Hayfever

[sarahsea]

Hiya

Hope eveyone is well, my dad came back from Calis yesterday and says it was red hot!  Looking forward to my 2 weeks out there soon.  How are you hayfever sufferers out there? Does the Turkish weather give you the same symptoms or don't you get it out there.  I am asking because my son suffers badly with it over here in England, I am hoping that he doesn't get it whilst we are over there.

Enjoy the sun, those of you that are over there!

Hi Sarah,
Both my partner and our youngest son suffer from allergies/hayfever/asthma.Neither have ever had a problem when in the area and my partners says her asthma improves when in Turkey.
This may just be for her but she has never needed her inhaler when on holiday.
Hope this helps.
Glenn

Does anyone have any good cures for hayfever.  Daughters boyfriend suffers and hasn't come across anything that helps.

I have been a bad sufferer for years now. I still get it in Turkey but nowhere near as bad as at home. If it does start getting out of control I normally go and sit on Calis front and the sea breeze takes it away

In regards to medication, I am on a combination of Tablets (Clarityn type but on prescription), Becanase Spray and, in the last week, I am trialling a light therapy device that Lloyds chemist sell. Basically you shove it up your nose for a few times a day (couple of mins each time) and its supposed to relieve the symptoms. Not sure if it is doing anything but it is certainly not making it worse. You do look like rudolph for a few minutes a day though.

I have had injections in the past (rubbish) and have took part in some trials (useless) - Pretty much try anything really

a spoonful of local honey morning and night, i was told recently.  It is to build up your resistance slowly to pollen.  Mind you not sure what you do, about grass (so many answers there), dust etc.  Natural remedy, cant hurt to give it a try.

Yeah, heard the same about Honey but you need to take a few months before the season begins - so next time you are there, stock up for 2009

i just dose myself upon allergy tablets (clarytins(sp?) ect) and rub vaseline(sp?) on th einside of my nose, usually works a treat, thats when im at home, when im in calis it generally isnt so bad but i still take the tablets as they stop the mozzie bites reacting so much.

My Hayfever is worse in Turkey, I think.  But I also think the season is earlier that in the UK.  I am over the symptoms now.  So maybe you'll be OK.

All according to which pollen you are allergic to!  My poor son is in a terrible state at the moment.  I am going to get him one of those things from Lloyds Steve, he has the ioniser and does think that helps at night in his room (albeit noisy!).

In the UK I would still be having trouble at this time but as I am turkey I am over it.  I am allergic to grass.

I hope your son is out of his season soon.  It's a misery.  When in the UK I tries Homoeopath.  It was very good.  It costs for the first visit while they get all your info but after that it isnt so bad and I found it was great for a few things.
