Oh Joy. an interesting new hayfever symptom.

[HerRoyalHighnessPrincessCervix]

my face is on fire. burning hot.

have my normal itchy sore puffy grumpy eyes but this appears to have taken over my whole face.

and it really really really really really really hurts.

any ideas what i can put on it?

aquaious calamine? antihistamine cream? I use both with DS and also a cold flannel too. Only helps in the short term though I'm afraid.

Not much help sorry.

DS has lost his voice this time - thats a new rather lovely for me symptom.

had shower, taken normal antihistamines. put on moisturiser. haven't got much else in.

it's really hot and sore and puffy. and my ips. v odd. and hurts. will put cool flanel on.

What is in the air this year. I have never had hayfever in April before, being a grass pollen end of May/June sufferer. My eyes are killing me and the sneezing is testing my bladder control TMI

another shower and more/different antihistamines?

Dd2 has gone to bed all snotty with a red face and is now coughing , i thought the p-count was ment to be low today?

Actually beertricks has a point. I use my eye cooling mask on DS when his are particulary bad.

Acid pollen cloud is in the news btw

Sorry I know it's not funny that you are suffering so much but that is a hilarious thought!

piriton, fast ! strong first generation anti histamine. that should work. then add the creams.

That is bloody typical. I have just got my symptoms under control, reducing my becotide to once a week. Now I have had to go back up again. I wondered why.
I hate Birch trees. Really hate them?

Yes me too, I suffer allergies all year around pop my piriton and not too much of an issue.

This weekend I am popping piriton like crazy and still my face feels like it's going to explode (sinuses).

I loatch silver c*nting birch at the mo, even eating fruit is a no no at the mo

BB Thats my DS too atm. Hope he's better today?

Even my Mum, the ever laid back re allergies (as you well know the reactions of others) decided not to take him to the garden centre yesterday as she had originally planned.

I think it's silver birch that is being the nightmare at the moment so all the tree blossoms?

I am suffering also but hoping that acid pollen will give me a chemical peel for free

BB DS was negative to grass pollen in his RAST.

Teo @ chemical peel

Do you think it's also because we haven't had any rain for ages? Nothing to make the pollen to stick to the ground etc. rather than floating around?
(Very untechnical explanation I know)
