[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1172848, member: 209498"] My hayfever is as bad as ever. It used to be a lot worse until about six years ago. I used to volunteer for any hayfever medication trials I saw advertised. I did one where I took grass pollen tablets daily for 12 weeks before the grass pollen season, which were supposed to desensitise you. It did work for me and I had hardly any symptoms that year, and my symptoms haven't been so severe since. If you take it for two years it is supposed to desensitise you completely. The medication is now available, called Grazax. But the NHS won't prescribe it (except for children) as it costs £2 per day. I would gladly pay £60 a month if they would prescribe it for me. You can get it privately, but you have to pay for a private doctor's consultation and prescription (£100 I think) and then it costs around £250 a month. I think the hayfever might raise my bs levels, as the symptoms are similar to a bad cold with itchy/watery eyes, and they do stress me. So I think I am going to delay my next HbA1c test which was due around the end of August, until November. [/QUOTE]
