I wish I could work out what particular pollen is causing it though !! I never had any problems until last few years

Possible tests include:
Skin prick test for allergens
A skin prick test is usually the first test to be done when looking for an allergen. It's quick, painless and safe, and you get the results within about 20 minutes. Your skin is pricked with a tiny amount of the suspected allergen to see if there's a reaction. If there is, the skin around the prick will very quickly become itchy and a red, swollen mark called a wheal will appear.
Blood test for allergens
The blood test used to test for allergens is called a specific IgE test, formally known as the RAST test. It's used to measure the number of IgE antibodies in your blood that have been produced by your immune system in response to a suspected allergen.
Patch test for a skin reaction
The patch test is used to see if a skin reaction â for example, eczema â is caused by contact with a specific chemical or substance. A small amount of the suspect substance or chemical, such as nickel, is added to special metal discs, which are taped to your skin for 48 hours and monitored for a reaction. This test is usually carried out at a dermatology department in a hospital.

same medication, so finding out the cause makes little difference, Normally they can half suss it by the times you are most affected.
