supragold Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm the same mate. I never used to suffer but the past couple of years I've been suffering like mad. My eyes are iching like crazy. Its sooooo annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 i got Optrex Allergy Eyes, it works for a good 4 hours, after you spend 1 hour trying to get it in your eye in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Mine kicked in this weekend too. I wear contacts and my left eye waters enough for the damn lens to keep sliding up the back of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Mine are wattering now, it usually gets better at work because of the aircon, but the massive movements of people must keep bringing stuff through the doors! Need to get some tissues. Got a camping stag weekend on Friday too, that'll be fun, hope it rains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I can sympathise. I've suffered from when I was very small, tried most things on the market. Its about finding one that suits you. I find the nasal sprays are very good, try Beconase or Flixonase, you can top up if you need to. Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 It's all so bloody expensive as well!!! I just get Asdas own allergy tabs for about 48p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I never used to suffer with it, but it's gotten worse past few years. I was quite bad last year, used to work in an old building next to a park area. Now we're in a brand new sealed, air-conditioned office building and nowhere near any greenery of any sort. I still don't get it anywhere near as bad as a lot of people though, I usually just keep sneezing constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Past couple of days it has really kicked in. Been sneezing since Easter, not normally that early for me. I found Zirtek works for me after taking Telfast for so long they didn't work anymore. Repeat! I must not rub eyes, I must not rub eyes. Eyes are itching like mad, but resisting urge, it only makes it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I've been sneezing all morning. Bloody hay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Get yourself to a health shop and get some ButterBur tablets. They're a natural alternative to Piriton and it's perfectly safe to drive after taking them. Oh, and they work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 benadryl plus... only one that works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 been ok this year until today. AHHHH,... I WANT TO BURN MY FACE OFF!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzC Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 It's all so bloody expensive as well!!! I just get Asdas own allergy tabs for about 48p. I suffer badly to but have found that Tesco and ASDA's own brand that contain Loretadine are pretty good. They have the same ingredients as Clarityn and are also non drowsy.

SBDJ Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I usually use steroid-based eyedrops, personally I have to just live with the sneezing/runny nose though - never found anything that works for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm either pissed or hungover so I haven't really noticed since I was 16, I didn't have a problem before... But this bright sunshine is making me sneeze though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm dying here in holland. Pollen is so bad your car goes greeny yellow overnight with all the pollen landing on it. Air quality is better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yep, me too started a few weeks ago.... I usually go to my GP who gives me a rather awesome tablet which sorts it out straight away, take one a day for a month and I'm fine for the summer after that... I think I need to give him a ring and get a repeat prescription... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
