All year hay fever?

Chasingmytail · Feb 20, 2019

Since beginning of Jan felt full of cold it slowly improved then I had what felt like about of mild tonsillitis. Went to GP yesterday got another steroid spray. I thought it may be GORD as the symptoms are the same but its just popped into my head that pollen from trees can start from January!

Last year I suffered from March. Prev to this Ive had bouts of 'cold' but not real cold as such its a terrible sore throat, post nasal drip which can be really bad and blocked ears. Thinking about it this has been going on for donkeys years but on the mild side,

Going for bloods on Monday I hope it shows up in the IgE test.

Its making my life very intolerable as getting nausea, struggling to breath and just feel muh…. just feel ill.

It might be intolerance to mould spores, I had hay fever for years , then started getting brochities every autumn, antibiotics etc, then a new GP and some inhalers, and now mostly controlled with hay fever tablets , so hope yours turns out ok, it is really debilitating.

Do I recall correctly you keep birds - if so, ask them to check for avian intollerances in your bloodworks, as I found out in later life I have an allergy to birds of the pigeon family.
Basically the spores in the waste when breathed in affected my respiratory system. Doctors couldnt find anything wrong via normal tests / ecg etc, so I asked to see a specialist, who then found the route cause.

Allergy to birds is similar process to farmers lung so will make you bunged up and feel a bit ill.
Constant hay fever is called allergic rhinitis and you may have several allergies.

Figured it out def tree pollen in particular Alder. You can go on the Worcester Uni pollen calender. Since the weather changed and the high pollen has gone to moderate to low things have improved loads.

Since my bloods came back normal and nurse didnt take my IgEs as dr hadnt ticked the box I cant confirm this and since then I have not been able to book an appointment as its either full or cant get through.
