i contracted hayfever for the first time at the grand age of 33, and every year since, it has gotten worse. last year, i was on really strong prescription stuff, name ending in hydrochloride..
so, for the last week, i have been sneezing a lot, had dry eyes, and sinc e last night, a blocked nose. cant breathe, unless through mouth. the itchy eyes are not yet big time itchy, and tap water is working fine.
but there was snow in croydon yesterday...
so is it likely to be hayfever? or a cold?

dd2 is having allergic reactions, and dh (a long time hayfever vet) noticed his eyes stinging last week....lots of pollen around, I'd guess hayfever.

Then again, plenty of viruses still around - poor you, either way!

hayfever. mine started 2 weeks ago... can't believe it's started this early either, think we're in for a bad year of it.
I've never found anything that works - otc or herbal. humph....

I had my first ever bout of hayfever at the end of February beginning of March, at the ripe old age of 39!

It was tree pollen apparently, and it has eased off now so I am hoping no more tablets for me, as they really make me drowsy.
