I feel miserable. Constant itchy nose and needing to sneeze. Sneezes are huge and hurt my chest and throat. Eyes are puffy and itchy. Eczema flares up. Asthma gets worse.
This is the third year in a row I’ve felt like this at this time of year. Starts end on Aug and will last pretty much until Christmas. I have good weeks and bad weeks but it doesn’t seem to go away. I’m having to take antihistamines every day as well as decongestants. My nose is either like a tap or so blocked I struggle to breathe (I can’t seem to breath through my mouth when I sleep so it ends up I have crap sleeps)
Went to the gp last year who prescribed a different type of antihistamine. This worked better than the one I was taking but still didn’t eliminate the symptoms. A nurse did a blood test which came back that I was reacting to ‘something’ but they could tell me what 😵💫. Dr referred me to the immunologist (I think 🤔) last December but haven’t heard anything since.
I feel so grumpy and irritable all the time with it, and I know there’s a lot worse things I could be suffering from but it really is very frustrating!
I am definitely sensitive to dust, but I’m not sure why it would affect me more at this time of year?
Anyone else suffer from allergies at this time of year, and have you found out what’s causing them?
My poor nose is cracked and peeling and my eyes are so bloodshot I look like I’m constantly hungover 🙈.
