And ask them to remove my eyeballs and replace them with ones that aren't itching like buggery fuck.

Bastard pollen.

i will do it with a spoon for you for the right price Grin

AgentZigzag · 25/05/2012 19:04

I'll do it, save you the bother of waiting for the call back?

valiumredhead · 25/05/2012 19:05

You need some anti histamine eye drops - magic drops in a bottle we call them Grin

AgentZigzag · 25/05/2012 19:05

Shock at giraffe charging.

valiumredhead · 25/05/2012 19:06

giraffes have you read The Sisters Brothers? Shock Grin

They will send you to a chemist Smile

Shower off the pollen when you get in. Sunglasses, shut the windows. Eye drops, nasal spray OTC.

Antihistamines if they help you. Other suggestions here to save you waitinghalf an hour for the call handler to read it to you Wink

YANBU at all - that sucks. Good suggestions above though!!

AgentZigzag · 25/05/2012 19:09

I don't think the OP was seriously asking for advice on ringing NHS Direct to remove her eyeballs MoaningMicro Grin

alistron1 · 25/05/2012 19:10

They are a bit pus'y too. I will sacrifice my eyeball removal to the highest bidder. Forget pus porn, this is the real deal Wink

(I have got eye drops - no good. Nothing helps and apparently I should just put up with it)

I could do it for you but as I have already scratched my own eyes out I might miss & stick something up your nose instead Grin

Tea bags?

MarySA · 25/05/2012 21:03

They used to recommend lying down with slices of cucumber over your eyes.

ornellaia · 25/05/2012 21:10

I used to get the mad itchy eyeballs with hayfever and eyedrops made no difference at all, until I was prescribed Rapitil by an allergy consultant. They actually work for me, after years of having bright red, insanely itchy, streaming eyes - plus the pus coloured gunk. It doesn't seem to be something that GPs prescribe, most I've seen have never heard of it, but have been happy to prescrive when I ask for it.

valiumredhead · 25/05/2012 22:39

I was given Rapitil when I sprayed hair spray in my eye and went to the eye clinic Blush

valiumredhead · 25/05/2012 22:40

I thought it was just anti histamine drops?

valiumredhead · 25/05/2012 22:40

Oh look, I have gone all Austrailian Wink

ornellaia · 25/05/2012 22:44

I think rapitil is different to other antihistamines, I don't know how or why, I just know it's the only only one of the many drops I tried that actually works.

And to hairspray in your eye Shock
