So we moved in September to an area with new / more trees etc. and the hayfever has set in with a vengence! Cetirizine leave me groggy all the next morning and the Loratadine seems not be working over 24 hours. Fexafenadine is short term, but again doesn't last a decent amount of time.

Anyone else suffering? Or even better know of something else that may help?

Right, it is a bit better, the Loratadine seems to sort of kicked in. But my nose still gets blocked at night when I go to sleep.

I've picked up some fexofenadine (Allevia) as an extra boost, which seems to work, but does give me some dry mouth.

Interesting comments on diet, I do have a mild milk allergy and my diet has been pretty awful for the last few weeks / months and I have bit of eczema etc. which I'm sure is as a result of it.

So I guess that probably isn't helping much.

I'm on Bilastine now but was a fight to get them. A colleague in the next district uses them after he used them in Poland. My doctors wanted me to try all the cheap ones first until we got to this one. It does wonders. I take it a few weeks before it kicks off too to get ahead of it. 1 tablet will last more or less all day unless I'm up a mountain or cycling in mid Summer and I'll get about 6hrs before needing another.
Thread resurrection!

Looks like it is my garden. It's in full bloom and Loratadine is keeping the worst at bay, but I still have the sneezing fits, grainy eyes and blocked nose at night.

The AC filters the bedroom air, which helps a lot.
