Lovely hayfever season is here and me is dying. I hear yogurt is good at reducing the symptoms of hay fever so have been taking some day n night - the "meg milk" labeled pot you see here. Is you suffering from hay fever and do you know of anything that can help (apart from gouging my eyes out and slicing off my nose).
allergy medicine? thats what i take but i dont know if it works or not since i just believe it that it works so it might be my will to survive thats saving me instead
ho boy. gonna be there next week ^^;; here in the states i usually take meds, but then i usually pass out... not a great vacation strategy.
I'm gonna be there the week after, but fortunatly I don't have hay fever. But I guess allergy medicine should do the trick...
You should try some Ginger Ale :D
I have it every spring and no amount of medicines, eye gouging, or nose cutting offs work for me, I just suffer till the fall season.
corticosteroid nasal sprays are the way to go, hayfever used to seriously kick my ass before my pharmacist recommended a corticosteroid spray called beconase now i barely get any symptoms at all.
Um, I don't have a problem with it but I guess some kind of a medicin would work, or a secret Japanese cure from the edo-era. But if medicin are making you tired then I guess it's kinda a double edged sword.
no hayfever for me but i do have a pretty mean sinus attack on some mornings.
oh dear sorry that your hayfever is causing you problems :O My husband has hay fever as well and he has to take allergy medicine ^^; We heard that having honey (or produce related to bee pollen) may help (but haven't really tried it) ^^;
Wonder if it's Royal Jelly you're talking about, since it is good to reinforce your immune system?
oh that too! ^^
I heard about the honey thing too - will try it.
honey lemon is yum! I also heard that it may take a while before it has distinct effects, so hopefully it'd work for you danny!
sorry i got the coughing and sneezing and nose blocking horrible desease because of yellow dust from the gobi =_= i dont know what hayfever is
I don't think I ever experience a hay fever before, but I do know that yogurt does helps. Oh, and don't forget to drink lots of water, especially just after you wake up in the morning :) Wow, life sure is tough there with all this stuffs happening ^^;
same here. no hay fever experience. wonder how it feels like?
No experiences of such a thing here either. :
Another one with no hay fever experience here. ^^
Jumping on the bandwagon of hayfever-less people here ^_^||| Hope you get better soon, Danny.
Wow, I didn't allergies are so popular. :P
...didn't know.. Sorry for yet another comment. ^^''
guess i'll join in the party of the "inexperienced"... hope you get well soon danny...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hayfever attacks when sakura trees are about to blossom, right? If so, when I went to japan it was already past that time, as the flowers had already opened. But anyways, I do have some allergies, and I do have some problems with my nose and eyes... kinda understand the problem. Nose gets all cramped up, you can't breath very well, and eyes get all irritated and stuff. Anyways, wish you get well soon Danny... I'm expecting to see some nice cherry blossom pics and a nice hanami post? Wish I could be there too... I had a great time in a hanami with a bunch of strangers when I went to Japan...
That's why it's so great to have a mother that is a doctor, whenever I get something she can always prescribe something that cures it or makes it alot easier at least. Anyone else would have to go to the hospital and get examined to get a prescription and go to the pharmacy and all, which most people wouldn't even bother with, but she just picks it up after work. ^_^ And regarding hayfever, there are alot of allergic medicine (pills) for it. And nose spray for allergies should help alot too. I don't really have any serious allergies but I can get a little affected by pollen sometimes when it is really bad, but one pill and gone it is.
Oh no Danny's sick? Take care! There has been some fatal cases recently due to an flu outbreak in HK so take extra precaution. You wouldn't want to leave a few hundred-thousand readers crying no?
For allergies and hayfever try a combination of Allegra D and Cleranex. When I was in Japan last year on during this same week I didn't have a problem. Hell I breathed better in Japan then anywhere else I've been... including Austrailia, USA (Minnesota and Arizona) or Canada. Cleranex is actually for azthma which I don't have but it works really effectively against hay fever type allergies when used in combination with Allegra D. If you can't get Allegra D you can try Cleratin D. I was shocked a year ago how many people were wearing masks because of allergies. Danny, If you can get them there give this a try...you won't regret it.
