Had some hayfever symptoms today which have left me itchy as f
k on the face head and neck.
Some years I get really bad hayfever and some years barely any symptoms. On the years it’s bad, none of the sprays, tablets or anything have any impact at all.
Given how bad my reaction seems to have been after 20 mins in the garden this morning. I’m going to try the steroid injection.
There may be some side effects but this feels like a year my body/nature has decided to go nuclear.
Anyway, booked in for Sunday so will see what they say and what happens. I’ve already scratched one of my itchy knuckles raw.
Have you tried Chlorphenamine? That should help with the itch. I'd avoid Kenalog as we discussed above, especially as no reputable health professional will administer it, not to mention the risk of being given a fakek on the face head and neck.

Going to try these for a couple of weeks and hopefully they do the trick. If not and I have severe attacks this summer he will consider the injection further.
Going away for an outdoors type long weekend end of this month, so should be a good test.

My GP advised I try prescription strength Fexofenadine 180 for a month and if that didn’t work he would give me the injection. He said take 1 a day at the same time and 1 in the morning and 1 at night if I felt I needed to.
I was extremely sceptical as I have tried everything over the years although I have to admit I’m not familiar with Fexofenadine and it doesn’t ring a bell.
I have to say it’s working 95%. Some days I take two if I’m feeling a little bit itchy in the eyes but then it’s gone within the hour.
I’ve bought a load of generic Fexofenadine 120 over the counter and taking 1.5 to equal 180.
Seems to have done the trick fingers crossed.

Not sure what you are paying OTC but they are relatively cheap on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Allevia-120-Tablets-Fexof...My GP advised I try prescription strength Fexofenadine 180 for a month and if that didn’t work he would give me the injection.
