"Hayfever. Damn it."

Gah. Really suffering at the moment. Can't stop sneezing, or coughing and my eyes are constantly dry.

You see I'm one of the unlucky few who sufferes from the rarer allergy to tree pollen. So I get my hatyfever at the first sight of the sun. Still it's gone away by the time the majority of sufferers who are affected by grass pollen suffer later in the year.

I'm thinking it must be worse this year, simply because I've moved away from the concrete jungle of Nottingham to the more leafy reclines of Peterborough.

Anyone else suffering?

Heh...me too, although I try to do it when no-one is in earshot.

I really, really hate that. Thanks to hayfever I have it constantly at the moment, especially after my sneeze...it's like a really annoying itch right at the back of my throat and ears.

Fortunately, I can some sort of strange throat noise that literally "scratches" the itch. Only problem is people think I'm an idiot.

I was sneezing like a demented cat yesterday.

If you are a sufferer of nasal congestion (symptom of hayfever) and would like to participate in a quick survey to aid in our evaluation of current treatments.. please respond to this message or call my office for more information. 01242 524157 Mike

The survey lasts for about 15 minutes and I can offer a small fee for your time. I am particularly interested in anyone who suffers from nasal congestion and is using/has used Flixonase or Nasonex.


many thanks Mike

My bout has passed now. I've suffered much earlier than normal. It normally hits me about June, which would have been mid-exams, so I'm quite fortunate...

It's been good for me too.

It isn't full grass pollen season though...

This year I've suffered much less than in years gone by. The last couple of days I've felt it coming on quite badly, but where I always used to get a crazy runny nose and itchy eyes, it appears to have developed so that now I only get the odd sneeze, and a horrible itching in the mouth and in the ears.

Piriton worked for me last year, and I think it's the odd dose of that that's holding it back slightly this year. That said, it's supposed to ease off as you get older anyway. Fingers crossed.
