Mundi Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have this really annoying thing with hayfever that pisses me off above any other symptom - The roof of my mouth gets itchy. It starts tickling/itching a bit so you lick the roof* with your tongue and then it gets worse and you can't help but doing it, and it just feels horrible. This is the bane of my life. The only think I can do to make it feel better is to scratch with my tongue (resulting with some strange noises coming from my mouth that annoys everyone around me) but it never leaves!

Fierce_LiNk Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Hehe, Hayfever. Like Heeeeey Juuuuuude. It's never affected me, but I've always been around friends who've had it. I kinda wish I could...have it, at least for a while. Just to see what it's like. Although, what I think would help would maybe be the chilli pepper idea from the first post. Maybe eating a few curries here and there, as they're good at cleaning your system. So, I say Curry. Edit: Also, wouldn't scented candles help at all?

dwarf Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Bump So yeah, my hayfever has come back now, and it's really pissing me off again. I've only really had the allergy for a couple of years, so I haven't really found the best medication for it. I haven't taken anything this year so far, and I was wondering if Boots still sold that allergy relief thing for a tenner or whatever? Anything to stop the itchy mouth and eyes, the sneezing and the other nose problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) It'll be another couple of months before this affects me. I get the itchy eyes and throat only, but it's seriously annoying. I still have a drawer right next to me here at work full of antihistamines and eye baths from last year. Edited April 12, 2010 by Shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I get mine around June/July, used to be really bad when I was a kid with my eyes swelling up etc. These days I just take Piriton which works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAMBOT4000 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I suffer very badly from hayfever. I sneeze alot, my eyes burn, I can't breathe and sometimes I can't see a thing. I've tried the hayfever tablets and after a while, they stopped working. Then I saw an advert for a machine called the Alergy Reliever for a tenner from Boots so I bought it and ever since I've used it, I haven't sneezed or rubbed my eyes or anything. I'm so much happier now. I advise any people who have allergies to pollen, dust or pets to get it because it works. I suffer pretty badly too. Really annoying in the Summer because I head out to the beach feeling happy about myself and then instantly turn into a snotty, sneezy, red eyes mess! Hayfever tablets never did anything for me either. I saw that machine last year actually Dazz, was meaning to pick it up but I could never justify a tenner on something that might not work. Glad to hear it's helped you out though, might have a wander into boots today and pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raining_again Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I have hayfever symptoms all year round (medical stuffs) though mines not ALWAYS severe, its always there. Anti histamines work the best, I'm not aware that theres a miracle cure... @ dwarf - Maybe its worth seeing your gp if its that bad? Maybe they know what eet is.

Pancake Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hayfever tablets never used to work for me. But then last year i was doing my annual cycle through every brand and amazingly i found one that worked. Now a year later... i've forgotten which bloody brand it was.

Mr_Odwin Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Remember to buy non-brand tablets rather than something like Zirtek. The active ingredient is the same, but the non-brand stuff is way way cheaper. I get my hayfever drugs from Chemist Direct. 30 tablets for 30p. You have to factor in p&p, but buy a couple of months worth and it works out cheaper than even supermarkets own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand doesn't make much of a difference. However there are different types of tablets. You'd be better off checking what type they are rather than the brand.

Happenstance Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Been outside today helping with a bit of gardening and it looks like my hayfever is starting a few months early this year, been getting the familiar tingle in my eye and have just started sneezing.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I was out cutting the grass today, and I normally always sneeze because of grass pollen, but I didn't today, so I guess it hasn't broken out here yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
