bloomin hayfever

[misdee]

argh, hayfever kicked in, and not even piriton is helping dd2. her eyes are so sore, and her asthma is affected.

dh is at the docs with her now, am hoping they come up with something to help her. poor girl

dh also getting his hayfever meds sorted, he said its horrible outside today, and his eyes are sore as well.

Hi! My sinuses have been bad for 3 days now, migraine everyday then ds3 ezcema really bad! The joys of pollen have begun! Hope you get some relief x

I wonder if that's what DP's got then...

He's come home with what seems like a crap cold but he suffers BADLY with hayfever (thought it was a bit early though?)

There are hayfever threads popping up all over, so the season's clearly begun.

Misdee - I wrote about it elsewhere earlier, but my DD's hayfever triggers her asthma, and she is helped greatly by desloratadine (Neoclarityn), which she has on prescription. If that's what your DD & DH bring home from the doctor, it should help (I know different people respond to different remedies).

have you tried cutting out wheat? works well for dh who is so so so bad.
also dose up on vit C.

Someone told DP to eat a locally produced honey every day. He is going to try it

they have doubled her steroid inhaler, given her a different anti histimine, and eye drops. hopefully this will make things more comfortable for her.

AntiH's take about 3-4 days to "ramp up", IME.

DH got hit with a sudden hayfever-like reaction to something out of the blue yesterday. He doesn't get hayfever

I was sympathetic (honest), and provided drugs from my stash, but while he was moaning about how debilitating it was I was all the while thinking "Ha - see - all these years you have been telling me it is just a runny nose and you don't know what I am moaning about"

honey is a crap myth. didn't wok for me.

pollen is utterly shite at the mo. am considering being nocturnal for a few months.

Really? I won't tell him and hopefully it will have some sort of placebo effect

DP described himself as feeling like he was "on heroin" earlier. I pointed out that folk under the influence of heroin tend to gouch out somewhat and remain generally non-verbal

He, OTOH, insisted on giving me 5min updates on his deteriorating condition

oh apparently the falling ash from the volcano can cause the same symtoms as hayfever,. coughm running nose, sore eyes, inxcreased wheeziness.

so hayfever or ash.

i think its hayfever.

notnowbernard - it's not too early for hayfever. There is loads of tree blossom around and I have been waking up with red-raw throat for a few weeks (until I started taking the AntiH's every day and now I am more or less OK)

The honey remedy doesn't stand up to clinical trials, apparently, though it seems to work for some. Wouldn't hurt to try.
