    I have had a blocked ear over the last couple of days. Usually it clears within an hour but today it's being stubborn. This is a new symptom to me, usually it's just eyes and throat.

    Found that pharmacy first are doing great deal on cetrizine tablets. £0.59 for 30 tablets. £2.99 delivery. Here's a link http://www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/medicines/hayfever-allergy/tablets-and-capsules/cetirizine-10mg-tablets-30-tablets-zirtek-substitute-/prod_2352.html.

    They also have loratidine which I might get as well.

    sorry Mac, have been off line for a day or so, yes I had no problems ordering my hayfever products and my postage was free, so sorry that you are having problems ordering? Maybe as more people are becoming affected they have decided to wack on the postage charges!! Robbers.com!! hope you have some luck getting what you want elsewhere perhaps.

    No symptoms for me yet but I'm a grass pollen sufferer so that won't be starting yet.

    My survival techniques:
    Come home and wash hair immediately
    Dry everything indoors for a few weeks
    Eye drops, beconase, antihistamines
    Allium cepa - it's a homeopathic remedy and you take it in tablet form as and when needed, I'm normally not a believer in alternative remedies but after having horrendous hayfever for the past 10 or so years I think I've tried every remedy I can (short of immunotherapy because I just can't afford it) and this seems to actually make a difference, to the extent that I actually don't care if it's just a placebo effect, I feel better and that actually means more to me than science.

    I don't have hayfever but had a bad pet allergy and really wanted a dog, it only started in my late teens and have had dogs all my growing up. Breathing, eyes, nose and felt really drained.

    So i did some research to try and cure it rather than medicate it, it sounds barmy but EFT stopped my allergy. I went to my friends with dogs and let my allergy come on then i did the routine 4 times and it went.

    I had to do it about twice the next day and then never had a single sympton since :j and got my doggie at last.

    Heres a link explaining what to do if you want to try it. :)
