crooked*smile Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 my dad and brother are really bad, but luckily I missed out on it, phew. that having said, I'm a bit sniffly this summer, I guess cos the pollen count down here's so flipping high.

Lemonade Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 It's the inside of the throat being itchy that drives me crazy. It's fucking horrible and you can't do anything about it. Oh and the headaches, constant sneezing and dry red eyes aren't much fun either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Mac Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I have just started to get horrific hayfever the past couple of years.This weekend was particularly bad.I think it's time I made an appointment at the doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt2000 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hayfever sucks.I know its not as strong as presciption meds, but I use the pills you get at ASDA - you get 7 for 97p or something - so 30 = about £4 which is less than prescriptions and it does seem to work pretty well - used to take Zirtec tho and that was much better, but my symptoms arent as bad these days - it comes and goes.
