Hay fever

Has anyone else suffered badly with it this week?

I've been terrible with my eyes this week. Usually soldier on but I've had to buy some Clarityn. Fortunately it was BOGOF in boots and I've still not took anything

my eyes are stinging and my head is thumping

I've been taking a clarityn and a piriton so if 1 doesn't work the other might and eye drops but I've still been bad. I've had to put wet, cold compresses on my eyes earlier and my eyes are still sore.

I find Zirtek are ok piriton makes me feel dizzy

My eyes are the worst and I feel a bit bunged up and sneezy but I wear contacts so if I rub my eyes they scrape along the surface and I have to take them out leaving my eyes stinging.

am same Lisa need to stop rubbing my eyes they are really red and stinging like mad

me also eyes av been really bad

I've never suffered from it, but my pals little girl has been plagued this week.

I don't usually get it but this last week I have had my eyes stinging and a sneezing in the night.

yea my son as it bad he cant breath proper. nose running like a tap. all his eyes swell out. hes ad allsorts ov medication fr it even seen a specialist .hes only been geting it for about 4 years now before that he used to av bad nose bleeds. all the time he cant work or drive proper when he gets it. i do feel sorrey for him cos hes a plasterer and he cant see to put the plaster on the walls

can cope with runny nose, but the eyes are that itchy i could scratch them out some days.

My mam has been bad all week , will have to watch her , she ended up in Hope hosp. last year at this time, as she couldn`t get her breath and it caused a heart attack,

I peeled my eyes open again this morning and went to check them out in the mirror. I could have cried. Nearly all my eyelashes have gone under my right eye. My face is absolutely stinging because of hayfever. Think I need to go to doctors and ask for something stonger. I can't sleep or work properly. Can't wait for a bit of rain (sorry).

Im sure i heard earlier that it's forecast rain for tomorrow & Thursday Andrea. I really hope your hayfever clears up soon.

Thanks Shasha.Theres loads of people who've had it for first time this year. Must be really bad.

Luckily ive never had it - hope it stays away too. You sound like your really suffering with it, a trip to the DR for something stronger sounds like a good idea to me.

SORRY TO DISAPOINT YOU RE THE RAIN -IT WASHS DOWN THE POLLEN THATS IN THE AIR.
iN GENERAL THE POLLEN IS WORSE IN THE MORNING BEFORE RISNG UP INTO THE AIR AND AT NIGHT WHEN ITS COMING DOWN AGAIN.
IT'S BEST TO KEEP YOUR WINDOWS SHUT AT NIGHT.
WEARING SUNGLASSES CAN HELP WITH YOUR EYE PROBLEMS.
AND LASTLY DON'T GO BUYING EXPENSIVE ANTI-HYSTAMINES SHOPS OWN BRANDS ARE JUST AS GOOD AND MUCH CHEAPER.
NAMES ARE -
CHLORPHENIRAMINE
LARATIDINE.
CERTRIZINE.
IT'S JUST FNDING WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU.

Someone I know, who suffers from hay fever, says 'nothing works, but these don't work for less money than some others don't work for'. (if you know what she means).

.... Galpharm one-a-day tablets work fine. 68 pence (box of 7) from Qualitysave.

PS ... she says, don't take them before driving a tractor, 'cos they make you drowsy!

I must admit I'm worse when it rains.

Mine's turned into a full blown cold overnight atissueeee

My eyes have suffered the worst this year, Even with new optrex drops in my eyes just stream, when I wake up in the morning my eyes are all matted shut

Has any of you tried the 'local honey' theory?

I tried it but my eyes stuck together when I rubbed Local Honey on them!

Wiganer you may have an infection in your eyes,Chloramphenicol eye oint will sort it out quickly if it's an infection.

Thanks for that info.

Tonker, whats the local honey theory?

As Wiganer516 says, you rub local honey into your eyes and up your nose. The attention you get from attracted wasps and bees takes your mind off the hay fever. Probably.

Just curious if you suffer from it do your eyes go all 'puffy'

Mine certainly go pink, if that's what you mean teash.

Seriously, they've peen quite 'prickly' today

If thats the case and yer a fella you`ve got 'gay fever' tee hee quit stirrin at them blokes and pour yerself a cosmopolitan sorreeeeeeee just in a giddy kipper mood

Does 'gay fever' also make your eyes water Dr teash?

For the other local honey theory, besides Tonker's, have a look at www.deliciosa.co.uk - they stock honey made by Eric Bradbury from Standish.
Hope it helps.

Personally it doesn`t make my eyes water due to the fact dr teash(have we met before??)doesnt suffer from it, but i`d recommend takin a small dose of 10 mils of 'i cant believe its not butter' on toast and cry me a river. If its not cleared up in the mornin then yer scuppered

Dear God! Who let Teash'irt loose!

hay fever sufferer

Dear Dr teash.

Not that I am a sufferer myself, you understand.(it was just out of curiosity, I know that's what they all say)

But you didn't state if your prescription was to be taken orally, mentally or seriously.

There is an answer to that.......

Shut it scotty, ,you makin it sound like i`m kept in the same box as erin`s kittens tee hee

Local Honey by any chance?

dostaf, my recommendashun is treatment has to be taken 3 times a day orally whenst doth the clock strikes 12. And for all you sufferer`s out there if its not cleared up within a week then please call me on 118 118 and ask for doc teash, floor 5, room 7 aparmento 36DD

This was taken just and its not as bad as it has been

I'm thinkin Teash'irt is overdosing on Clarityn!

You need to be reading the packet!

pmsl i`m glad this thread wasn`t about some old dear who`s got a droopin 'pussy willow' cause the pics to follow would be rather intruegin tee hee

Dear Doctor teash.

We have a problem with this prescription as my clock isn't quite right at the moment. And I'm not sre what day of the week it is anyway. I've been blowing dandelion clocks all week. Will this help.

When it was taken did you get a good look at the thief with the other eye?

No cos I couldn't see

eye eye wots going on ere then

Crept up on you from behind did he?
There's a lot of that about these days.

He or she was wearing sneekers.

dostaf your sufferin from acute 'blowinon dandelionclocksain`tworkin'tinitus IMHO take a lie down, count to 10, have a wurthers and if your still no better in say an hour, take a pic of your weeping eye(makes me titter that does)and i`ll refer you to a higher medium,(then again she might be a large. Please let me know how you go on, and dont forget drink plenty of cosmo`s and watch re-runs of SITC

Dear Doc

This talk of showing my weeping eye to some pseudo-psychic gives me the willies.

How much will it cost?

An eye for an eye

Eye eye eye, you look harmless, hop on.

Wasn't it nice when we used to mock the afflicted!!!

Now it's all Big Brother and chauvin hayfever sufferers.

ear ear dostaf

They've started on the deaf now!!

Get to the Doc, Julian it looks like an infection !

Me eyes are waterin now we laughin!

Where's Mache when he's wanted?

can you go to A & E for hayfever

You're better off getting it in a farmer's field, but I suppose owt's possible.

Maybe the flowers on the wards, rather than casualty, are a better idea.

Hope this helps, good luck.
