i think its the oilseed rape plants. fields full of the yellow muck round here.
this time every year it gets me and the last few days i have felt YUCK!!
Step forward!
Present!
Me too!
I hate it, the sneezing drives me crazy (sometimes, I can sneeze up to 10 times in 30 seconds...) :angry5:
A few Loratadine pills is the way for me...
I used to have severe cases of allergic asthma in my early years but I undergone allergy imunotherapy and I feel much better now, haven't had a severe asthma case in years (knock on wood).
Other than having a plugged and/or a running nose all the time during spring, I do love this time of the year...
me too..
come june/july summer used to become a real bitch
runny nose,constant sneezing,itchy eyes and later on developed asthma for good measure
started when i was 18 and still got it 32 years later
but it's not as bad now i'm older
One of the best outcomes of moving to the IOM was the almost complete loss of hayfever symptoms - in Somerset, I had to be on Clarityn from about April to September. Over here, I have maybe 3-5 tablets a year!
I reckon a lot of it is the sea breeze and less pollution than I would've had in Yeovil.
I still have some Clarityn tablets both at home and work in case though
yup im with you guys it really sucks and the only thing that works for me is eye drops and nasal sprays but i cant even use the sprays for more than a couple of days as they give me chronic nose bleeds
Used to get it terrible when i lived in Essex (20 years ago), not so bad now. Had yellow fields all over. Holidayed in Devon (no yellow fields) all symptoms went away! Til we got back to Chelmsford!
Find the local bee keeper and stir a spoon ful in your coffee in the morning or make a honey and lemon before bed?
Old wives tale maybe, placebo? quite possibly? We always kept bees and although you could probably never really prove it, ketting zapped by the fiesty little buggers apparently aint all that bad for you!!?? ha! We used to get a lot of people requesting honey each year as they reckoned it worked with the hayfever gaf, but the honey has to be local and if its the oilseed-rape that gets you make sure you get the honey off the beekeeper that crystalises and sets in about a week! You will know you have the right stuff then. I assure you it is a right pain in the arse if you leave it in the frames/hive too long! We used to take so much rape seed honey off our bees we were giving the damn stuff away in buckets!
Best wishes with the alergies and hope it don't spoil too many summers.
I find Tesco own brand Loratadine pills work for me, I buy a months worth and start taking them March/April time to build up my defencies! Even riding around this lot the other day with no sneezing!
I suffered for years with terrible hayfever, itchy swollen red eyes, streaming nose and chest infections resulting from it.
I had accupuncture two years ago (I go four times a year now) and it is the best thing I have ever done in my life, I could literally walk through a rapeseed field now. I might sneeze a couple of times... but would be no where near as bad as I was.

suffered from hayfeave for years now and fed up with taking over priced pills which do b==ger all !! - last year i went to the doc and he gave me the following which are AMAZING!!!! - sorted it all out once and for all - they are:
I find really dark glasses helps. When it's too bad for that, terfanadine is the stuff that does it for me. The thing I can't sort is the heat. I always wear my jacket, with armour, but it's like a sauna ! Is there a magic cure for that??
There's no cure for hayfever, all pills prescription or off the shelf just mask the problem. As you grow older you become less sensitive to the various pollen spores, so you don't get hayfever symptoms as much.... so I'm led to believe

I've Beconase spray for the nose, Otravine for my eyes and currently trying Clarityn tablets for everything else, but still suffer the runny nose, sneezing and generally feeling sh1t, however what gets me the most is the itchy eyes..AAGGHH!!!
Maybe motorcycling isn't the best choice of transport this time of year? Or just spray the whole of the UK with agent orange, that should sort it
PS Farmer Palmer, or his brother Giles has just cut two eeeeeeeeeenormous fields of rape near here and I'm already missing that amazing heady sweet perfume on the way to the cottage.
S'gert lush as they say near here!!
