A wet winter followed by some dry and breezy days will almost certainly bring on hay fever symptoms and they may well stay until after the end of May or until the grasses start to dry and die off.

I have allergic rhinitis so am prescribed antihistamine on a daily basis and have taken it since my mid 30s (20yrs or more on medication). Without it, after a couple of days my eyelids and underneath my eyes swell and go so puffy they're almost transparent. My eyes itch and stream and my nose runs constantly - all year round. The tablets keep it at bay (5mg each day is enough to control it but for the next couple of months, I usually have to juggle between 5 - 10mg as each day arrives).

So think yourself lucky that your symptoms are likely to be short lived ;)

I sympathize with you so much for suffering as you do day in day out

I have always suffered from extreme chronic hay fever for many years, swollen eyes, sneezing, runny nose and sore throat
I also have other illnesses and
my eye lids also swell to enormous sizes as I also suffer from Angioedema, so I sympathize again

like you I take huge amounts of antihistamines 185 mgs daily, and today I had to add another one into the mix

I am allergic to grass, so must be loads of grass pollen about
but my antihistamines are not touching this
so staying indoors or getting down by the sea sounds like the only answer

because we are so near to the sea, I never expected to suffer from Hayfever whilst living here

None of that sounds good!

But usually, it does only last a couple of months - you will notice people who never suffer from hayfever as a rule, may get symptoms too from now until end of May.

After that, it does get better - but it's very green at the moment and that grass has to go somewhere. :-(

Hay fever affects up to 30% of all people worldwide, including up to 10% of U.S. children under 17 years of age and 7.8% of U.S. adults. The medical cost of allergic rhinitis is approximately $3.4 billion, mostly due to the cost of prescription medications. These figures are probably an underestimate because many of those affected may attribute their discomfort to a chronic cold. Although childhood hay fever tends to be more common, this condition can occur at any age and usually occurs after years of repeated inhalation of allergic substances. The incidence of allergic disease has dramatically increased in the U.S. and other developed countries over recent decades.
