All this gorgeous sunny warm dry weather has brought my hayfever on big style.

Sniffing, sneezing, runny itchy nose, gammy eyes and feeling stuffy headed! Not great if I'm like this next year when I get hitched on the 11th May!

Does anyone else have this problem/worry? How are you going to cope?

xx

My sister suffers badly from it too ...........what a pair we'll be! Bride and BM walking down the aisle sneezing and sniffing with puffy eyes lol! Attractive!

Sometime the antihistamines don't work, I'm really going to have to pray we have a good day.

Have you ever had a steriod injection for it? My GP wouldn't let me have it.

xx

I think I'll take it around Christmas! Just to make sure.
Also, I can't take the tablets as they all have lactose in them and I'm allergic .............so I've gotta be like a child and buy the suspension ........it's so embarrassing!
xx

Silk flowers, loads of tablets and vaseline smeared inside my nostrils! (random but my Dr once told me that it stops the molecules clinging to your nostril hair as much so it helps to reduce the itchy nose) It works for me! xx

There is a device you can buy that helps my MIL2B brought it for me for my birthday and i must admit at first i was a bit like gee thanks! But it really works I am a PE teacher so outside all day on a field and they insist n cutting the grass twice a week which killed me last year!It's from Llyods pharmacy and it is called an 'Allergy Reliever' Its a little battery operated machine with 2 prongs that you insert into your nose each treatment is 3 minutes but it is all you need. Would really recommend it xx

Use the nasal spray and tablets together and before the season
Are you completely allergic to lactose or just intolerant? Just because one brand has lactose in doesn't mean they all do either

In Dreamland you should look for this no medicine and it works It's Lly*ds pharmacy and it is called an 'Allergy Reliever' very good! x

Thanks Ossie - I will definitely look for it. Have that particular pharmacy in my little town so will pop in and have a look.
I just didn't want to be sneezing my head off and trying to say my vows at the same time. It's not a good look either walking down the aisle ;)
xx

Oooh, thanks Nic, will look into that one too. Making a note of these!
xx

I've tried eye drops and the nasal spray too. Going to give all of these things a go when I find them and if they're ok for me to take :)
xx

It could be, I always find that lilies and crysanthemums (not sure how to spell those!) makes mine worse. Also yellow rape seed is not good for hayfever! xxx

i take hay fever tablets from end of feb... and also the day before wedding (today) i took tomorrows tablet at bedtime so it is already in my system as i wake. the doctor will prescribe stronger tabs than over the counter... and if you combine with localised honey it should be ok.

I am the same InDreamland! My windows always go up when I get to that stretch of road!! lol xx

Yep, and make sure all the little air vent things are shut! Just to be extra safe!! lol xxx

I arranged our wedding for the end of September hoping I'm over it by then, although touch wood it's not so bad this year... it'll probably kick in big time again next month x

Oh it's bad today! Have put half a tub of vaseline up my nose lol and dosed up on antihistamine!
xxx

We're having all silk flowers because we want to keep them, but also for this reason as I get really bad hayfever. I'm suffering with it already! But after reading this thread, I'm worried about the pollen in the air. We're getting married in June lol so there will probably be pollen everywhere :(
I've never heard of the Vaseline thing but I'll try it:) thanks for the tips.
What would everyone say is the best hayfever tablet? Or the strongest? Lol xxx

Benadryl is quite expensive I looked today when I went to stock up. Got supermarket branded ones cause they usually work fine for me. Need to remember to take them everyday though cause I'm getting grass rash all over my hands! No more sitting in the park for me for a while either! :(

That's exactly the one I picked up today :) I like how there's 14 of them, good 2 weeks worth, the more expensive ones tend to have less than that.

i have thie same problem with the grass allergy too :( am taking loratidine from drs and will probs try the vaseline thing too x im not too bad with flowers it more the tree pollem but im still having fake flowers for my bouquet x the bms are having maybe 5 stems only so shouldnt be too bad x plus hoping that the end of the year should make it easier too xx

I've been really bad today, was enjoying my massage but my nose got all stuffed up so kinda ruined the experience a bit, then as soon as I'm outside or indoors with the windows open I cannot stop sneezing.

I take Loratadine suspension.

I know there will be a lot of pollen around on my big day so my sister and I will have to really dose ourselves up and hope for the best.

my mum is bad with grass and she uses homeopathic stuff might get her to get me some so i can cover my self from all angles. xx

i agrees with raggedy anne pirton works for me to. i get bad hay fever but also have skin allergies bloody sun creaming the kids yesterday as made my dermatitis flare up so my hands are driving me crazy the one a day ones don't last long enough so i take the other ones and take as many as i need one before bed and one in the night if its really bad. i have the habit of making my hands bleed by itching them while i sleep. but pirton works the best for me

fresh cut grass,rape seed and lillys are the worst for me

I took Piriton once and it totally knocked me out (that was before I realised I was allergic to the lactose in it)! xx

That's some pretty strong stuff I think, probably best to take it before you go to bed, will guarantee you a good nights sleep I think xx
