Hayfever.

[Clouds_mate]

Me again.

Does anyone else suffer? I started about 5 years ago and really really gets on my tit (fatty man boobs see other thread)

I was given blue little pills to pop everynight but thats crap. Has anyone had the injection from the docs? How much does it cost and what it like?

a girl i was seeing before had hayfever. when she pissed me off i used to drive to feilds n open windows. i remember she had these pills for it and they seemed to work good

yup mine developed about 8ish years ago. I dont do jack with pillz and stuff, I just get by and suffer. Mines pretty mild though, usually just lots of sneezing, bit of itchy eyes and that.

take it these pills are antihistamines (sp) they should work but not sure how much the injection costs might get it free

[smartgavin]

I dont think they do an injection anymore, they used to years ago but it was discovered to be dangerous. I get really bad hayfever and the only thing doctors have ever been able to do is tell me to go to the chemist and buy the strongest antihistamines they have.

thay still do the injection but only on extreme cases

i have it quite bad but found piriton to be the best

Vitamin C (orange juice mainly) not only supports the immune system, but helps the body defend itself against the consequences of having too much histamine released. It can also help reduce the release of histamine

Bioflavonoids are the substances that give fruits and vegetables their rich colours. They are synergistic with vitamin C, which means if you use the two together, you will get even more benefit. The best bioflavonoid for hay fever is quercetin, which helps stabilise the cell membranes of those cells that would otherwise discharge their supply of histamine into the surrounding blood and tissue.

stinging nettle tea (Urtica dioica) is a hotbed of herbal pharmacological activity and one of the most effective natural remedies for hay fever. It contains both vitamins C and K, as well as immune-boosting proteins and an anti-inflammatory agent called scopoletin,

If you know you have a hay fever sufferer in the family, a daily teaspoon of local honey dissolved in warm water could help keep the symptoms at bay. Naturopaths say this works because it delivers a tiny dose of local pollen, which is usually the main trigger for an attack. This tiny daily dose then helps the body build resistance so that when spring or summer arrive and pollen is everywhere, the body is already protected.

Had it all my life, its well bad in autumn when this spiky bush starts flowering everywhere near me.

Basically, sunglasses and zirtec are the work of God.
