Hayfever

[Pleb]

It can fuck off if I'm honest with you.

[SincereTheRebel]

Nettle tea lad. Actually go out and pick the nettles from wild. They do sell it, and it probably does work, but I've never purchased.

[SvN]

I'm so glad I don't have this disability.

[Boydy]

Just get some antihistamines.

[phonics]

My bodies not made of glass so I don't get hayfever and I don't need glasses. Get better genes you weaklings.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This year has been woeful for it. The right antihistamines do ease it though.

[Disco]

Never had even a hint of it. Suck it nerds.

[SvN]

Based on the people I know, there's a definite link between being a nerd and hayfever.

[phonics]

Plebs probably got an inhaler and all. Crap lungs much?

[Disco]

Broken Britain mate, would never have happened during the war.

[Spikey M]

Imagine being fucked up by a flower.

[Boydy]

Just because your head is too small for pollen to fit up your nostrils.

[Spikey M]

Then Kiko must be permanently debilitated.

[John]

Poor Toby.

[Pleb]

Plebs probably got an inhaler and all. Crap lungs much?
Got Asthma as well mate, lungs are a bit shite :thbup:

[Baz]

I’m straight so I don’t have hayfever.

[Raoul Duke]

I’m straight so I don’t have hayfever.

You're thinking of gayfever there.

[Spikey M]

Keep the HIV chat in the jobs thread.

[Mike]

Mines through the roof this week. Thought I might have gotten away from it this year too.

[Smjffy]

Local honey, Mike. I can't remember my last dose of hayfever since I started that before the season hits.

[Lewis]

I thought I had had hayfever forever, but I recently had some blood tests done as part of being diagnosed with chronic rhinitis that said I don't have any allegergies, and that it's just that. It's the most annoying thing ever.

[bruhnaldo]

Is "hayfever" what we would call "allergies" ?

[randomlegend]

The girl has the worst hayfever I've ever come across. She's on max doses of everything they can give for it and it's still miserable. Only thing left is the immunotherapy which she can't get as our CCG doesn't fund it.

[Pleb]

Is "hayfever" what we would call "allergies" ?
If you want then yes.

Allergies can fuck off.

[mugbull]

Is "hayfever" what we would call "allergies" ?

I think so.

You learn something new every day on this board

[Gray Fox]

Hayfever tends to be meant as specifically pollen related in the UK.

Which is why you don't hear about it until our summer comes back around.

[mugbull]

Ya when people say “my allergies are bad” in the US it means pollen too

[mugbull]

My allergies are bad

[Boydy]

That doesn't make any sense though, does it? Since you can be allergic to lots of things.

[mugbull]

Only if you’re a pussy

[Mike]

BUMP!

Mines been so bad this year I've booked in to pay for the injection. £25. It better sort it. Anyone had it?

[randomlegend]

Get yourself on the immunotherapy lad.

[Mike]

Left it a bit late this year, haven't I? Like if its already kicking my butt. Shouldn't you start that before hayfever season hits?

[randomlegend]

Yeah it takes time to work. Wife is a couple of years into it and it's made a huge difference.

The steroid injection will almost certainly make a big difference, but systemic steroids are not a great thing to be taking.

[Magic]

On the old fexofenadine.

[randomlegend]

Wife was on such a high dose of fexofenadine before the immunotherapy that the pharmacist phoned the consultant before dispensing it because they though it must be a mistake.

[Lofty]

Nasal spray and benadryl here.

[Dave.]

Cetirizine one a day tablets for me, just use them as needed. Hay fever not as much of a problem this time of the year, I tend to have issues start of May with it.

[Mike]

Looked more into that injection, the side effects and why it’s no longer available from the NHS and decided against it. Been taking Fexofenadine that I got last year (and if forgot about) and they’re helping more but don’t last the day. Got a prescription for Desloratadine waiting for me too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I take one tablet of Cetirizine if I need it.

My hayfever is never too bad thankfully.
