As a long time and (bad) sufferer I can recommend Pirinase nasal spray, take a day or two to get going but its very effective, along with a pill, and occasionally eye drops all is good in the sneezing season now |

"Anyone else worry about arranging meets, but then suffering snotty, runny noses, sneezing and itchy eyes, and feel like it will ruin the meet. Do I just wait till autumn?"
Not sure if it’s common knowledge. But I was advised by my doctor years ago, you’re supposed to take antihistamines THE NIGHT BEFORE |

I've had this since I was 5, so about 50 years now. Tried Beconase, Pirinase, many other varieties, sprays, pills, eye drops, injections, tests, all sorts. Still looking for something that works fully, but mostly it's dunking my head in a sink. |

So glad I grew out of mine
I used to take 3 different types of tablets, spray and eye drops and still suffered
Apparently there's an injection you can get which is meant to be a game changer but I don't know anyone personally who has had it x |

Kenecort injections literally will change your life if you have bad hayfever, I used to get it terrible would take 4-6 of the “one a day” tablets to no effect tried all the sprays ect ended up just accepting that was life for many years putting up with it till found the injections honest it was a new lease of life went from sneezing 100+ times a day to zero sneezes in a week honest they changed my life as my allergies were year round just milder in winter and the injections made me normal again I urge anyone to try them |

"I'll see if I can get them."
I think they are only available privately now and cost 80-120 quid, I buy 2 years worth online for about £40 and that’s using 3ml a time vs the 1ml they usually give (others might not need that much) I know not everyone up for jabbing themselves and would rather pay the extra to have a professional do it. Happy to share the link if wanting to go that route |

Mines been unreal this summer. 180g Fexofenadine works for me mostly. Can get it in 120mg pills at Tesco under brand name Allevia, so I just take a pill and a half daily while the pollen is high like this |

I’ve had the injection and it worked wonders. Unfortunately they only allow you to have it every two years. If I could find another place to get it I would. Can’t recommend enough. |

I get the pollen jab every year it’s £50 in your ass cheek but it does seem to help , I spent years with my eyes looking like a puffer fish and and runny nose , every now and then it does play up but rub a bit of Vaseline around the nostrils |
