Hi
Christina,
I
hear
you!
I
first
got
hayfever
when
I
returned
to
Australia
after
my
first
overseas
trip.
It
always
affected
my
eyes
but
I
discovered
Claratyne
a
few
years
ago
and
it
was
a
life
saver!
However,
this
past
12
months,
my
symptoms
changed
and
I've
had
chronic
sinusitis
since
last
Spring. I
don't
know
why
this
has
happened,
though
a
friend
has
put
forward
the
idea
that
the
weather
and
lack
of
rain
doesn't
help.
The
Claratyne
doesn't
do
its
thing
as
far
as
my
sinuses
go,
so
my
doctor
told
me
to
try
Zrytec
to
give
my
system
a
change.
At
my
last
medical
she
recommended
Becanase
spray
which,
so
far,
has
been
great.
I
have
tried
doing
the
natural
thing
but
you
need
to
be
taking
the
garlic/horseradish
for
a
while
before
you
will
notice
any
change
and
with
the
situation
I
was
in
(no
sleep
for
3
nights
running
at
one
point
a
year
ago
due
to
breathing
difficulties)
I
needed
drugs
fast!
Also,
I
found
the
taste
of
the
herbal
tablets pretty
hard
to
swallow!
Aside
from
the
horrible
physical
ailments,
hayfever
can
be
irritating
and
disrupting.
I
hope
you
can
find
some
relief
soon,
I
know
exactly
how
you
feel!

Horseradish
is
worth
trying
and
also
honey
comb
(that
is
the
bees
wax
with
the
honey
in
it)
1
teaspoon
a
day
-
wax
n
all.
Also
Google
neti
pot
It
is
used
for
irrigating
the
nasal
area.
I
have
heard
a
lot
of
people
get
good
relief
using
one.
(Me
-
I
just
stand
under
the
shower
and
breathe
in
some
of
the
water
a
bit
and
that
helps)

Spice
-
same
deal!
I
was
fine
growing
up
in
the
country,
all
kinds
of
plants
around,
hay
carting.....
no
problem
at
all.
Went
overseas,
came
back
and
hayfever
every
season
and
often
when
its
not
hayfever
season!!
I
have
tried
pretty
much
every
readily
available
drug
on
the
market
with
limited
success.
The
one
I
have
at
the
moment
is
a
Priceline
homebrand
one
-
Fexofenadine
or
something
like
that.
Most
really
bad
days
I
take
a
double
dose
to
be
sure!
But
do
switch
around
different
drugs
until
you
find
one
that
works
for
you,
don't
just
stick
to
the
one
brand
if
its
not
working.
Garlic
and
horseradish
etc
might
work
on
the
milder
days
but
watch
the
weather
on
the
TV
news
-
they
often
have
a
pollen
count
indicator
shown
which
is
often
a
good
guide.
Fess
saline
spray
twice
a
day
also
helps.

Christina,
start
inhaling
boiling
water
over
a
pan
and
also
add
some
breathe
easy
to
it,
you
can
get
that
at
the
health
food
shop.
Do
it
around
2
or
3
times
a
day
for
around
15
minutes.
Its
a
pain
in
the neck
but
thats
what
helped
me
get
rid
of
my
sinisitis.

I
only
had
it
once,
a
few
years
ago
we
lived
across
the
road
from
a
huge
wattle
tree,
it
had
yellow
puff
flowers
and
the
pollen
made
my
eyes
stream
and
I
would
sneeze
repeatedly
whenever
I
ventured
outside.
When
I
had
to
go
up
the
street
to
walk
my
son
to
preschool
I
would
be
walking
for
nearly
three
blocks
before
the
symptoms
eased.
Then I
had
to
walk
home!
Check
your
garden
and
see
if
there
is
a
shrub
out
in
flower
that
you
may
be
allergic
too
and
get
a
friend
to
prune
it.
Your
chemist
should
be
able
to
give
you
a
list
of
antihistimines
that
might
help,
many
now
are
non
drowsy
so
you
should
be
able
to
function
much
better
and
not
be
trapped
indoors.
I
was
lucky,
once
the
flowering
stopped
my
sympoms
went
away.

thanks
everyone
for
the
replies
:)
Hopefully
fellow
sufferers
of
hayfever
can
find
some
relief
I
went
to
the
chemist
this
morning
and
told
them
that
Telfast
wasn't
working
anymore.
They
recommend
that
the
tablets
used
are
changed
every
season
as
the
body
gets
used
to
them.
I've
never
been
a
fan
of
nasal
sprays
but
after
spicearoo
suggested
one
I
thought
I'd
give
it
a
go.
I
ended
up
getting
Rhinocort
the
chemist
said
that
it
might
take
a
few
days
to
work
but
for
some
lucky
people
it
helps
straight
away..lucky
me
within
a
couple
of
hours
I
feel
great!
nicegreenpetticoats:
Jasmine
is
the
plant
I
can't
stand
and
we
have
a
pretty
big
tree
on
our
property.
I
started
trying
to
cut
it
back
(not
very
cleaver
I
know!
sneezing
my
head
off!)
I'm
going
to
get
my
hubby
to
get
rid
of
it.
What
also
doesn't
help
is
there
is
empty
block
next
to
ours
where
grass
had
gotton
to
waist
height
and
they
mowed
it
the
other
day
so
now
is
dried
out
and
blowing
everywhere
:(

Quercetin
tablets
are
what
you
need.
They
are
herbal
and
available
by
mail
from
Golden
Glow.
Take
every
hour
or
so
until
you
get
relief,
then
as
per
directions
daily.
I
took
them
regularly
like
that
for
about
18
months,
and
didn't
have
any
more
hay
fever
for
years.
Now
I
keep
some
on
hand
for
the
occasional
'mild'
dose
I
get,
but
very
rarely
need
them.
They
go
out
of
date
before
I
need
them.
good
luck.
