Agghh! My eyes... my precious eyes!

And it just snuck up on me out of nowhere. Curse you summer... curse you and your ways!

*shakes fist blindly*

Is it summer already?

Damn.

my eyes have been stinging for the last week now.

time to get my hayfever tabs on prescription.

Ugh_tC spouted:

I know! Nobody told me...

You know it's summer when you start getting electric shocks from your car.

And surely anti-histamine is cheaper not on prescription? Particularly the Galpharm ones - their paracetamol is also dead cheap but exactly the same as the big name stuff.

Dont' talk to me about anti-fookin-hystamines - had one last night since I was havin a skin problem - went round to my mates house afterwards, and forgot about the sleep inducing qualities...

had to wait for an age and eat acurry until I was awake enough to drive home!

last time I use those fookers

ahh hayfever i wish it would sod off
i tried some of them galpharm anti dodahs and they arnt very good the doctor prescribes stronger ones and i usually get a lovely thing you squirt up your nose and smells like fibre glass .... oh what joy!
every morning i get up apply my make-up and within half an hour my eyes have watered so much ive washed all my make up away !! total waste of time

I have been told I have All-Year hayfever, and whilst I don't often get runny eyes, I do get short random bursts of sneezing no matter what time of year it is, though it occurs far more when it's in season!

you pay your prescription money ('bout 6£) and you get 30 tabs. you don't get that much for 6£ in the chemist.

a good cure for it is flat coke.....o wait...i thought you said hang-over :(

Oh well Mr Postie, if you get 30 tablets then great - go for it! I don't use them enough to bother the doctor. Though the incessant sneezing thing is rhinitis - for which you can get Beconase by prescription, but can also now get it (a smaller version) over the counter. It do work quite goodly and be worth a try.

Or try inhaling flat coke (if it doesn't work, blame Sammy!)

How fine do I cut it then?

You don´t snort it, you grind it into a buttey.

My eyes are burning. My nose is stuffy. My throat is dry. I am overtired. It is not nice. I am not happy. Meh! Hot weather sucks!! :(

im not sure if i get hayfeever or not. my eyes are fine but my poor old nozzle runs like a bastard sometimes.

i did get tablets years ago biut they did fuck all apart from make me drowsy.

Horrible horrible horrible. I remember it well, and offer my deepest sympathy.

Beer helps, the strong and more guest-ale-like the better :D

clarityn. great hayfever tablets.

I only get it some years ( when I am very stressed) and then I have the injection because it lasts and its cheaper.

I'm a Zirtec kid!

Agghh! My eyes... my precious eyes!

I've always had a problem with the eyes thing until this year.
I was prescribed some anti-histamine eye drops by a new doctor, to go with the Clarityn that i've always taken.

No more sticky or scratchy eyes. It's called Opticrom.
It's my friend.

It's for real.

try weed, it dries up secretions ;)

Do I call him Doctor?

you can call him anything you like. i spoke to him earlier and i called him cunt.

Rainier Wolfcastle spouted:
Mein eyes! The goggles do nothing!

I get hayfever like a bastard, but only at certain times when certain plants are flowering.

I was speaking to my chemist, and she suggested lots of onions: Apparantly the whole ticture of Alum thing is a good anti-histamine. So lots of onion soup for me, followed by a good toothbrushing.

I'm not sticking dope up my schnozz!

any attempt at such would see you declared as "a dope"

stoke_fields spouted:

What year?

Hayfever is an invention of a cruel and capricious God inflicted on those who enjoy summer too much.

/me opens his head up and scoops the itchy stuff out

stoke_fields spouted:

Me too! Do you remember when they were called Triludan Forte. They took those off the market as they were too strong.

I've never had the same kick since.

Cheers you reminded me to get some this evening cos I is out...:)

Hmm might try Zirtec this time see if they is any better,,

We're over it here for a few months. The itchy burning eyes were a bastard. Hubby suffers hay-fever all year round and sneezes at a volume that could cause damage to your hearing. He uses Rhinocourt.

I use clarityn prescribed by doctor, as i get more tablets for my money. Hayfever sucks, especially when you're also asthmatic.

I've never suffered with hayfever, although they say it can sneak up on you at any time of life.

Hopefully i'll manage to avoid it for a while longer...

I never had it untill, aged 18, I had a cocktail of drugs pumped into me for when I went to South America. When I came back it hit me like an Omnibus from above.

Being a veteran Hay Fever sufferer of some 20 years here are my top tips:

- Piriton make you sleepy but do the job
- All homeopathic remedies are useless
- If you find yourself with a runny nose and itchy eyes the only cure apart from Piriton is alcohol. You never get hay fever when you are blind drunk
