Hayfever

[dancingpotato]

I think I have sneezed about 100 times today (in a row) and about scratched my eyes out. I've put in eye drops and taken tablets and it hardly does a thing. Anyone want to give me some sympathy?? :tooth

*hands you a hanky* Sorry hun. Hope you feel better soon!

I don't envy you, at all.

I count myself very lucky not to suffer from hay-fever.

Hay fever is terrible. I'd rather have a cold then go through hay fever. I always end up exhausted and bitchy.

I take Zyrtec... works like a dream. Makes me sleepy when I first get on it, but I'd rather be tired then sneezing my head off all day.

I have allergies....am allergic to mold, I finally found some allergy pills that don't make me sleepy but until I take them I too sneeze my head off...and I'm not a gentle sneezer I'm a you can hear me a block down the road sneezer, so yes, you have my sincere sympathies..........:smiley31:

Do you take anything prescription? Only reason I ask, is sometimes OTC doesn't cover all the bases. If you like honey, local honey is a good remedy for allergies believe it or not.

You can google it

I've tried a mix of prescription and OTC. I've been suffering since I was tiny. I'm allergic mostly to grass pollen which seems to be particularly bad this year. I'm gonna try taking tablets again and see if that helps. I'm at the point I've been through every eye drop possible and am now using just OTC itchy eye drops, not even ones which are specifically for allergies.

That would be lovely, but it wouldn't help my itchy eyes and sneezing!!

I slept with the fan blowing right on my face so now my nasal cavities all the way down my neck are sore

 

[dancingpotato]

Yuck! I can't sleep with the fan on, it's too noisy.

I am serious, try locally harvested honey in your tea and whatever you put honey in

I was told this recently, too, for help w/ my sinuses. Unfortunately there are few foods I find a less disgusting than honey. :yuk

I suffer from bad allergies as well.. Hayfever / Ragweed... You have to know and stay away from certain foods. My allergist had given me a list of them to help as medication is by far not the cure but only the suppressant to the symptoms to them.. Too many eye drops can damage your eyes so best to just buy "tears" if you ant to put something in them.

I also have allergies. I have running nose almost every day. Have to take anti histamine. I also have skin allergy. All my skin care products must be fragrance free.

If I were you I would have some some medical attention from the doctor

 

[monaco66]

wow, seriously that many times? He never sneezes more than 10 times in a single day and I think that would be a lot. If you continue like this I think you should consult a doctor for your well-being.
