I had been disgustingly healthy all my life, never had any allergies etc: and then in Northern Queensland on a round Australia trip in 2005 I
copped hay fever. It was so severe that I was using around 7-8 toilet
rolls a day blowing my nose. My entire face became bright red.
Antihistamines from the pharmacy did almost nothing. Local doctor sent me to a specialist who gave me a five day course of steroid tablets.
Relief!!! pretty much all gone, just an occasional Claratyne. It slowly
came back, but now it is not seasonal; I have it permanently, but at a much lower level of intensity. Probably 30 or 40 sneezes a day. Claratyne
3 or 4 times a week.
