Hayfever started early?

[Zeeky]

Hi all. I've suffered with severe hayfever all my life which ruins every summer. Thankfully it is only grass that causes it from end of May to mid July. The only times I have been hayfever free were when I spent a summer in Chicago when I was 18 (must be different grass there!) & when pregnant with ds1.

This year, the tell-tale symptom started at beginning of April - 2 months early !!! I'm totally blocked up or else sneezing & my eyes are awful - itchy, runny & so swollen in the morning I can hardly open them. Antihistamines & nasal sprays never have much effect.

Is anyone else experiencing hayfever super eay this year? Is it because of this beautiful weather? It. Is so annoying as I usually really enjoy spring & spend lots of time gardening in preparation for having to stay indoors more in June/July!

The season has started very early this year for tree pollen. I get an injection usually in feb but was advised that it was prob a bit late this year.
I also have found a local honey supplier [cottage industry type thing] and eat that which is supposed to build up an immunity if it is grass pollen that is the cause.

Me . I feel wretched and my eyes are like red slits a la Voldemort, so itchy I could scratch them out. Some years I suffer worse than others

My mum is sending me some Piriton eye drops. Has anyone tried them?
