    is it asthma triggered by pollen? look at asthma uk website for info on this for inhalers,tablets etc,anti histimines....weather meant to change in a few days so may feel better.

    I have hayfever at this time of year and take anti hestimines which help a lot. I think it can also trigger breathing problems if you have asthma. Its the pollen that does the dirty on me. Love Sue

    My hayfever has been very bad today. taken tabs and used a nasel spray a little better now.
    may be you have a cold too my mum gets hayfever like me but she also has a bad cold and cough at the mo too.
    lets hope the pollen count goes down.

    Hi, glad its not just me I have had a runny nose and a cough for what feels like forever, I was beginning to think it was because of my leflunomide, went to my own Gp and he is trying me on some hay fever tablets but they don't seem to help much they are just making me very sleepy. Thankfully I see my rheummy tomorrow so will see what she thinks

    Hi My husband has just come in from the garden and is full of hayfever. He finds its the grass pollen that gives it to him and the grasses are all in seed now. :? I've just taken an anti-hestimine :)
    Hope everyone soon feels better, Love Sue

    dont know if this is worth a try....
    hubbie bad with hayfever and on anti histimines and has inhaler if needed
    son usually same suffering as husband, on anti histimines but also started a month ago an asthma tablet called singulair which is for asthma which is triggered by hayfever and exercise, touch wood, he is fine and just the odd sneeze like me......nowhere near like husband...touch woood this is the answer!

    p.s told husband to go to docs to get some of these tablets, he doesnt think they are going to work!!! (i am not adding any sexist comments here!!)
