coppercrutch Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 There was a thread on this a few months ago. Someone (Thankyou stranger !!) recommended the hayfever natural remedy from glovers on William St. I got myself some and I reckon it is doing the job for me. I have had a bit of sniffling, slightly itchy eyes and a vague rough throat but that is it. Mildy irritating but nothing more. Last couple of years it has been way way worse. So either it is just dying down with age (As can happen) or the nameless poster is a fecking genius !! Pop in. 50 pills for about a fiver. Start off on 6 per day and then after a week move onto twice daily. Sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I've been suffering from sneezes all week, and its been really really bad. I've not a week like this in years. The last week and a half have been the worst i've suffered for many a year. I'd been slowly but surely suffering less and less over the last say 10 - 15 years but the last 10 days have been torture. Strangely, when i'm outdoors i'm fine. It's when i've been out and go indoors that it starts to really affect me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch wood still nothing so far this year which is surprising for me as I can get housebound by it.

Cisc0 K1d Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Cetirizine Hydrochloride helps me but sometimes nothing works and my nose and eyes just stream constantly been suffering for about a month this year but not that bad yet, bit of my own worst enemy as I play golf but you can hardly lock yourself indoors.

I P Knightley Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Never, ever had it as a youngster but come the age of about 35, I started with what I thought was a summer cold. Since then, it's got progressively worse each year. Am taking Loratidine each day (prescribed but Boots have their own brand stuff on at 2 for 1 just now). I also keep Flixonase spray handy just in case. Since last week, when I was wanting to scratch out my own eyes 'cos of it, I got one of those filter masks for cycling. An instant hit! I turn up for work fresh as a daisy and hay-fever suffering colleagues trudge in with red eyes. ?30 for top of the range but I'd recommend for cycling or biking; I was reluctant to go down that route (a) for looking a tube and ( for aggro with snot disposal but regret not having done so sooner. ps. I don't know whether the mask complies with dress code at the golf club but if I can't keep the ball on the fairway, I might try out the mask!!

Dr. Bapswent Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 You need to find the tablets that work for you. There are 2-3 different types. I found that Loratadine ones do it for me, whereas others do nothing. Try different ones, rather than just trying 1 type and expecting it to work.

Have to say I was a little doubtful but now I am hearing of everyone else having a seriosuly bad hayfever year and mine is pretty decent so far. I can only deduce those bad boys are doing their job. Cheap and natural. Give them a go. They told me they don't work for everyone. Some people have no impact from using them. Some it helps enourmously. Without getting too far ahead I am hoping I may be in group 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunny11 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I find loratadine to do nothing for me. Same with the nasal sprays. Cetrizine Dihydrochloride appears to do the trick for me, i get the sainsburys own brand for 95p or so. Its exactly the same as zirtex and another brand name i cant mind the name of. So far this year i have been ok, apart from a dodgy spell in early may. My worst patch is always during wimbeldon, so if it starts to go t*ts up i will try that natural remedy guff.

Poseidon Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I've tried so many different remedies over the year with varying results but nothing has helped the last couple of weeks. Most things I've been taking either stop the itchy eyes or the runny nose/sneezing but not both. Totally miserable half the time, and reaching double-figures in continuous sneezes on a daily basis. Might have to give the herbal stuff mentioned a go but not had much luck with similar stuff in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 feels like i have got bricks up my nose, whats your record for continous sneezing? sure i managed 22 in a row Try that Sterimar stuff. It's a salt water spray for your nose, but it really helps clear out the sinuses and does help with hay fever, if you take it along with the tablets that work for you. You can buy it in boots and it is about ?6/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdust Caesar Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Used to get prescribed Triludan which worked a treat. Don't know if it's still called that or if it is still available. Nasal sprays just tickle my nose and make me sneeze even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 i use neoclarityn that my brother gets prescribed. 1 tablet a day and im sorted. tried an own brand remedy once (cant remember whos own brand it was) and they gave me nose bleeds. think it may have been sainsburys but it could have been boots. anyway they were swiftly binned after 3 uses and 3 consecutive bloody noses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
