Do they say it works well then, aye? I get it really bad and the only thing that ever seems to help me is fluxonase.

[sashabella]

Its what I take. There are all kinds of hayfever remedies on the site, but can't see any Fluxonase.

Mine's been awful the last couple of days, I've used clarityn (or own brand equivalents) the last few years but it doesn't seem to be nearly as effective this year.

I get it really bad. I use Piriteze Max Strength and Flixonase Nasal Spray. Seems to do the trick.

I've had hayfever really bad at Glastonbury in the past, but seemed to manage it last year. i take ceterizine, make sure I take it at least two weeks properly in the build up, also took beconase and some eye drops with me. I enjoyed my festival so much more!!

I stuff toilet roll up my nose at night.

That's a good price, but it's bog standard anti histamine.

[PaulDavis]

How about that new thing where u put them probes up ur nose to relieve ur hayfever

Your supposed to use it 3 times a day but put it in when you go to bed, im sure you'll be fine, im thinkin of getting it cause mines starting to get bad n i have my gcse's now aswell

[Billy09]

It'd bog-standard Loratadine, and once you factor in postage (£2.95) from that site, you might as well get it from the supermarket. Asda are selling 14 tablets for £1 (two boxes of 7), much cheaper than that site linked above.

You can also get bog-standard Cetirizine cheaply from supermarkets - supposed to help with hangovers as well, but can be mildly drowsy.

Last year at Glastonbury I had terrible hayfever, never suffered there before. Used Loratadine and Cetirizine in combination (thank god for onsite pharmacy).

I rub my eyes with daisies, that seems to do the trick.

Reflexology has worked well for me. I used to suffer with really bad sinuses and be on multiple doses of antibiotics each year. The treatment solved the sinus problem and now I'm also no longer suffering with hayfever and am no longer allergic to cats

Ooops, I didn't check the small print. I've not heard of cetirizine for hangovers, but it's unlikely to make you too drowsy, it's one of the less sedating antihistamines, as is loratadine. If you get drowsy with it don't ever try piriton/chlorphenamine, it'll lead to zombification! One advantage of living in Wales, it's all free over here!

Loratadine doesn't affect me at all, Cetirizine affects me very slightly (mild drowsiness is listed as a possible side-effect); but yes, I know those old fashioned antihistamines and zombification!

Not sure about the hangover thing, my Norwegian doctor friends swear by it, take one before sleep. They were talking of Zirtek, which I think is the same thing.

[Alcatraz]

Take desloratodine tablets (I thinks that what they are) and have Beconase spray. The sprays good for festivals and means I can drink more as well

[LostRiot]

I go eye drops nose spray and clarityn, carry the eye drops around for booster, because I can handle everything else but not my eyes turning into marshmallows.

Just don't keep it all together.

It's comforting to know I wasn't the only one who suffered really bad last year! I don't have asthma but a few years back had breathing problems from a bad pollen year so randomly packed an inhaler, so glad I did because weds or thurs night I was wheezing like someone who needs oxygen 24/7!

This year I shall be taking eye drops, a nasal spray, piriton syrup (supermarket cheapo brand) and sudafed to releave congested sinuses! I got all that in boots, apart from the eye drops which were on prescription but at £7 a go now I will look for something cheaper!
