[WillowTheWhisp]

I used to suffer from it really badly when I was younger, the full works, streaming eyes, raw itchy nose/throat/roof of mouth, sneezing. I have no idea how I managed to get through my exams at school and I'm convinced that I'd have got better marks if I'd taken them in the winter.

I also have all sorts of other allergies like Mez but after I got pregnant with Mimi I never really suffered as badly with hay fever in the summer. I still do get more wheezy and breathless at this time of year but nothing like it used to be. Mind you, there's a plant in an overgrown garden up Willows Lane that really gets me huffing and puffing.

I too tried all kinds of remedies, the one which worked best for me though was a homeopathic thing called "combination H" (not to be confused with "Preparation H"). I got them from the stall inside the market but I don't know if they still do them. They were little white things that just dissolved on your tongue.

Other than that all I can recommend is pregnancy.
