Anyone else finding that their hayfever is making them feel tearful and ill?

[limetrees32]

I just feel so unwell and fragile .
Maybe I've got a virus or something,

Same. I thought I had the start of a cold but it’s hay fever. I don’t remember having it this bad in previous years.

This is my worst season in around 30 years. Ended up getting the injection, its been a revelation

I take the orange packet Piriton which helps alot but makes me sleep for ages

What's the injection Jack?

I just feel such a wuss.

DH gets very distressed with hay fever. It’s awful. You have my sympathies.

Its so much worse this year for me.
I thought I was coming down with something but so many people have said they feel the same way I'm more inclined to think its hayfever now.

Yes first year I’ve actually had more than a few sneezes and “ooh wonder if I’ve got hayfever”.

think it may have been triggered by a trip and constant AC/HVAC drying out my sinuses/skin and making it more sensitive. Why Americans are obsessed with it I don’t know as it makes me feel awful.

i feel terrible. Exhausted, my face aches from my eyes through my teeth. I tried antihistamines which make me feel better but so tired. I’ve just discovered Beconase which seems to help.

and yes really teary and stressy. Everything is too much.

I managed to get mine sorted two years ago. I now take TreatHay which is fexofenadine. It’s been a game changer. Really helped me. I do still get it a little but nowhere near as bad. Hay fever is horrid. People don’t realise just how miserable it can be.

I have allergies to all airborne allergens. There is a lot of rapeseed being grown this year.

I don't get itchy eyes or sneezing anymore, it just goes straight for my sinuses, ears and throat. I now have vertigo. But I live with it all year round because of mould spores, even a walk outside in the rain requires me to have taken antihistamines.

I'm not tearful, but I am grumpy at times.

Husband now suffering from hay-fever and he's a grump too.

It has definitely been a much worse year for tree pollen than I can remember. I get very tired when I have symptoms, and very tired with antihistamines and have a bit of a cough going.

Boots have the fexofenadine in, so I may give that a go.

I feel worn out by it all.

I started this thread at the weekend

Then I decided I must have a virus

Now I don't think I have

To complicate matters, I'm having some particularly horrible dental work done and I grind my teeth - which is the cause of the dental work

However, I increasingly think the facial pain is from hayfever.

@limetrees32 you are not being a wuss.

The steroid?

And I get really bad SAD so to feel ill in summer seems unfair

it's not normally this bad - there is something strange about it this year. Normal things aren't helping. It's normally dealable with.

Yes it’s a steroid, Kenalog.

its not without its potential side effects but this year I took the plunge as I was so miserable

Mine has been bad this year and seemed to start much earlier (tree pollen). I tried the injection as it worked wonders for my husband last year, sadly not so much for me. Been sucking on my asthma pump like I smoke 20 a day, I rarely need to use it outside of hayfever season. The breathlessness really freaks me out and I feel so generally miserable.

Awful this year, very chesty, blocked ears, sore throat and raspy voice.

I also wondered if it was a bug but on balance I think it was hayfever for me. Luckily it seems to have stopped mid week for me

I’ve had hayfever this year having never suffered with it before. Particularly unhelpful as I work on a farm! I genuinely thought there was something seriously wrong with me then I realised what it was. (And it is serous as it’s making me feel permanently rough, but not life threatening obvs).

It’s particularly bad today. Can’t drive because my eyes are so bad.

I take this too. Three tablets a day at the moment which is above the recommended dose but safe. It’s not working as well as usual despite increasing the dose!

Yes. Been bad this year even with tablets.

I’m getting the fenoxafadine this weekend at boots.

Mine is the worst it has ever been 😳

The injection is life changing. I have had a tiny bit of itchy eyes so far this year and that’s it. I’m usually miserable.

Where’s everyone getting this injection from please?
