Hayfever

[champagnepinkk]

FML … it’s the bane of my life atm. I’m really struggling! I have prescription tablets but they’re not doing much for me this year

I’m booked in for the hayfever jab tomorrow morning and even if it helps a little bit, I’ll be grateful!!

Antone else suffer with hayfever?

 

[TheStrawberryThief]

I am absolutely sick of having Hayfever. I have had an absolutely miserable week with it. Have used the balm, the Fexofenadine, the wipes.... but I cannot escape. It is like having a never ending cold

I ended up doing a covid test as it was that bad. It was negative.

Hope all my fellow suffers find some relief soon

I am having a bad time with my hayfever this year / been awake since 4.30ish with a runny nose . Took some tablets and not made any difference. Still sneezy and one nostril is now blocked . My alarm is set for 6.30am so now I’m just waiting for that to go off !


Has the jab made any difference ?

Yes! Huge difference! I’ve not had to take a single antihistamine since having it, I’ve had no hayfever symptoms at all. I really recommend it, it’s honestly changed my life so far. It’s been amazing to live normally on the hotter days!

Worth noting of course the potential side effects, the NHS stopped giving Kenalog injections because they decided that the potential side effects outweighed the benefits. It's personal choice but not one to enter into lightly if it's possible to get by with other medications (and particularly so if you're a grass pollen sufferer as we're coming to the end of the season).

I have cronic hayfever.

My main problem is my constant running nose.

The only thing that stops it is using a Hay fever nasal spray, has changed my life

Fexofenadine has changed my life. I tried everything in the past, nose sprays, honey, injections etc and nothing worked. Saw this on Tiktok as it is now no longer available just on prescription but over the pharmacy and it has been revolutionary. I highly recommend trying it. The only thing that has worked for me. I don’t think people realise how deliberating hay fever is but so thankful for discovering this. Along with a bit of vicks rub on my nose to clear early morning congestion and I feel like a new person!

These two have been a game changer this year, nose balm 89p home bargain, tablets were £7 with Tesco Clubcard

Fexofenadine is a game changer! Haven’t seen the balm, will give it a try and will try pick it up as I normally use Vicks. Their hay fever wipes (savers) were awful imo, didn’t do anything!

Yessssss badly!! My eyes sting like mad all day then it gradually moves to a headache. And I constantly feel like I need to sneeze I just take prescription medicine for it. This week my hayfever has been the worst ever

I suffer from it , i take fexofenadine on a morning and then the beconase nasal spray which always does the job.
if its a really bad day, il take a acravistine tablet mid afternoon

It seems very bad this year.
I take a antihistamines daily, use an eye spray for itchy eyes, hayfever wipes, tried local honey and I still get the snuffles. Seems much worse this year. I may have to go to the Dr to see what else I can do / use / take.

I use an air humidifier in my room at night - it hasn't cured me but it definitely helps!

Guys, not to be dramatic BUT I feel like I’m dyingggg today! I actually feel unwell. I’ve booked an appointment with a GP tomorrow (through work), I feel so stupid doing this but I’ve tried over the counter stuff. Any advice welcome

It's probably a bit late tbh. Most stuff takes a while to kick in, so you should start taking it around two weeks before the season starts to give it a chance to build up. Grass pollen season should be starting to wind down (although it does seem to stretch on later each year). Your best advice would probably be to limit exposure. Keep windows shut, wash your hair and change your clothes when you get in for the day, don't dry your clothes or bedding outdoors. Wear big sunglasses when outside.

If you suffer with your nose, try a hayfever nasal spray, it really will change your life

Thank you! I will try it, so sick of hayfever and it's mainly my nose.

 

[whyhellothere83]

I’d make sure you look into the hayfever injection side effects before getting it! There’s not very nice ones and they are quite common (I found this out on the hayfever UK Facebook group). Allevia tablet have changed my life.

I use Pirinase nasal spray.

Use it every day, even when you feel you don't need to use it, that's the key.

They’re sooo good , I get them on prescription

Mine too. I don’t recall it being bad as it is this year! I’m having the worst time ever rn I’m currently taking chlorphenamine but fexofenadine is meant to be good, it’s now available without a prescription so I picked some up yesterday. No difference for me

Wow! This is good news. Really glad it’s worked out for you.

Tempted to try this fexofenadine and see how I get on with it. The loratdine ( I think it’s this) does diddly squat for me so tend to take the other tablet ( can’t recall what it’s called ). But this morning that didn’t do much for me either.

Worth noting of course the potential side effects, the NHS stopped giving Kenalog injections because they decided that the potential side effects outweighed the benefits. It's personal choice but not one to enter into lightly if it's possible to get by with other medications (and particularly so if you're a grass pollen sufferer as we're coming to the end of the season).

I think I suffer with long grass pollen as I usually only get symptoms for 2-3 weeks ( tends to be end of June to mid July) and then I am usually ok.
