HAYFEVER to ask how yours is?

posting for traffic 🙂

How is your hayfever treating you at the moment? Is it worse than before?

I ask as i've had such bad reactions i've been blue lighted to hospital and have EpiPens littered around house/work/car etc. It has literally NEVER been like this 😔.

I've had chest x-rays, given preventer and reliever inhalers and gas blood tests to determine exact allergy (to be fair my Dr rocks with his efficiency in checking what it is 🙂). Haven't had the results yet so could well be something more sinister (god i hope not as it's happened v quickly so if it is can't imagine it's good but i'm putting that to one side!)

I just want to hear i'm not alone with the hayfever, until about two weeks ago i hadn't even suffered from itchy eyes of had any sneezing (usual from May-July).

BTW still no sneezing, feel congested, short of breath, chest pains, threat tightening, lightheaded and slightly nauseous and occasional facial rash. Eyes are sticky in the morning but otherwise usual symptoms have disappeared!

If you want to tell me how you haven't suffered this year - go ahead 😁 but if you know of anyone who has had severe reactions this year i'd appreciate hearing 🙂

Oh yes, oral allergy syndrome. I've had that for a few years too. Lovely juicy peaches and nectarines are off my list. Sad

Nooooooo not the peaches! 😢😢😢😢

Yep 😭
We spend lots of time in rural France too - drooling over giant nectarines is a favourite past time.

Not any more for me!

Oral allergy syndrome is the pits!

This is all a bit freaky - you lot have basically repeated my symptoms right back to me including never being that bad before, dizzy when standing up and brand new asthma.

I'd been heaps better over the last couple of weeks but yesterday/today I've been awful and my peak flow readings have gone right down. Heartening to know I'm not alone.

it is totally shit. that's all i'm going to say!

This is so weird. I've suffered with HF since I was about 7 but this year I've barely known I had it.

I've used the nasal spray where necessary but it's hardly been needed.

Why?!???!
