Is anyone else's hay fever starting up already?

Woke up this morning sneezing constantly with a tickly nose and my eyes have just started watering. I'm allergic to tree pollen so it's not unusual for me to start sneezing in February when the hazel catkins get busy but this seems ridiculously early.

I'm going to take an antihistamine and if that sorts it out I'm probably on them till August, it's infuriating!

I took a Piriton this morning!!

Since Sunday evening I've had a very sore and bloodshot eye, since my eyes are
watering I thought I would let my body take care of itself. Today I popped up to the local chemist for advice. I was told I was suffering from Hay fever and I laughed in their face. I was told to take an antihistamine, thankfully I have some from last year and yes they are still in date.

I don't get Hay Fever in the normal way, I get symptoms now and then but not the full blown hay fever. This is because I was de-sensitized back in the late 70's early 80's which cured my hay fever.

Yes. Coughing and runny nose together with itchy eyes, ears and throat.

I have year round allergies to dust, pollen and animals so I take one loratadine daily but yesterday I had to take a Fexofenadine instead.

The tree pollen count has been high the last couple of days apparently.

Itchy, watery eyes for the past 2 weeks. Seems mad when we’ve got snow (thanks trees). Have taken some piriton. This will be me until May.