You know Danny, if you had talked about this some years ago, I would have told you that "I have got this everyday". It happened to me every morning, just after waking up, I always wondered why. Since I came here, it only happens when I completely lack sleep... Even if I have a long-lasting, relatively well-entrenched nocturne habits, sneezing in chain (sometimes 7 times in a row!) is a bad memory that is far away now. Just to say that wondering about the factors, allergenics (dust, dust mites -ewww-) but also humidity or room temperature can play a role in that. I am not sure if a severe lack of sleep can be responsible as well, though.
I did express myself in a much crappy manner this time. I hope you understood my comment well despite that.
How many hours do you sleep?
In fact my problem is not the number of hours I sleep, but rather that I take power naps during the day and stay almost overnight... I always have been much more of a night person and finding sleep can be a pain sometimes. Hopefully, my schedule (university classes) is rather light, even if like for those past weeks assignments and exams have been piling up. I really should try to sleep early again one day. orz
And I forgot the main part of the question... When I tend to work overnight for an assignment and the classes are in the morning, immunity levels are low... etc.
Hmmmm..... Chinese Meds (super bitter) My gramps makes it (he's a doctor). I hate taking meds. It always taste bad. I barely take pills when I have a cold.
hay fever sux! It's killing me. =(
Too bad there aren't many Pharmacists that roam this place. But for what it is worth, I always have used short lived medicine that takes the curb off and I bear the rest it the day. Ever since I left a place that fried chicken I have not had and bad allergic problems. Simple advice ,I drink plenty of warm fluids that keep my head from heading south. Too bad, not much help for me is there not even loratatine can help there.. -phed PE w/o psudephedrine, only four hours long but it work for me for colds, allergies and congestion without any acetaminophen also it it does not put me in a haze. Of course talk to a Doctor if it is really bad. Just my unprofessional experience. I don't want to break any laws.
wearing gasmask (stormtrooper mask) should help
Hmm, you could always come to here in Canada, where it will still be winter for a month. Or you could live in the arctic, where it will never be hay fever season all year long.
If only that is true for all of Canada. Over here on the West Coast, spring had already struck and the dripping noses are out in full force! You wouldn't believe how much tissues are in the trash bins in my college rite now!Honestly, i would rather shovel snow then not be able to breath.
Don't know about the nose but my suffering is always relieved by wearing (sun)glasses outside, keeps the pollen out of the eyes.
danny, did u forget to watermark this photo? ^^;
Thanks for reminding ^^;
Hum hay fever comes from allergies which is very difficult to cure. The best way is to avoid pollens and such things but that would mean you would have to live in a bubble. What I recommend is.... filling yourself up with vitamins and complements for years and years and you'll see loads of differences. I haven't had a fever nor a flu since I started taking vitamin complements since I was 15 (7 years ago).
I got hayfever too, every year from ~April to July. I don't use allergy medicine (except an asthma spray), because nothing ever worked for me.
Is "Hay fever" 花粉症[Kafunsho] ?? If yes, I can recommend Loratadine (A.K.A. Claritin[クラリチン] in Japan) Althougn It has mild near no side effect, Anti allergy effect is strong. As a long time Kafunsho patient, I can really reccomend it. But Claritin is a prescribed medicine in Japan. I wonder if you have a Japanese national medical insurance（国民健康保険）? P.S. You're relly Japanese in both body and soul(^^;...
btw, how long does the hay fever season last???
about 6 weeks.
Antihistamines you take one tablet when required is probably the best option. That's what I take since I have hayfever. Nasal sprays are also quite good but depends if you like using sprays. Some people don't. Most common antihistamines are... Zyrtec Telfast Claratyne
Yep, you're right. Hopefully I managed never to need them and suffer in silence, but not for too long. I hate automedication, makes you dependent and addicted in the worst cases.
Sorry, I can't help since I have never suffered from allergies before.
heres a common sequence for me: Spring arrives, get hayfever, have an asthma attack, end up in hospital for about a week. until 2 years ago when i started taking "anti-histimines" (spelling?) ive never had anny problems since. in a way "itts like using a bazooka against a fly!"
Yep, I have pollens allergy too so I understand and support you Danny. But unfortunatly, I know no magic medicine except the usual antesthaminic and corticoid... To use ligthly tough as it can have side effects (getting accustomized, shorten growth etc...) Thankfully, It is much better for me in Singapore ^^
