Yep
I've found a combination of Beconaise nasal spray and the tablets helps best.
Apparently a spoon full of local honey a day is meant to help with hay fever but you have to start earlier in the year
You're right mate, it does - although it's not cheap (locally) and it only eases the problem. I have two spoonfuls in my morning tea of flask which is great as a natural sweetener, but I soon run out. Only local butchers & farms + places that don't get it by the bucket load do it
I get terrible hayfever. I get a prescription drug called Avamys and it's bloody brilliant. Once it's got to work I only have to use it 2 or 3 times a week.
Weirdly, when I went to Florida a couple of weeks back all the symptoms disappeared and then came back with a vengeance as soon as I was back in the UK.
I get it bad, but funny enough I never get it abroad
Me neither - this from what I know at a scientific level is because the air is much drier (particularly in Mediterranean heats) hence the pollen content is naturally lower. In this country, he have a very damp and polluted air which means most peoples nasal defence is naturally thinned compared with abroad.
I went to Zambia (Central Africa) for a Safari last year and I forgot I even had allergies, and that was in their Winter during late July/early August too.
I started with it when i was about 16/17. It never gets really really bad (eyes streaming etc), but its bad enough. I take Benadryl Plus.... they seem to do the job.
Apparently stress during A-Level/etc exams can expose it Rich so that'd make sense, mine was 14/15 during GCSE's when hayfever first kicked in.
Stress/pressure makes it worse too
I know people in their late twenties that develop it from absolutely nowhere.
