I don't usually get it until summertime proper when everyone's cutting their grass, but I seem to have kicked off early.

I buy Tesco's own brand antihistamine tablets. 7 for 99p. They work better than all the expensive brands.

where are you?

it could be related to this ash from iceland because alot of the effects from it are the same as hayfever

London. Am currently waiting for sunset - supposed to be some cracking views with the volcanic ash

Been riding my motorbike around Finchley all morning, wasn't too bad...but now, my nose is running faster than Usain Bolt

Lots of people suffering here in Manchester today due to the ash kicking off asthma and hayfever, everywhere is getting a light coating of dust as well.

Getting the odd attack. I always get it fairly early though, its the tree pollen that gets me rather than grass, though over the last few years it seems to be eased for me.

I was fine today until I walked out of the door. My eyes were streaming literally 10 seconds later. I turned around back inside, popped an antihistamine and went back out again. I was fine 15 minutes later.

What gets me is that hayfever NEVER hits me like that so there must be some additional factor.

That´s weird... YES, waaaay too early this year!

I´m allergic to wheat and some other late season grasses. A couple of days ago, we had a BBQ in the garden of a friend of mine and promptly got a severe allergic reaction. I never had this that early.

tbh I've been coughing my lungs out for a week or three/four now. At first I almost thought it was because of a new pillow I bought round about the same time as the coughs started :/

My eyes are itching like mad today, luckily I found some antihistamines from last year but I think its time I stocked up. I have a bit of a cold anyway so not noticed a runny nose.

The worst part about it for me is the roof of my mouth gets itchy, drive me mental.

My hay-fever's just starting up, but usually does around this time of year, so not really unusual.

No antihistamines needed yet

i have prescription hayfever medication and even with that i have been blocked up and had runny eyes. completely sucks, i am thinking about going back to the doctor but i'm not sure what more he can do because the tablets i'm taking now are already one step up in strength from the first lot he gave me which didn't do much. does anyone else get hayfever this bad and have similar experiences?
