Title: If I did a sponsored sneeze event...
Post by: rdfcpete on July 05, 2014, 08:24:48 pm
I've realised that I could supply millions of pounds a year to more than ten charities for the rest of my life  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:   :booty: :sad1:

Cetrizine hydrochloride based tablets work pretty well with me so I know the fix, it's just I hate living on tablets. Can't be good for us long term so only take when my nose turns into a tap and by the time my face looks like Hitch, when he has the allergic reaction. And as it's chronic rhinitis that I've got, it's all year round  :wink: Literally everything sets it off, animal hair, tree sap, pollen, change in room temperature, dust, raw onion, spray of aftershave... As you can tell, I'm the perfect SAS sniper  :grin: :laugh: :fighting:

Who else suffers nasal related allergies, rhinitis, hayfever or similar? Fun, isn't it  :evilgrin:

Yep

I've found a combination of Beconaise nasal spray and the tablets helps best.

Apparently a spoon full of local honey a day is meant to help with hay fever but you have to start earlier in the year

That's what my sister does, spoonful of local honey each day and it does work.

I get terrible hayfever. I get a prescription drug called Avamys and it's bloody brilliant. Once it's got to work I only have to use it 2 or 3 times a week.

Weirdly, when I went to Florida a couple of weeks back all the symptoms disappeared and then came back with a vengeance as soon as I was back in the UK.

Yeah we got bad pollen over here with all the fields so close to built up areas etc and the weather conditions. I use the nasal spray with piriton aswell it seems to work for me.

It's not nice at all :(

Zirtec are really good, once a day and don't make you too drowsy. Just got over toxic food poisoning from sh*ttake mushrooms which seems to have eased the hay-fever symptoms the past week  :stupid: :confused: i wouldn't advise eating sh*ttake mushrooms undercooked OR raw  :scared:

I started with it when i was about 16/17. It never gets really really bad (eyes streaming etc), but its bad enough. I take Benadryl Plus.... they seem to do the job.

You're right mate, it does - although it's not cheap (locally) and it only eases the problem. I have two spoonfuls in my morning tea of flask which is great as a natural sweetener, but I soon run out. Only local butchers & farms + places that don't get it by the bucket load do it  :ashamed:

I get terrible hayfever. I get a prescription drug called Avamys and it's bloody brilliant. Once it's got to work I only have to use it 2 or 3 times a week.

Me neither - this from what I know at a scientific level is because the air is much drier (particularly in Mediterranean heats) hence the pollen content is naturally lower. In this country, he have a very damp and polluted air which means most peoples nasal defence is naturally thinned compared with abroad.

I went to Zambia (Central Africa) for a Safari last year and I forgot I even had allergies, and that was in their Winter during late July/early August too.

I started with it when i was about 16/17. It never gets really really bad (eyes streaming etc), but its bad enough. I take Benadryl Plus.... they seem to do the job.

Apparently stress during A-Level/etc exams can expose it Rich so that'd make sense, mine was 14/15 during GCSE's when hayfever first kicked in.
Stress/pressure makes it worse too  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

I know people in their late twenties that develop it from absolutely nowhere.

i get hayfever really bad - day jobs as a pharmacist so i tend to be dosed up on cetirizine

give prevalin a go for all of you who suffer from nasal symptoms, that dries it up pretty fast. its also best to take the cetirizine daily when in pollen season (which depending on which pollen your allergic to could be all year round!)

I sneeze just about every morning, year round.. Dust, dogs, cats, trees and other pollen all make me sneeze.. And my body can't/won't just sneeze once either... It's more like 5/6 in a row, each time I sneeze, this isn't good when driving  :scared:... Hayfever is the worst

Prevalin did nothing for me except give me a nasty taste in my mouth/throat. Plus it costs 10 flippin' quid!

 :grin:

Yup - Sneezing five/six times back to back when you're driving makes things interesting  :driver: :rolleye:  :scared:
