Hayfever sucks. It is the bain of my life and every year it seems to start sooner and last longer. It really makes me very unhappy. Especially as it starts when the weather is at its best and I should be able to be out and about enjoying the sunshine!

Another bad thing about hayfever is that it seems to come on with no warning whatsoever. Ok, so the weather includes a pollen count during the summer (as it is pollen that causes the affliction by irritating the inside of the nostrils) but I think it is very random, as days when the pollen count is high do not always affect me and days when the pollen count is very low knock me for six!

There do not seem to me to be any real cures for hayfever. There are many concotions that you can take that lessen the blow of hayfever. I do take anthistamines and have taken a wide variery in my time - clarityn, piritin, xzyal to name but a few, as well as homeopathic ones that did not do much! I also use a nasal spray and I have to say this one seems to be successful. I use Flixonase at the minute and the summer of 2008 was not as bad as previous years - maybe due to the terrible weather! I have previously used different nasal sprays, but they did not work. You need to use them every day and cannot take them when your nose is running for obvious reasons - it just runs out too!

I drink vast quantities of orange juice to improve my vitamin c and I take zinc supplements, as I heard once that it was helpful.

When I am struck by an attack, I take decongestants as well as cold and flu tablets or sachets of lemsip. But I find the only thing that truly works is sleep, as you just hope that by sleeping it off you will wake up and the hayfever will be gone.

i am lucky not to suffer from stingy sore eyes or a sore headache,a s my brother does, so I am thankful for that. But generally hayfever sucks

Summary: I wish I did not suffer from this
