Your Hayfever Symptoms this year?

joseph brand

Hey,

There are a few threads on hayfever here, but none which mention the crap that people are going through.

I have some bad headaches, sinus pain and water running out my nose. Not to mention waking up with nose bleeds in the morning, about once a week. And the itch in the back of the throat.

Anyone wanna try top that?

Wooooah. Never knew hayfever could be that bad! Do you not have any meds you can take to stop it?

I had mild (but very annoying) symptoms in June (watery eyes, sneeze), but nothing recently because of the wind and odd shower.

BTW That's not water coming outta your nose. :P

Worst it does to me is completely dry out my sinus which is uncomfortable

glad I don't have it as bad as you though!

Your doctor should have given you Kenalog if its that bad

Nosebleeds,
itchy throat,
itchy ears,
itchy lips (the ones on my face!),
itchy eyes,
ranges from severely blocked nose to extremely runny nose,
dry cough,
headaches that make me feel like I'm about to have a brain haemorrage & I'm finding it very hard to get a nights sleep due to the above so my humour is foul at best.

Do I win?

You think that's bad?
I once dated a girl who I think was always wearing the same dress.

My Bf has hayfever( seems mild compared to above symptoms), hes usually grand after taking his medicine.
I have a problem.....Im so fricking sick of cutting the grass. So I was wondering, if he has taken his tablets and wears one of those SARS type face masks would he be able to cut it without dying?
Cheers

Sounds like he has maningitis.

i have the worst hayfever this year more so than any other year, especilly when the OH decides to leave the window open all night long, i wake at 5ish in the morn and am sneezing for about half an hour before he gets a dig in the ribs and is made close the window

Hayfever Sucks!!

I thought we were just talking about sneezing and clogged nasals/sinuses here. Damn, son. Pity-Thanks.

Just doublecheck your nasal sprays. One recently got slashed with a high profile class action because it caused permanent damage to sense of smell.

you should get that checked that its not swine flu

My 9 yo child has had great success with the medinose this year

So much so she is off the clarytin etc.

stupidsometimes

runny, snotty nose
sinus pain
headache
watery itchy eyes
horrendous itchy ears
itchy throat

Last year I had barely anything, other years I could barely step outside on some days. This year it isn't great but at the same time can't live without popping some pills and a box of kleenex! My garden suffers wicked because of my hayfever.

I treat nasal sprays like I treat painkillers.
If the recommended dose is no more than four sprays a day I usually go for about ten sprays & that doesn't stop it, it only eases it for a short while. I once counted 47 consecutive sneezes, yes 47! Usually it's at it's worst first thing in the morning or in the late evening so during the day I don't look & act like too much of a freak.
It seems to be much worse this year though.
But hey, if the sun is shining & people are happy, who I am to sneeze on their parade?

Not at all. I have the same thing and with kitchen appliances and the iron. Sets me off into a right dose of sneezing:D

I find the older I am getting the less it effects me. I used to die each summer with it but this year I am not too bad at all. One of the few benefits of ageing maybe??

yaya*

Used to suffer badly with hayfever yrs ago (although, granted, not as bad as some people in this post!) but I went to a homeopathist who cured me!! Once I finished my course of treatment with him, I was hayfever free for the past 5 yrs - I dunno is the pollen count v high this summer or else the treatment effects are wearing off but I do notice every few days since June this yr, I've gotten bouts of sneezing.
But other than that, I'm happy out so I'd recommend it to all!

jackbutler

I've been sneezing every now and then (I guess i'm not the only person in the world who's first thought after blowing my nose was "SWINE FLU ARGH!!!!")

yank_in_eire

Used to get HF pretty badly back home until I spent a summer eating massive doses of bee pollen tablets. Never came back after that...UNTIL I moved here.
Must be pollen from a different species of grass because HF is worse than ever - and no bee pollen tabs to be found!!

dmcg90

Yes in order

Haven't had it too bad this year, thankfully. Frequent sneezing fits is as bad as it's gotten for me. Sneezing is kind of fun...:P I used to get it an awful lot worse, runny nose, itchy eyes....not so fun.

joseph brand

Glad that some folks exhibit similar symptoms to myself. Like a previous poster, I did start to believe the headaches were something more serious.

But like a 'REAL' man, I just waited it out until it went away. I had a bad pain in my left eye socket, (guess its the sinus to left of my nose), like toothache pain, that would spread down side of my face, for 9 days. Solpadeine saved me. It was hard to smile during that period.

The rain helps a little, and I am on Neo-Clarityn and still have to get that Kenalog (both prescription from GP).

My Garden suffers too from my hayfever. Its a joke trying to cut grass, with watery snot dripping from my nose. Carryin a kitchen roll round the garden with me.

Ye have to laugh though. Its ridiculous altogether.

IvyTheTerrible

It gonnnnnnneeeeee!!!!!!!!

Haven't had any symptoms for about a week, yay!

super smelly farts heheheheh

Well hallelujah its a miracle my hayfever, which made my life hell every year of my 31 years, has all but disappeared. Methinks its a combination of the kenolog jab, and the ****e summer. Although when we had that tropical week or 2 in June (ideal sneeze-inducing weather) I was also unaffected, and I didnt do my usual stay indoors and close all the windows routine.....nice

Now if I could just shift those damn haemorroids

Stupid itchy dry throat/nose.
If my nose isn't all dry and irritating it's running like crazy.
A fair bit of sneezing.
Eyes itching and leaking. Not much else really,the itchiness and dryness are by far the nost annoying symptoms for me.
