I'm Currently Feeling: | suffering badly with allergies Hi,
I feel so crap, I have excema and in hayfever season it seems to go wild, I can usually control it with a tablet everyday but that goes out of the window when pregnant, Im sat here now with a really sore itchy face, Ive just taken my son to school and the whole walk back I was concious of my face looking sore, my eye lids swell slightly aswell
I took herbel tablets with my 1st pregnancy and I think Im gonna have to get some again even though they werent great, just wondered if anyone is in the same boat as me |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I don't suffer with allergies but my hubby does and I got him this cream stuff that goes under his nose and eyes to prevent the symptoms. I cannot remember if it worked but worth a try? http://www.haybalm.f2s.com/ http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Haymax-drug-fr...QQcmdZViewItem |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i m off work again due to my allergies ......
I was at the doctors last week and the only thing she could give me was nasal spray which i must admit as worked. But she said she couldn t give me anything for my eyes cos their was no medicine allowed in pregnancy and i must admit that is what is causing me grief.
My eyes are itching like anything, normally i have massive eyes and they are just really red, so i would recommend you go and get some nasal spray.
Please let me know if they give anything for eyes... here they won t  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I asked about hayfever the other day as I sometimes suffer and the doctor said to use nasal spray / eye drops to relieve it.
I've also got the itchiness and he gave me a cream which I can't remember the name of it but it's fab  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hi all, am the same my hayfever is soo bad its making me miserable. My mate asked in at Holland and Barrett and they said they are sure pregnant women can take 'New Era' tissue salts for hayfever as they can be given to new born babies but i would check with your mw just incase before you take them.
Am going to ask mw next week as off to Spain on friday so no hayfever, wahey!!
Hope It helps or i'll be staying in all summer! xxx |
