Dymista helps for me

Has anyone paid for the Kenalog steroid injection to treat hayfever? It’s supposed to last up to 3 months and it’s £75.

There’s a clinic 1 hour away from me so i need to do some research into it.

Are clinics still open and offering this treatment in the current circumstances?

For the last two months I've been taking Beconase (twice a day) and Loratadine tablets twice a day.

And its been working for me. Key is to take medications before spring starts.. Yes I did start taking them in February, its helping me now. And will continue to do so.

Yeah, only takes 10 minutes (weight + height check and injection).

The clinic I’ve been looking into have a message on their home page letting people know they have to wear a mask or face shield to enter the clinic.

It's just started to warm after snow over the weekend so yeah, I think so.

My peak is June, got some time yet

CaptainRAVE · 29 Jan 2021 at 13:13

Lots of the garden has started to bud and many plants flower beforehand, so it could well start.

Oddly enough I have been sneezing quite a bit for the past couple of weeks and thought it felt like hayfever but dismissed it as it’s winter.

There are certain types of pollen around through January to October generally.

If it is, I'll be killing it with rum tonight.

Felt my eyes start itching this afternoon, funnily enough. And I do generally get it very early in the year, although usually more around March time.

Different pollens circulate all year round, I take a tablet everyday all year, Autumn is pretty bad for me.

Sho · 30 Jan 2021 at 05:52

Yup same here. I've been sneezing a lot lately, about 2 weeks. I'm back on my heyfever tablets.
It normally starts for me around end of February/beginning March.

Zefan · 30 Jan 2021 at 06:34

I'm gonna preload myself on the tablets again this year but it's way too early still for me; I don't usually really feel it until May at the earliest so will likely start in April at some point.

alexakasloth · 30 Jan 2021 at 08:32

Mine starts around march usually, I have a grass pollen allergy and telfast at the ready.

andy_mk3 · 30 Jan 2021 at 09:34

I take the antihistamines all year round, I seem to have dust allergies. I also seem sensitive to strong smells like cleaning chemicals.
