It worked at the time though Jen.   Who's to say the kids won't benefit from it 

My sons eyes have been puffy today and yesterday even with his pills bless him.... Think he will end up having eye drops again

Years gone by if you'd said your son was 'puffy' but the tablets should sort him out ... eyes would have been raised 

 

Sorry about that  *walks away*

You may have seen in the papers in the last day or so that the University of Exeter & the Met Office have created 12 maps of hotspots around the country for hay fever sufferers.
You may want to make a note of the following link to the maps.

How does it affect you Sproutling?

Watery eyes (continually dabbing/wiping them) and runny nose. A bit like cold symptoms and I can't tell which one it is when it first starts  

 

Oh and also what I call a 'furry' nose, like someone's dragging a feather over the bridge of it 

Furry snouted Sprout - nice (or not really)

It's nasty and hard to explain to people who have never had hayfever how bad it really is

OMG avoid SPECSAVERS

My Dad goes and EVERY time he has a new prescription and guess what NEW glasses at ÂĢ100 a pop!!

I even said,

"This is crazy - new prescription EVERY time? He must have about 10 pairs of used glasses upstairs. I've been going to Boots for years and had a prescription change ONCE in years."

 

Avoid like the Plague - they will rip you off  !!!!

 

 .. and yes I know everyone is different and prescriptions change, hope that helps etc . . . .

My kids are bad today too, meds and eye drops haven't touched it. My 13yr old son stayed off school today cos his eyes were a mess going to bed and the same again this morning bless him. 

 

saint did I mention there's an injection? Supposed to be good.

I used to get injections every week for six weeks when I was at school (over 50 years ago)  starting in March.  They seemed to keep it at bay then and obviously things will have come on in leaps and bounds  

 

I still do get it, but the tablets I get from the docs are quite good

It's like.....someone (an offender) came into our office yesterday wanting to see his probation officer. His partner had left him and his life had broken down.......I was of the same mind as her......deal with it.......it happens to other people too  

 

She's not there to be a shoulder to cry on, she's there to see that he sticks to the rules of his offence

So mine hayfever has not let up recently and prompted a GP visit 

Got Fexofenadine  and nose spray and eye drops 

 

And then last night - my eyes had been itchy all day - my left eye began to swell !!

And close and swell and go blood shot.

Today - off to the walk-in centre to be told I have an infection, possibly conjunctivitis.

Wonderful.

I haven't really been big on "sharing" here, but seeing as others have been forced to see the doctor...

 

Not sure I've mentioned it before, but I'm an asthmatic, so I tend to get nervy around hay fever season and I'm first in the queue when flu jabs are available. In the past few years I've usually suffered a hay fever attack around May, so I thought I'd escaped it this year.

 

Then I got hit about a fortnight ago with one of the worst attacks I can remember.  I've been trying - unwisely - to tough it out, but I finally saw the asthma nurse yesterday. The result is I'm on a course of antibiotics and my steroid (inhaler) intake has been quadrupled. The effect has been immediate (although it will still take some time before I'm back to normal), but I thought I'd better warn you that if I seem a little quiet at the moment It's because I'm concerned about committing the internet equivalent of DUI!

Awwww Eugene  

I know (in part) your pain - it's dreadful 

I can't remember so many people being affected when I was a kid - why is that?

 

Anyhoo - glad your treatment is working

Tried my contact in again to watch BB - and nooooooooooo

It was terrible - very gritty - wonder if it's a build up of pollen throughout today?

 I hope things settled down soon.
