Used to have hay fever but the older I get the less it seems.

I've never heard of Telfast (Fexofenadine hydrochloride, just looked it up

) but if Ed says its good I might try that myself !

Edit - Drinking alchohol will make hayfever worst too

Telfast is terrific stuff, it clears you up in not time and doesn't make you drowsy. Strongly recommended.

As re nasal spray - I use Nasonex but I don't like it and only for emergencies when I simply can't breathe.

I use the Boots own-brand Clarityn knockoff, it seems pretty effective. I also got some herbal remedy for it- asked the pharmacist if I could take it at the same time as Clarityn... "Don't see why not, it doesn't do anything"

Yup, Acupuncture.... (?Sp)..

My best friend had HF really bad. Tried everything, pills, sprays etc..

He went to the doctors and got put on this acupuncture program (lasted about 2 months). He'd go every saturday (Or every 2 weeks, was years ago).

Halfway through the treatment, he stopped going. This was about 4 years ago. He still doesn't suffer with hayfeaver to this day... Recommed it to anyone. Told a women at work who's BF suffers from it and he's booking himself in for the treatment also.

Always worth a go....

My hayfever has banged in with a vengence over the last few days...even with tablets.

I have found a new use for flip lids...when I start sneezing, i can flip the lid on the move....saves a messy lid!

As Ed said- Telfast is top gear man

I wes in France two weeks ago, strimming, cutting and raking dry grass in my in-law's field for two days. I took Telfast and had no problems at all.

Get you GP to prescribe 3 or 4 months worth on one prescription and it is a lot cheaper than buying over the counter stuff.

I think I'm going to have see the Doc and get some of that (Telfast).
I thought I'd finaly shook off my hayfever as I didn't really suffer last year.

Took two tablets yesterday (one a day cetrizine) and still everytime I went out the house my eyes started itching, and my nose started streaming.
