I've always suffered a bit with hayfever, generally starting early in the year (Feb/mar) with tree pollen but also finishing fairly early, so less affected by the grass.
I started using nasal sprays alongside antihistamine about five years ago.
A couple of years ago I was needing antihistamines/sprays much later into the season, finishing around October.
Last year I just never got to a point I felt it was gone, and took antihistamines all winter too. When the tree pollen started this year, my preferred antihistamine (ceterizine) just didn't work.
So now I'm taking fexofenidine, becodefense nasal spray (the one which is meant to coat the inside of your nasal passages as a barrier), and a saline nasal spray. Most days this just about does it, but my throat and ears are vaguely itchy still and that definitely becomes more noticeable as the day goes on.
Then I have an occasional day, like today, when nothing touches it. I'm itchy, sneezy, my eyes are watering, the inside of my nostrils feels like they're burning and every now and then, without warning, watery snot just cascades from my nose.
It's all just so devastatingly attractive.
I have used the steroid nasal sprays before which helped a bit but the labels are full of dire warnings about only using it for a short period which is no good for me.
Loratizine makes me drowsy and doesn't work as well.
Other than cutting my head off and living in a sealed box, any tips?
