It's that fun time of year again. Does anyone else suffer from Hayfever??? Watery eyes, itchy outside of nose, blowing of nose and the odd sneeze.

Working in a pharmacy I hear on a daily basis about people's allergies and I just feel so sorry for them! The symptoms are horrid. A good antihistamine, 1 every day should help

I was told by a friend that antihistamines take awhile to kick in, so if you take them at night, you have a good amount in your system in the morning which is meant to help prevent allergies during the day. I am not sure if the science is correct lol but since taking one each night during allergy season, I have felt so so much better. I sleep better too as my nose isnt blocked. Apparantly I snore less too haha!!!

There hasn't been a lot of pollen down here yet so I haven't had much hayfever so far. Thanks for the hints, I'll appreciate them when the season really kicks in!

My poor partner has tried so many long term things for hayfever mostly prescribed by the Dr and long term however next spring I will try the local honey to see if it helps

I have chronic hayfever (I suffer with it all year round, not just seasonally, although it's so much worse in Spring). I find Razene to be one of the best antihistimines, and take one every night with dinner. If it's really bad (like last night, where I ended up sneezing and coughing with a post-nasal drip, even after taking the antihistimine before bed), I take a second tablet in the morning, as well. 

Rinsing my sinuses with a saline solution really helps get rid of any allergens, and clears blockages. I use a sinus rinse bottle (similar to this one) and just mix my own saline solution at home, using one eighth of a teaspoon of water in 250ml of cooled, boiled water.

It really was AboutFace. I'm glad the homeless people were moved off the park before it happened or there could have been fatalities. I can't believe I'm talking about homeless people living on parks in Dunedin - what happened to my country?????

I agree with you MareeB -Nz should never have homeless -We should be a more compassionate society

Definitely sad Maree, no there shouldn't be any homeless people here. Where were they moved to?

It is sad that so many people are homeless and a lot are on drugs too.

I don't know where they were moved to AboutFace. I'd say some managed to get a room in transitional housing, others probably live in cars. The lucky ones might have gotten rooms with other people.  I didn't think I'd ever see the day that NZ would be like this.

So much has changed on our country,  I just love to remember the times when kids would play in the street, go to each other's houses, that's when I was a kid. Good times!

Such a sad situation for them to be in Maree, hopefully they have found something better for them.

I also pays to get an allergy test, I used to think I had hayfever, but it turns out I'm allergic to dust mites. If you can be sure what you're allergic to, you might be able to avoid it (to a degree).
