I suffered both Asthma and Hay fever from Childhood, the tablets the Doc gave me as a kid never helped, and the Hay fever made the Asthma really bad. (and my Dr wouldn't let me have an inhaler, said I would get addicted to it, I got one when I moved to Devon, because the tablets I was taking for Asthma were said to be "harmful" )

 

 

As a kid, and growing up, the more time I spent by and in the sea, the better I felt.

 

I was still not good with the Hay fever 6 or 7 years ago, Asthma was diminishing, feels like it's gone now, 5 or 6 years ago

 

And I haven't suffered Hay fever for at least 3 years

The tablets are far better these days, I use Loratadine, PLUS for the last 3 years I've taken a teaspoon of local honey every day starting in early March

I suffer from the year round variant, rhinitis. Before I found a way of treating it, it was miserable. Nose running like a tap, red itching eyes and a raspy cough. (Think it might be a dust mite allergy). I tried loratadine which didn't touch it, then I tried Cetirizine which is really effective. I take one at bedtime so any drowsiness will work in my favour.

Try putting Vaseline at the opening of your nose....it catches the pollen. ( may look weird but it works ! )

 

I now use Piriton antihistamine.

 

Years ago I used to have a steroid injection, which would last about a month, to get me through the worst of the season.

Well thanks for all the advice everyone. I took the clarityn for the past couple days and also local honey. might be a bit early to tell but my breathing does seem a bit better. Will know better when I start climbing on tuesday. Off work Thursday so will be heading to the doctor for a check up anyway. Hopefully this thread will help others in my shoes too.

I expect that the dry crap in that conifer hedge didn't help. I have been blasting out black snot for the last 3 days.

Try taking only half a Rohypnol.

[Steve Bullman]

Probably didn't help!

Steve the honey will take a few weeks to start working

Do you live far from the sea?

 

If it's not too far I would get to the beach in the evening for a walk (or a fishing session ) and get some sea air in your lungs, and less pollen there, will help with the hayfever
