I ususally clear out a couple of times in the morning then I'm good for the day.

I've tried Fexofenadine before but found it wore off quite quickly. I was on it through my GCSEs but found afternoon exams a struggle. It works about the same as Cetirizine for me but is a lot more expensive and means going to a Dr so I stick with Cetirizine.
There was an injection I think, but I'm not sure is still available?

I found Fexofenadine did sod all for me.
I've heard about injections but it's usually given as a last resource.

Is this something which you should really go to the doctors for?
I ask because I seem to have a cold all year round. It becomes more noticeable when the sun is out and it starts warming up.
I did once go to the doctors years ago about having a bad cold, it was summer at the time and my eyes would always be watering and my nose streaming. I explained what it was like to the doctor who said it could be hayfever, he gave me something to take (don't remember what) but eventually I stopped taking it as I didn't feel it was needed and that I wasn't sure I had hayfever. This was due to not having any tests done at the doctors to confirm it.
But now I can't seem to get rid of a cold, I can be fine some days and then some days my nose will be runny. It isn't that I'm always sneezing although sometimes it does go like that, currently my nose just runs.
Does it sound like I could actually have hayfever? I'm heading to Sainsbury's later, so might see if they have anything.

Noticed it for the first time yesterday, but it was easily tolerable. Managed to spend a whole day outside in the glorious sunshine with only one or two sniffs.
But I know it's coming!

Question for fellow hayfever sufferers
Has anyone tried an Air Purifier and did it actually work ?
My hayfever is back with a vengeance and was considering it, the websites claim many good things for allergy/hayfever sufferers and rainforest reviews sound positive but spending £75-150 would hate to waste that cash !

i got an airfree purifier last year, it worked well last year (unless i just had a good year for hayfever) but it's hardly touched it this year (well this last week it all kicked off for me, tuesday being the worst day)

2 years on the trot i have asked my GP for a higher dose of hayfever tablets and he always refuses no matter how crap they are.
As above i get nosebleeds from sneezing so much, haven't asked about an Injection yet but will do once it starts again.

if you get nosebleeds try not using the nasal sprays, when i quit the sprays i stopped getting several nosebleeds a day
but a good nosebleed makes me feel loads better lol it seems to clear the symptoms up for at least 20 minutes after
