Oh no!
Just when things were going so well...out for a session at the end of last week, came back with itchy eyes. Have spent all Sunday and Monday sneezing for England....:( I thought I'd outgrown it seeing as I haven't had it for a couple o' years.... Not happy as I'd missed a race as a result and it's left me feeling more kn***ered than PPP! :eek:
JODG, Thought that I was going down with the very same, after 40 years of helping farming friends to hay-time and having never been troubled. Then the penny dropped. The wife was away on holiday with her mother and I had more cow's milk than usual to 'polish off'. Stopped drinking milk and 24 - 36 hours later the sneezing and mucous had cleared up - lactose intolerance!:rolleyes:
Vitamin C,very high dose. :)
Regards,
Max. ;)
had heyfeer since i was a wee nipper, still get it but not as bad hate running this time of the year though! it doesn't matter what i take it will still get through.
and yep tried high vit C and lots of milk, i just get used to it and get on with it..
eye drops from the doctor [tablets and nasal sprays help too] - chemist should be able to help you out too
Ta to all for the advice. I hadn't heard about taking ultra high vitamin C though, might give that a try.
Since Tuesday I've been using a prescription only nasal spray, Rhinocort, and it's done the trick. Although I still have itchy eyes, it doesn't develop. A magic cure! :D
There was a letter in the times yesterday swearing by Pineapple juice.
I suppose it's the vitamin C content.
Might be worth a try - certainly nothing to loose anyway
Read something about the high bromelain content in pineapple. It appears that this is also a good natural anti-inflammatory. Perhaps this acts to relieve some of the inflammed sinus symptoms? :confused:Quote:

i've had it mega bad today,absolutly floored me had to leave work in a snotty mess
I know how you feel. I used to miss sets of days when I was at high school. At it's worst I was off for three days once.....not good. :( Somehow never managed to miss more than one day off work though!
i'm hoping to be in tommorow,sometimes i'm fine and can crawl through freshley cut grass but now and again it hits me bad,couldn't physically run a machine today,was all over the place,i've managed to stop sneezing now but i've still got a blocked up nose :(
Try an antihistamine - it will be effective for all the symptoms - eyes, nose, throat, chest. Cetirizine is available over the counter and is now cheaper than it was and it doesn't make you drowsy. another plus is that it works quickly (within an hour or 2) and lasts a full 24 hours. Just take it on days when symptoms are bad.

For the first time in my life, I have taken some hayfever medication.
From my teens to my thirties, I got hayfever every Summer, but never severely enough for me to want to take any medication. Since then, I have only been getting it rarely, when pollen levels have been really high. But in the last week or two, I have been getting really severe symptoms on some days; right now, my eyes feel dreadful. So I went down to the pharmacy and got some Cetirizine.
