I don't think we have a thread for this... so I thought I'd make one.
Do you have hayfever or related allergies, what treatments do you find work well?
I get hayfever through about half of the year but it's worst between February and May time. I take Loratadine (or something like that) because it doesn't make me drowsy and it works okay, but I still get a runny nose and itching and sneezing. I also use nasal strips to help me breathe at night, and I have an inhaler for when I get wheezy which can happen too, although not that much.
I find the nasal sprays give me headaches, and I don't use eye drops because of my contact lenses but I do find normal eye drops for dry eyes do soothe a little still.
I also have oral allergy syndrome which is related too, and means when I eat some (most) raw fruit and vegetables I get itchy, sneezy and my mouth/throat swells a bit. Not much I can do about that except not eat things I'm allergic to!
So yes, please share, I'd love to find something new which could ease my symptoms
