Hayfever season
My itchy eyes suggest the glorious arrival of hayfever

Re: Hayfever season
Sainsbury's 1-a-day non drowsy loratadine anti allergy tablets have been the best I have found and only about £2 for a box of 30 from their pharmacy (although about a year ago they were selling at 65p a box of 30)

Hayfever season
I had a kenalog injection last year because my hayfever got so bad. £65 for the consultation and treatment from a private med centre in Birmingham:

Took a couple of days to kick in but I was symptom free for 8 weeks and if you get hayfever really badly you'll gladly pay £65! It's advisable not to have it every year though as it's a steroid and blah blah blah. I'll have this year off it and have it next year if I get bad enough.
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride are the best tablets I've used but prescription only as they're 180mg per tab. Potent but bloody good and non drowsy! Haven't had a sniffle since last season though wierdly.

Re: Hayfever season
Just rode my bike to inspection (MOT, if that helps), and I've reached the conclusion that riding a motorcycle during allergy season isn't the best thing for my sinuses. Not that it'll stop me

Re: Hayfever season
I'll agree with that. I think the speed we travel at with the air vents in our lids means that the pollen is pretty much injected up our noses and into our eyes.

Re: Hayfever season
I'm in full suffering mode.
U wake up in the morning and can barely breath, my eyes itch like hell.
Usually end up taking about 3 one-a-day tablets a day.

Re: Hayfever season
Man you beat me to the post, Last two nights on the ride home I have been in pain! The eyes were itching so badly it was really crap. I bought some piratin (spelling to be checked) but it really stopped it in about 30 mins I was amazed. I used to get stuff on prescription, but stopped, might get back on it again..... Well all the rain today will wash it down a little.

Re: Hayfever season
Work is the best place for me unfortunately, air con and pollen filters are making life bearable.
It all goes down hill when I get outside though.
