All my friends say their hayfever is much better this year than any other, yet I can barely open my eyes today.
My nose is like a temperamental snot volcano which just won't stop exploding at the smallest opportunity!
I've taken antihistamines but to no avail. GRRR

Me too. I was nearly blinded by streaming eyes on the bus yesterday.
So I took extra antihistamine before bedtime, which was a mistake when it came to getting up this morning.
Am going to go to GP for more nasal spray stuff (Beconase, forget the actual name of the drug).

I don't have hayfever, but this month so far I can't get contact lenses in and am producing excess nasal mucous.
Maybe some environmental toxin (of non-natural source). But then again my skin is a mess - I was blaming an exam diet for that, and I am covered in midgee bites!
On top of that I have pulled muscles in my left leg, blistered both heels with new shoes, done something very bad to my right knee and hurt my back.
Young, fit and healthy - I;m trying but failing at all 3 this week!
I was fine till Tuesday evening, my eyes swelled so much my parents swore I'd been in a fight. I've been drugged to the eyeballs ever since.
I find Beconase is good, so long as I take a tablet in the evening as well. It does take a while to work at first though. Daft as it sounds, wearing glasses/sun glasses can keep out a large percentage of the irritant too. I also vary which anti histimine I use, as I seem to get 'immune' to them after a while and need a change.
Hope this is some help.
Just a little tip re the anti-depressant. I am on the dreaded Seroxat which is also an SSRI and w/d is no picnic! The prozac you take is similar and from the same group...SSRI's. Do you know that alcohol is off limits with any of the SSRI's (not a ticking off for you...just sound advice!). Your a/d and alcohol mix will make mental health issues one heck of a mess!
Try looking at this website...you'll see what I mean!

Hope the studies go better and you get some blinkin' rest & money too!
Cheers!
the nasal spray beconase has changed my life.
Hay fever is as bad this year as ever, I'm seeing loads of it in my practice.
I am trying Haymax a non-drug salve - beeswax and lavender oil - seems to be helping on the really bad days.
I don't really suffer from Hayfever but I've been sneezing like mad this summer - it's good fun to a certain degree as my sneezes are either stupidly quiet or deafening!
