    Hi guys,

    Just a quick note to say the Lloyd's medinose equivalent is likely to be almost as good, if not equal to the branded Medinose. £14.99 is an introductory price; on September 4 it'll revert to it's RRP of £59.99, so it's best to go sooner than later if you want one, although it's still advisable to phone and check for stock first.

    I'm currently helping to put together a full article on Hayfever Cost Cutting, which should appear in the next couple of weeks. Watch this space...

    My hayfever is cured - No more drugs

    I would amend the title to 'My hayfever is under control - no more drugs!'..........your hayfever isn't cured because if you stop using the device, the hayfever symptoms start again.;)

    That said, I was intrigued by the medinose device but cautious about parting with ~£80.:eek:

    I'd like to say thank you to Js_Other_Half:A for telling us about the Lloyds pharmacy version.

    I bought the Lloyds pharmacy 'Allergy Reliever' for £14.99 and I'm very impressed with the results.

    Unlike earlier this week, I haven't had to take any Acrivastine. My nose has stopped running, I haven't been sneezing, I'm not surrounded by a mountain of soggy tissues and another benefit...........I'm not talking like I've got a cold because my nose isn't 'bunged up' any more.:j

    Looking like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (for 3 minutes per treatment session, 3-4 times per day) is a small price to pay.:o

    As MSE Lawrence advises, the 'Allergy Reliever' is only on special offer at Lloyds pharmacy for a short while, so buy now while stocks last...............and before the price goes up to £59.99.;)

    I hope it works for you too.

    Regards

    Nile

    I got the Lloyds one, worth a £14.99 pop, if it works then all it will cost is replacement batteries once a month in summer. No tablets, no tissues,no extra valeting of the car from all the sneezing:rotfl:

    Anything is worth it to stop the 'just beaten up look' my eyes have in full hayfever mode. I fI don't take something wuick enough then my eyelids are red and sometimes puffy too for the next two days.

    I'll let you know how it goes.So far so good.

    I'm definitely going to try this - i have the worst Hay Fever of any person I know suffering from march through to October and its totally debilitating. Just been on the lloydspharmacy.com website and you can currently get 10% off electrical goods. Press on the red 'offer' box print out the voucher and you'll get the allergy reliever for £13.49:T

    Just had to share my little story with someone ...

    I have a new 'friend' (not a boyfriend, but you know what I mean!), anyway he came home with me for the first time last night ... and discovered he is majorly allergic to my cat!

    Am going to invest in the Lloyds Allergy Reliever today, maybe I could let him try it (if he ever comes back again!), can't be any more of a passion killer than sneezing and constant itching!!!
    Gone ... or have I?

    I did a mad dash to lloyds pharmacy at 9:00pm on wednesday night as I couldnt bear to see my OH suffering any longer. He has been using it since then and all of his symtoms are gone. Hes not snoring so much now either (an added bonus)! I dont know how it works, but it works for him!

    Dashed to Lloyds got one for £13.49 and had my first session - I'll let you know how it goes.

    The introductory price is on until 5th September - but they may well sell out at this rate and the £1.50 off voucher can be used until 24th July.

    Fingers crossed it works for me.

    Day 3 of no medication and my nose is absolutely no problem - my eyes have stopped streaming but do itch slightly. I am going to keep on with the allergy reliever and see how it goes. I couldn't imagine not taking anti-histamines in the middle of summer before this gadget.

    This has got to be better than taking tablets and I'm actually feeling less drained because I'm getting a decent night's sleep - I recommend the £13.49 investment.
