"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?

Got it bad now. No itchy eyes or sore throat. Just really congested sinuses, i.e. back of nose and behind eyes. Was doing OK till the beginning of this week. Started feeling better this morning, and had a mock exam, it started streaming out of me. Running down both nostrils and congregating at the tip of my nose. Worse thing was I didnt have any tissues or a handkerchief, so it was a toss up between sniffing it back up in a quiet room or wiping it discretely on the back of my hand. My hand was caked in the stuff. Enjoy :D

Clarityn does nothing for me. The only thing I've found that really works was one a few yars back called trilludan. It's off the market now as it causes liver damage...

No Clarityn in the house, and I've had a constantly streaming supply of mucus since I woke up. To repeat what I (and a couple of others after me) said: HAYFEVER SUCKS!

Aha, you probably just jumped into a field that had been fertilised with super fertiliser gay-assed spray.

I used to jump about in the field next to me, but the farmer usees some sort of spray (dunno what), that brings me out in teh king of rashes and kills me.

I don't have hayfever or any other allergy though. I rock. Yeah.
Bet you wish you were me.
Totally.

I know, but I didn't read the instruction booklet which directs me to the box anyway.

Doesn't do any harm. I might become immune to the tablets, but then I'll move to Piriton or whatever.

Non Drowsy/Drowsy seems to make no difference to me.

It says one-a-day on the box! :D

Anyway, i got a ruuny nose and started sneezing like crazy yesterday morning but clarityn sorted me out good. One of them usually keeps me decent for a good few days!

I get it mildly, but compared to some descriptions in this thread its nothing. Just a bit of the old heavy eyes, runny nose, etc. etc.

I have hayfever. I was playing hockey today, and they were cutting the grass on the feild which is over the other side of one end of the astroturf, and whenever i went down that end i could hardly breathe.
Hayfever sucks.

I thank God (Vincent D'Onofrio) on a weekly basis that I don't seem to have a single allergy.

I do come out in red spots if shot with a 9 millimetre uzi, though.

Yeah. I take one or 2 a day.

I get the full works for tree and grass. Although grass is slightly worse.

For instance, the other day my mates were calling me "Devil", because I had completely red eyes like I was heavily drugged. Aswell as that I had itchy watery eyes, the runniest sneezing nose and the general feeling of crap state.

I remember 2 years ago there was an afternoon when I was so taken over by it, when I couldn't even see where I was going or hold my head upright for more than 3 seconds, that I curled up in a ball on the sofa for hours.
