Anybody got advice / experiences re dealing with allergies ? any miracle fixes ?
Here's my tale of woe;
After a 220 mile / 14 hour trailride from Chirk (north wales) a fortnight since i woke up next day covered in an itchy rash which i blamed on washing powder on the bed sheets.
After this sunday's trailride from Mold (north wales) i woke up at 3am struggling to breathe with swollen nose, lips and throat, soon followed by red spots all over my body which merged to make big red swollen blotches.!!!!
The Doctor said its a severe allergic reaction.(like i didnt guess)
I never had hay fever or anything before, but he reckons after being hit with it the week before, the immune system reacts more to another big hit of whatever pollen kicked it off.
I think bashing through the overgrown lanes is the source.
Three weeks ago i spent the weekend trailriding round Dolgellou / Barmouth area, i was ok then but that was all open going on the top's.
He said to keep away from the suspected cause/areas for a few weeks or the next hit will be even worse.!!!!
No Trail's for a few week's .
. . . I'm already in withdrawal.
Had a 2 day trailriding meet in north wales planned this weekend. . . . so that's off.
Maybe the peaks will be ok, on open trail's. ( might get an allergy to rambler's though, there'll be millions of em'. )
All suggestion's, old wives tale's etc greatfully received. :thumbright:
