Got a meet coming up soon, and at the moment I can't breath properly :shock: and my eyes look like the red balls on a snooker table.
I have a feeling that this won't bother them, but I would like to look half decent! :P
Any ideas on how to get rid of it? it really is driving me bananas! And i don't want to spend the meet sneezing and rubbing my eyes!
Any ideas welcome xx
Anti histamines.
cucumber slices or used cooled chamomile teabags on your eyes
Any idea what triggered it? Maybe some fresh cut flowers in the house? Or a neighbour's new pet?
Years ago my summer hayfever was still annoying me in October - very unusual. I heard that mattresses hold a lot of dust so I hoovered the mattress both sides as well as the base. I fetched out about 3 inches deep of the finest dust you can imagine into the Dyson. And the symptoms had gone by the next day.
Try two of these:

Guaranteed to work a treat! smile
blow your nose

I haven't had any symptoms yet and loads of people were cutting their grass last week. biggrin

This happened to me about 10 years ago and I was diagnosed with 'all year round rhinitus', it's a form of hayfever but sufferers get it every day more or less with no relief sad
Thanks Mrs B! used chamomile teabags last night, and really helped xxx going to buy a cucumber later (stop giggling!)

To be honest I'm not sure, I vac the bed every time I change it as my cats sleep on it, (must admit I don't vac the base.. will try it) but I live near fields, and the rapeseed tends to start me off, but seems to be particularly bad this year!
I have been taking certirazine, but its not working at all... made an appointment for the doc on Friday... hope he can help!!!!

It's early days yet rolleyes
This time of year grass is unlikely to be a problem - it has to be flowering for you to get the symptoms. There is very little flowering now, and I've not heard of people being allergic to cherry blossom.
It's more likely to be animal dander, dust or mould. Even someone who has had animals for years can suddenly become allergic to their pets.
If it is worse at a particular time of day or after a particular activity that would give a clue as to the cause.
Even all year rhinitis is caused by one or more triggers. It can be a challenge to identify them, and may be impossible to eradicate them but it's worth a go.
Dunno how to get rid of it, but you could just meet, head straight to the bedroom, and lie face down with your face buried in the pillow. That should sort it for ya! :thumbup:
Or just hold the meet in the shower. cool
Thanks Foxy xx will see what I can find out... I have had pets all my life, but I can see your point. I'm seeing my doc Friday and will see what he suggests. xx
