Awww Renton....it must be a nightmare   I do get it , but only in the last few years , and thankfully only mildly !! Have you spoken to the doctor or pharmacist about it ? 

*whispers* ...hope that helps 

Yes - i have been to the doctors (last year) and have some Fexofenadine remaining.

It's expensive but i'm worth it

Is that you, Cheryl?

I don't suffer with hay fever. Hope that helps.

I get Loratadine from the docs, a month's supply at a time cos I use them for hives on my skin too. They do just the same job 

The BBC are really scraping the bottom of the barrel if this is the latest in the  'Watch' series !!!

I received Fexofenadine cos the common or garden variety was having zero influence.

Apparently it is also available over the counter at £15 a month!!!

He knows erm ... Bernard Mathews

Yeah, it depends on what pollen you're allergic to

I feel for you, I really do.

My youngest two kids suffer really badly with hayfever, in recent years i've been a crap Mum and not been on the ball. Both my (now) 6yr old daughter and 13 yr old son have been so bad their eyes look like they have been in a boxing ring!! (I have pics to prove it ) This year i have been a good Mum and i have had them both on their anti histamines for the past 2/3 weeks, they have had the odd sneezing fit but 100% better than before. so hopefully they wont flare up and end up needing eye drops 2-3 times a day on top of the anti histamines this time round.

Oh btw i have been told that eating locally produced honey form a hive in your area is supposed to help massively.... There is also an injection you can get that a coworkers son has had and it's worked really well for him, might be worth looking into

Yes, that was being promoted by the bee keepers association. 

Just pulling your leg Jen - I too have also heard that, a bit like people who are allergic to nuts, giving them really small amounts. 

I'm allergic to poverty

Hate using public ruddy transport (which I don't anymore since I left work and it was horrible while I did - except trains but then i'm a bit of a geek in that respect)

Aldi - no

Lidl - nope

Primark - once (it hurt)

I used to have injections in March every week for six weeks when I was at school. Thankfully it's not that bad now but still enough to make me hate it. I wouldn't give it to my worst enemy

Thanx for the tip Sprout, I won't look into that for the kids then

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

And this was over 40 years ago.....things will have moved on since then 

I must be even more advanced cos the moving on stuff aint catching up to me 

Eyes still hurty today 

Sorry Saint, but that's one of the things you have to get used to. It never completely goes away. All you can do is keep it under control in the months that you're affected. 

Just think, if you weren't taking anything how much worse it would be. Although I still advise going to the docs and seeing what other medication is available. It's a case of trying different ones until you find the right one 

Have a 'prick' test to see what kind of pollen you're allergic to, because that can determine what medication they give you 

Tested to see if i'm a prick !!!!

You terrible woman 

*storms off*

PMSL!!! 

And in my opinion....mine only, get better advice from the doc. I don't think it can be a good thing with your lenses if pollen is getting in behind them it might possibly be doing damage to the surface of your eyes?   

Maybe that's why they are hurting as much 

Thank you Nurse Sprout

In your hands we are a safer Gaga

 ... or something

Be careful, or I'll not offer you any advice again   

Although.....you can take it or leave the advice I already have
