl Allergy Relief (before and maybe after the round depending on how high the pollen count is), nasal spray and Vaseline round the nostrils. Works for me every time.

I seem to have grown out of it,

I lied, sneezing like hell, eyes stinging and nose itchy as anything today .

Had it really bad as a kid, then slowly grew out of it into my adult years. I still get affected, but it has to be a really high pollen day. Tree pollen doesn't affect me, but grass pollen is a real bugger.

Any old random hay fever pill seems to help me these days, but as a kid, it was Vaseline around the eyes, hey fever pill and stay out the long grass.

You may also find that any asthma sufferers have bad time of it as well, as Asthma, Hay Fever and Ecsma are all linked.
