Hayfever !!!

Hayfever !!!
Copped it worse this year than I can ever remember. Nothing is bloody working.... I did get some respite via using Sudafed of all things on top of all the propriety main brands.
Having a rare night off of work because of it.... Well one where I actually am sick that is.
I've made a vow... from now on as soon as my job situation allows (fingers crossed) come October through to December I'm going to be away from Melbourne.
Can't frigging sleep because of it.... exhausted really.
Anyone else copping it bad this year ?

I then took tabs from a bottle of Walmart $3 allergy pills from their pharmacy section Those things are amazing, helpful in flu type things too, or rashes.
If you are over there try its their own brand, I bring back each year. Will look up active ingredient for you end of week when back in Melb.

Re: Hayfever !!!
Ozzie have you tried Polaramine? There's a non-drowsy one for the day, and a 'knock you out' one that'll give you a terrific sleep.
It's the only thing that ever worked for scouse.

Apologies if this isn't available in Oz - As i'm in the US here. But do suffer from Hayfever.
As i've mentioned on another part of this forum I swear by Beconase (known as Flonase in the USA). The nose spray works wonders if sprayed first thing in the morning and lasts the whole day.

Re: Hayfever !!!
Thanks all for the advice..... I used to use Polaramine way back when and it did work really well...but it was no good for night shift workers once i got onto nights. I didn't realise they did a non drowsy version.
Anyway I've been to the quacks, got some flexitide and some Nasal stuff so I'll give that a burl before I try some Polaramine again.
Feeling much better already....but the wind is from the south over the sea so little or no pollen in the wind I'm guessing

I recommend pregnancy. My hayfever has become 98% better since spitting out a few rugrats.

Re: Hayfever !!!
Oh I'm fixed..... Used a nasal spray and flexitide..... Well when I say I'm fixed I'd say my symptoms are 80 pct better. I can sleep properly again and that was a major issue.
Nasonex fixed my stinging itchy eyes and blockages and Flexitide helped my Hayfever triggered asthma persistent cough.
I'd advise anyone where the tablets aren't working to try this stuff.....
