    Can someone help me before I go insane!! Every night when I go to bed I spend an hour sneezing, rubbing my eyes and my throat is so itchy. It seems to be getting worse as I wake up at 3am and have to taken an anti histamine. In the morning it's the same thing for an hour then it stops.

    I thought it was hay fever but it's november, I was reading about dust mites, I change my sheets weekly, Hoover twice a week and sleep with windows shut. I rent a house so ripping up carpet isn't an option!!

    Advise please 😔😔😔

    Sounds like you have TB. Have you been to a doctor lately?

    Could it be the pillows & sheets your allergic to? I know Argos sells the anti allergy pillows & duvets!

    Get a mattress cover, especially if in a rented house and assuming the bed isn't your own. Wasting your time changing bed linen twice a week, without putting on a mattress cover first.

    Central heating being off for half a year + massive amounts of dust at back of radiator = lots of dust in the air when the heating is put on again, for a while.

    Could be that? If so, could try cleaning dust away from around/back of radiators somehow, then running central heating at full tilt with windows open for a short while, to get rid of the dust.
