Hay Fever in February!

[Susie477]

Ten days ago, the temperature was -5, there was snow on the ground and I was freezing my tits off.

Today, the temperature is +14 and I’m taking antihistamines because I've got a streaming nose, a blocked ear, sinusitis and a headache. British weather is crazy.

Is anyone else suffering?

I'm starting the antihistamines. The gunky eyes in the morning, perpertual sniffing fron nasal drip and sinus headaches have begun. It often starts around now when the catkins come out and the tree pollen starts and I can see them on the neighbour's hazel.

I also, as a bonus, have 3 itchy bites on my shoulder. While I have progressed to running in a t-shirt, I have not had bare shoulders!

I have had itchy eyes yday, I should probably start on my antihistamines to build up enough before it really hits

Ive started sneezing too - i think its tree pollen this time of year.

My hayfever is here too. Sneezing, rib discomfort, a scratchy throat and a general 'ugh' feeling. Last year was the first time I'd ever had it and I think it went on until October, when hayfever season was supposedly over. Just a few more months to go then.
