Suggestions for over the counter cures please ?
Best to go to the doctor. I tried Claritin last Monday - splitting headache, still had the sneezes, drowsy and in bed by 8.Quote:

There is no cure. Diphenhydramine will help with symptoms.
I've seen people say that eating a spoonful a day of local honey can build up immunity to the local allergens and they become less-sensitive to it over time, not sure if there is any medical evidence to back that up but if it's worked for some people it's worth a go, it's good for you anyway so it can't do any harm, honey. :-)
How does it feel when nature itself has decided that your very being is such an abomination that it has taken to literally attacking your senses in an attempt to bring you down?
I know a few who that has worked for, you need LOCAL honey though as you saidQuote:

Gin and tonic apparently

I used to get hay fever like a bastard. It tailed off a bit in my twenties and thirties but it was still pretty shitty.
I tried everything from sprays, tablets, drops - even injections for about five years before they found out they caused muscle wastage and banned them.
Then someone recommended local honey so I gave it a go. One spoonful every day between April/May until Sept time.
Worked a treat - still get the odd bit here and there (last week I've had a little bit) but nothing like what it used to be.
Pop along to that farm shop in radyr (the one in that little shopping place just off the a470) and pick up a jar that comes from tonyrefail apiary(?)
Probably the best thing I've discovered since women's vaginas.
Piriteze has always worked for me. I don't suffer really badly but do get itchy eyes and scratchy throat.
Combine the two for a real honey potQuote:
