It's been creeping up on me for two days. Today walking round the garden nearly caused my sinuses to explode! Met Office says we are not even in pollen season yet but Christ...

I'm a sneezing stuffy mess Blush

Anyone else?

In the South West for reference.

Too snuffy to see the off button

The fields around us are blooming glorious with daffodils. The magnolias and camelia’s are in full flow and the azaleas just starting. Also SouthWest and also suffering FlowersSad

Maybe covid?

Everyone I know pretty much has it.. including me and my husband and both neighbours, my mum who I haven’t seen and my niece who I’ve not seen either.

I'm in the East and suffering. Hay fever isn't just grass - mine is willow catkins and they are fully in bloom.

I had an awful couple of weeks in Feb and today my eyes have been so itchy and sore and I’ve been sneezy.
I never get much of a break from my hayfever., I’m definitely not just restricted to summertime.

Darley368 · 12/03/2022 18:45

Yes my hayfever has started in the last 24 hours. I know tree pollen is a big trigger for me and there are lots of catkins out plus lots of blackthorn blossoms. I usually have to take antihistamines from March to November, sigh

AnnaSW1 · 12/03/2022 18:45

Yep every year in March it starts with tree pollen for us. I'm so itchy!

OneTC · 12/03/2022 18:47

Yeah mine has kicked off in the last 48 hours

BenchBench · 12/03/2022 18:47

Covid test to rule it out then look up scaling your treatment by speaking to the chemist or your GP

ReflectiveJournal · 12/03/2022 18:49

I forgot to start anti histamine last month. I feel like such a snotty, itchy eyed idiot. Sad

SpaceyCake · 12/03/2022 19:01

Same! Also in SW. I've been saying it for a few days now and it's definitely hayfever. I know I always get it from March until October-ish, but every year it still surprises me for some reason. Confused

TheSimpleThings17 · 12/03/2022 19:06

Yep started last week - central Worcestershire, it starts this early every year and it always takes me a few days to realise it is actually hayfever and not a cold (or covid!) so annoying, hate taking antihistamines all the time and has definitely got worse with age!

SouthOfFrance · 12/03/2022 19:15

You been eating any new fruit like cherries, apples, peaches recently? Just a thought if it's not hayfever it could be oral allergy syndrome?

Have you been taking antihistamines?

AndAsIfByMagic · 12/03/2022 19:17

Yup. 2 weeks in here.

Westfacing · 12/03/2022 19:19

I'm in London and the itchy eyes kicked-off yesterday.

MurmuratingStarling · 12/03/2022 19:21

Yep a bit snuffly here. Signs of hayfever looming. Live in the countryside, so hayfever tends to be a bit worse than in the towns/cities.

Nidan2Sandan · 12/03/2022 20:53

Its tree pollen season, usually March to May time. My husband is suffering, then he will recover and I'll head in to grass season hayfever.
