HAYFEVER relief!!

lilmoi1985lm

Cant stop rubbing my eyes, I hate this time of year. Piriton stops my other symptoms but not this. HELP REQUIRED!! xx

withabix

Try sodium cromoglicate eye drops.

Available in various brand names (Opticrom, Optrex Allergy etc), but the generic stuff is just the same and cheaper. Tesco do an own brand, so do most other chemists.

It's a 'behind the counter' product, so only available in pharmacies. Read the label - you can't use with contact lenses etc.

Totally agree with withabix, just started using it this year, I cannot believe the difference.

Thanks, I'm desperate might even drive over Asda and see if they have anything, or on second thoughts will get bus as cant see for rubbing!

And store it in the fridge - nice and cold really feels great when your eyes are burning. I love eyedrops

Hello lilmoi1985lm

As a fellow hayfever sufferer, you have my sympathy.;)

I wonder whether you have read the thread on this board 'My hayfever is cured - No more drugs'?

If you are quick, you can buy the Lloyds Pharmacy Allergy Reliever at a special introductory price of £14.99..............and even cheaper with the discount coupon.

I've posted about how it works for me on the thread. I can honestly say, I haven't used any eye drops (or acrivastine capsules) or any other hayfever medication since I started using the Allergy Reliever device on Friday 22nd June.

Regards

Nile

If it doesn't say you can do this on the pack I would check with the pharmacist before just in case it made the liquid separate or something.

I use Opticrom; storing it in the fridge was recommended to me years ago by the dispenser at the Chemists and I have always done it with great relief.

But you have made a good point - and thanks for reminding me - it is always best to ask for personal advice from your Dr or Pharmasist before trying new medications or drugs.

I'm with Nile on this having bought one of the Lloyds ones last Saturday after reading the thread linked above. I haven't taken anything either. I did notice my eyes started itching a bit yesterday afternoon then realised I hadn't used the machine at lunchtime as I usually . I've had hayfever really badly since I was two and usually take anti-histamine, beconase and have eye drops on hand. Now it may be that because it's been so wet that the pollen count is low but I do think the machine is well worth the money.

I don't have hayfever but DH does.

Try eating local honey - I've no idea how it works (perhaps you build up some kind of resistance to pollen). A friend of mine suggested this so I bought some. DH has been eating it most days and so far, no hayfever.

Hope this helps

An old boss who suffered from hayfever told me about this too and I thought he was just being barmy. Does it work??
